dynamic loading! Sudden load movement may
briefly create excess load causing product failure.
3. Do not operate when load is not
centered underneath.
4. Do not operate hoist with twisted, kinked, or
damaged wire rope.
Inspect wire rope carefully before every use.

10. The warnings, precautions, and instructions
discussed in this instruction manual cannot
cover all possible conditions and situations
that may occur. It must be understood by the
operator that common sense and caution are
factors which cannot be built into this product,
but must be supplied by the operator.
Installation Specific Safety Information
1. The supporting structure the hoist is mounted
to (including trolley, monorail, or crane) must
be designed to withstand the loads and forces
imposed by the hoist for the rated load.
2. Install in location that allows the operator
to move and stay clear of the load.
3. Locate pendant controls at a convenient
level above the operating floor.
4. Do not install where the load hook can
be lowered beyond the rated hook travel
under normal operating conditions.
5. DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD.
An extension cord would cause a drop in line
voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
6. Inspect the hoist as explained in Frequent Inspection
on page 8 after installation but before use.
Inspection, Testing, and Maintenance Specific Safety Information
1. Perform a “Frequent Inspection”
at least monthly, see page 8.
2. Perform a “Periodic (Thorough) Inspection”
at least yearly, see page 8.
3. More frequent inspections are needed
for hoists that are used heavily.
4. Raise test loads only to the minimum extent needed
and stay well clear of load at all times during testing.

SAFETY OPERATION INSPECTIONINSTALLATION
Grounding Instructions
TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK AND DEATH FROM INCORRECT
GROUNDING WIRE CONNECTION READ AND FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS:
1. 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.
This hoist is equipped with an electric cord having
an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding
plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
2. Do not modify the plug provided – if it will
not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
3. 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 equipmentgrounding conductor to a live terminal.
4. Check with a qualified electrician or service
personnel if the grounding instructions are
not completely understood, or if in doubt as
to whether the hoist is properly grounded.
5. Use only 3-wire extension cords that
have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole
receptacles that accept the hoist’s plug.
6. Repair or replace damaged or
worn cord immediately.
