7.0 Unpacking
Lift the hoist out of the carton by the top hook or
the center section. Do not apply excessive force to
the motor cover, as damage may result.
Carefully inspect the hoist for shipping damage,
and for loose or missing parts. Report any damage
immediately to your distributor and shipping agent.
Do not discard any shipping material until the Hoist
is installed and running properly.

8.0 Installation & Assembly
Support for the hoist may be hook, clevis pin,
trolley, or beam clamp. Supporting structures (such
as I-Beams, etc.) should be installed by properly
licensed professional installers.
Whatever method of
suspension is chosen, the support components
must be rated equal to, or greater than the
capacity of the chain hoist.
8.1 Electrical Connections
Electrical connections must
be made by a qualified electrician in
compliance with all relevant codes. This
machine must be properly grounded to help
prevent electrical shock and possible fatal
injury.
Figure 2
This machine’s power cable is installed with a plug
that has an equipment-grounding conductor and a
grounding prong, similar to that shown in Figure 2.
The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet
that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances. Do
not modify the plug – if it will not fit the outlet, have
the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
8.2 Grounding Instructions
This machine must be grounded. In the event of a
malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a
path of least resistance for electric current to
reduce the risk of electric shock.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The
conductor with insulation having an outer surface
that is green with or without yellow stripes, is the
equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or
replacement of the electric cord or plug is
necessary, do not connect the equipment-
grounding conductor to a live terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service
personnel if the grounding instructions are not
completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether
the tool is properly grounded.
Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord
immediately.
Make sure the voltage of your power supply
matches the specifications on the name plate of
the hoist.
8.3 Extension Cords
If an extension cord is necessary, make sure the
cord rating is suitable for the amperage listed on
the hoist’s name plate. An undersized cord will
cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating.
Use Table 2 as a general guide in choosing the
correct size cord. If in doubt, use the next heavier
gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier
the cord.
