Read and understand the
entire contents of this manual before installing
hoist or attempting operation. Failure to comply
may cause serious injury.
8.0 Unpacking
Remove hoist from its crate and carefully inspect its
components for shipping damage. Report any
damage immediately to your distributor and
shipping agent. Do not discard any shipping
material until hoist is installed and running properly.
Contents of shipping crate
1 Electric chain hoist
1 Chain container with fasteners
1 Power supply cord
1 Pendant control
1 Chain gauge (attached to pendant cord)
1 Top hook assembly
1 Bottom hook assembly with chain
1 Operating instructions & parts manual
1 Product registration card
1 Test certificate
9.0 Installation
Support for the hoist may be hook, clevis pin, trolley,
or beam clamp. Whatever method of suspension is
chosen, the support components must be rated
equal to, or greater than the capacity of the chain
hoist. Supporting structures (such as I-Beams)
should be installed by properly licensed professional
installers.
If you are using the hoist with a trolley, refer to the
trolley manual for instructions on securing the
control cord and maintaining proper slack in the cord
during operation. Optional pendant cords for use
with a trolley system are shown in section 18.0
TIP: If suspending from a trolley, it may be easier to
remove top hook from hoist and attach it to trolley
load plate, then re-attach hoist to the hook.
Make sure the suspension system used is properly
grounded, in addition to the grounding of the hoist.
9.1 Mounting top hook
If the TS-series hoist will be used without a trolley,
attach the top hook with the provided pin(s), lock
washer(s), hex nut(s) and cotter pin(s).
If the TS-series hoist will be used with a JET MT
trolley, do not attach the top hook. Instead mount
the hoist to the trolley bottom using the provided
fasteners through the aligned holes. See Trolley
manual.
9.2 Power cable
All electrical connections must
be made by qualified personnel. Read sect. 10.0
before connecting this unit to power.
Hoist only: Connect the power cable leads to an
extension and run the line to the electrical panel, or
install a UL/CSA approved plug to draw from a
receptacle.
Hoist with MT trolley: The trolley will draw its power
through the hoist. Connect trolley cable to hoist.
Then direct hoist cable to the power source. See
trolley manual for instructions.
IMPORTANT: The power cable should be directed
so that it is safely out of the way of loads. If a trolley
is used, power cable must not interfere with, or be
pinched by, trolley travel. See Figure 9-1 for a
recommended solution.
