Danger, Warning, Caution, and Notice
Throughout this manual there are steps and procedures
that can present hazardous situations. The following
signal words are used to identify the degree or level of
hazard seriousness.
Danger indicates an imminently
hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, will result in death or
serious injury, and property
damage.
Warning indicates an imminently
hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, could result in death or
serious injury, and property
damage.
Caution indicates a potentially
hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, may result minor or
moderate injury or property
damage.
Notice is used to notify people of
installation, operation, or
maintenance information which is
important but not directly hazardrelated.
These general instructions deal with the normal installation, operation, and maintenance situations encountered with
the equipment described herein. The instructions should not be interpreted to anticipate every possible contingency
or to anticipate the final system, crane, or configuration that uses this equipment. For systems using the equipment
covered by this manual the supplier and owner of the system are responsible for the system’s compliance with all
applicable industry standards, and with all applicable Federal, State, and Local regulations/codes.
This manual includes instructions and parts information for a variety of hoist types. Therefore, all instructions and
parts information may not apply to any one type or size of specific hoist. Disregard those portions of the instructions
that do not apply.
Record your end trucks’ Code and Serial No. (see Figure 10-1) on the front cover of this manual for identification and
future reference to avoid referring to the wrong manual for information or instructions on installation, operation,
inspection, maintenance, or parts.
Use only Harrington authorized replacement parts in the service and maintenance of this hoist.

Equipment described herein is not designed for and MUST NOT be used for lifting, supporting, or transporting
people, or for lifting or supporting loads over people.
Equipment described herein should not be used in conjunction with other equipment unless necessary and/or
required safety devices applicable to the system, crane, or application are installed by the system designer, system
manufacturer, crane manufacturer, installer, or user.
Modifications to upgrade, rerate, or otherwise alter this equipment shall be authorized only by the original equipment
manufacturer.
Equipment described herein may be used in the design and manufacture of cranes or monorails. Additional
equipment or devices may be required for the crane and monorail to comply with applicable crane design and
safety standards. The crane designer, crane manufacturer, or user is responsible to furnish these additional items
for compliance. Refer to ANSI/ASME B30.17, Safety Standard for Top-Running Single Girder Cranes; ANSI/ASME
B30.2 Safety Standard for Top-Running Double-Girder Cranes; and ANSI/ASME B30.11 Safety Standard for
Underhung Cranes and Monorails. If a below-the-hook lifting device or sling is used with a hoist, refer to
ANSI/ASME B30.9, Safety Standard for Slings, or ANSI/ASME B30.20, Safety Standard for Below-the-Hook Lifting
Devices.
Hoists and cranes used to handle hot molten material may require additional equipment or devices. Refer to ANSI
Z241.2, Safety Requirements for Melting and Pouring of Metals in the Metalcasting Industry.
Failure to read and comply with any one of the limitations noted herein can result in serious bodily injury or death,
and/or property damage.
It is the responsibility of the owner/user to install, inspect, test, maintain, and operate a hoist in accordance with
ANSI/ASME B30.16, Safety Standard for Overhead Hoists and OSHA Regulations. If the hoist is installed as part
of a total lifting system, such as an overhead crane or monorail, it is also the responsibility of the owner/user to
comply with the applicable ANSI/ASME B30 volume that addresses that type of equipment.
It is the responsibility of the owner/user to have all personnel that will install, inspect, test, maintain, and operate a
hoist read the contents of this manual and applicable portions of ANSI/ASME B30.16, “Safety Standard for
Overhead Hoists”, and OSHA Regulations. If the hoist is installed as part of a total lifting system, such as an
overhead crane, the applicable ANSI/ASME B30 volume that addresses that type of equipment must also be read
by all personnel.
If the hoist owner/user requires additional information, or if any information in the manual is not clear, contact
Harrington or the distributor of the hoist. Do not install, inspect, test, maintain, or operate this hoist unless this
information is fully understood.
A regular schedule of inspection of the hoist in accordance with the requirements of ANSI/ASME B30.16 should be
established and records maintained.
