INSTALLATION
The Hoist is provided with a specially designed brackets allowing it to be attached to
pipes, box sections or rectangular beams. (see fig. 1)
Beam dimensions must be carefully
calculated and all mountings must be of
adequate size and capable of sustaining the
maximum load of the hoist, plus the weight of
the hoist and mountings.

OPERATION
Taking all necessary precautions
previously stated, pay out the cable,
under tension so that the coils on the
drum remain neatly in place. Attach
the hook to the load, ensuring it is
directly above the centre of gravity of
the load, or in a direct line with the
winch.
Ensuring that no obstacle prevents a
clean lift or pull, gently raise the load
or winch ‘in’.
When lowering a load, be aware that when the hoist button is released, the load will not
stop immediately, but may continue for a few more millimeters as the brake takes effect
It is possible to double the capacity of the hoist by doubling the cable about the pulley,
and attaching the hook to the hoist casing via the hole provided.(see fig. 2)
