A. PLAN INSTALLATION

Pull car into garage with object on car rack.

Measure length of object. Plan to position Hoister so garage door can open with object lowered.

Opened

STORAGE OPTIONS

Measure height of object. Make sure object can be stored above or below the open garage door.

OPTION 1. Above garage door: Make sure there is enough clearance to lift and store object above open garage door.

Opened

Opened

DIAGRAM 1. Plan to position object above car with clearance to open garage door. If Hoister is mounted too close to garage door, there may not be clearance to open door. Mounted too far forward, object may not balance or lower onto car.

OPTION 2. Below garage door: Use if not enough clearance for above garage door storage (Option 1). Object has clearance to lift and store below open garage door.

STEP 1 CONTINUED: DETERMINE HOISTER LOCATION; RAFTERS RUNNING FRONT-TO-BACK

B. PLAN LOCATION OF MOUNTING BOARDS

Mounting boards are used to position Hoister directly above object to be lifted.

7806 Hoister (200 lb/91 kg system) requires mounting boards to span minimum three rafters.

WARNING! Do not screw into laminated rafters. They are not intended to accept fasteners. Consult rafter maker for recommendations. Screwing into laminated rafters may considerably weaken system, causing load to fall and cause an accident.

Note: Mounting boards may not be necessary for

installation in ceiling with exposed rafters. In ceilings with exposed rafters, system can be installed on rafters. Position Hoister directly above object to be lifted. If installing without mounting boards, go to Step 3 (page 8).

DISTANCE BETWEEN MOUNTING BOARDS

Distance between mounting boards should be 35% of the object's length.

Exception: Distance between mounting boards for long, light weight canoes/sea kayaks will be less than 35% of the object’s length.

Calculate distance between mounting boards using formula or chart below.

_________________ x .35 = _________________

Object length 35% Mounting distance

Tip: The distance does not have to be exactly 35%. Greater distance is okay and distance for long canoes and sea kayaks can be less as stated above.

LOCATE CEILING MOUNTING BOARD POSITION

DIAGRAM 3. Distance of mounting boards from front wall is important, as it affects the position of the welded screw eye in Step 5A (page 9).

To level object, adjust tension by moving knot or adjusting webbing strap at buckle.

STEP 7: OPERATING HOISTER SYSTEM FOR ALL ASSEMBLIES

WARNING! Disable garage door opener when installing, raising, or lowering the Hoister. Do not raise or lower with anyone standing under object. Keep area below Hoister clear. If the load falls it can cause an accident.

A. RAISE OBJECT

Hoist in a series of pulls. Pull single black/red hoisting rope (F) straight down.

WARNING! Do not use this product for human suspension. Components can fail causing person to fall, possibly resulting in serious injury or death.

With rope pointed down, the cleat will lock the rope. Angle to release. Repeat until object is at desired height.

B. STORE OBJECT

With object in raised position, make sure single black/ red hoisting rope (F) is securely locked in cleat with rope pointed down (Diagram 21). Coil loose rope end.

WARNING! Hang coiled rope where it will not accidentally snag on persons or vehicle. Keep coiled rope out of reach of children. Damage or injury can result if rope is angled away from wall with some tension; the object can come down very quickly and cause an accident.

Tip: For additional security, use two 5/16" (8 mm) polyester safety

ropes. Securely tie ends to pigtail lag screws under object, parallel with webbing straps (E). Remove safety ropes before lowering object.

C. LOWER OBJECT

Securely grip rope, apply tension, and angle it away from front wall. Bring arm up to let rope out and then back toward the wall to lock the rope. Repeat until object is at desired height.

Locked Rope (F) down

DIAGRAM 30. Locked (left): Single black/red hoisting rope (F) pointed straight down locks cleat. Open (right): Angled rope opens cleat.

WARNING! Stop pulling as soon as object contacts ceiling, or webbing strap knots stop at pulley (D). Damage or injury can result from forcing the system. If in doubt, stop hoisting, allow cleat to lock by angling rope down. Stand back to see if object is raised to the maximum, or if something is jamming rope or object.

(cleat open)

WARNING! When operating system, make sure area below object is clear of persons. If object comes down too quickly, this can cause an accident.

Tip: Use gloves to protect hands.

CAUTION! Avoid injury, do not let rope slip through hands. Angle rope to wall to lock rope.

SELECT THE HARKEN HOISTER YOU NEED:

1. Determine maximum weight you will lift and select correct Hoister.

2. Standard Hoisters are designed for a maximum ceiling height of 10' (3 m). Contact Harken for taller ceilings.

3. Check distance between ceiling and top of garage door in open position. Will object fit in this space? If not, will object lift

and store under garage door in open position? If not, consider turning the object 90° and placing in the front of garage.

4. Hoisters 7801, 7802, 7803, 7806, and 7808 are designed to lift an object no wider than 5' (1.52 m). Width can increase if vertical lift

is lower or a taller ceiling model is used.
