GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1.

The Universal Hoist has 45kgs weight capacity when installed properly.
Overloading the Universal Hoist can result in personal injury or property
damage. We are not responsible damage or injury due to improper
installation or lifting beyond the hoist capacity.
This Universal Hoist is designed to lift one item only (Bike, Car Roof Box,
Kayak, etc.)
Do not hand additional weight onto the lifted item.
Never lift the item with persons, children, or pets still on board. This could
result in personal injury.
Do not install the Universal Hoist near electrical outlets or fixtures.
Do not install the Universal Hoist in locations where human traffic will occur.
Read and familiarize yourself with the installation procedure before
tackling this

INSTALLING THE UNIVERSAL HOIST (SEE PIC. 1)

Pick a suitable location to mount the Universal Hoist. It is important that
your hoist is attached to a sloid wood ceiling joist. The joist must be 6 x
12cm or larger. (See the Drawing 1 and 2) Next you must determine that
you have sufficient wall clearance. Measure the distance from the center
to the side of the hanged item (kayak is an example). Add 12 – 14cm for
clearance of the side wall. (See the Drawing 3, B + C = Distance)
The hook pulley assembly must be mounted a minimum of 15 – 20cm
apart. This kit includes enough rope for mounting hooks up to 3m apart.
Determine distance by the style of item you owe. In cases of very short
style items, hooks can be moved closer together. For best results we
recommend that you attach your Universal Hoist to the wide side of a 6 x
12cm board. (Drawing 2) The board can be attached to the joist with lag
bolts. Use the measurements in Drawing 3 to determine the location of the
front and back hook as shown in Drawing 2. Use the wood screws
provided to attach the hoist mounting brackets to the board (Drawing 2)
or directly into the joist (Drawing 1).

The hoist and board assembly can be attached to the ceiling joist using 6 x
40mm lag bolts with flat washers. (As shown in Drawing 2) (Lag bolts,
washers and board not included in kit.)

EN 5 INSTALLING THE UNIVERSAL HOIST/THREADING THE UNIVERSAL HOIST/OPERATE THE BRAKE

Use the B + C = Distance measurement to mount the board on the ceiling joist.
Measure out from the wall and mark the joist. Hold the board in the proper
position on the joist(two People job) and mark the location for the lag bolts. Drill
a hole for each lag bolt. Make sure the lag bolt is centered on the joist
(Drawing 2).
Next mount the lift cleat to the wall. The lift cleat must be attached to a solid
wood wall stud. Mount the lift cleat at a comfortable height.
(Approx. 120cm).

THREADING THE UNIVERSAL HOIST

3.

After attaching the Universal Hoist mounting brackets to a board of
appropriate surface you must thread the nylon rope through the pulley
system before you hand the pulleys. Start by threading the ropes (2)
through the brake device as shown in Drawing 3 below. Follow the thread
route (A through C on rope one) (A through D on rope two). Be sure the
hooks at B and C face inward. Make a loop at the end of the rope. Push
the bolt provided through the mounting bracket, loop and pulley hole. (C
and D)

OPERATE THE BRAKE (SEE PIC. 2)

4.

Remove the excess rope from the wall cleat. Pull the rope inward towards
the brake lowering your hanging item. Releasing the rope will allow the
brake to stop the hoist from lowering. To raise the article simply pull the rope
in short strokes until you reach the desired height.
