INSTALLATION
UNPACKING INFORMATION
When received, the hoist should be carefully inspected for damage
which may have occurred during shipment or handling. Check the
hoist frame for dents or cracks, the external cords for damaged or
cut insulation, the control station for cut or damaged enclosure, and
inspect the load chain for nicks and gouges. If shipping damaged
has occurred, refer to the packing list envelope on the carton for
claim procedure.
Before installing the hoist, make sure that the power supply to which
it will be connected is the same as that shown on the nameplate
located on the side of the hoist.
NOTE: To assure long life and top performance, be sure to follow
the load chain lubricating instructions on page 15.
INSTALLING THE SUSPENSION
A. Single Reeved Units:
Remove the hook or lug suspension from its carton and the two
suspension screws. Place the suspension assembly into the recess
on top of the hoist so that the adapter body follows the contour
of the hoist. Insert the suspension screws through the holes in the
adapter and hand thread these into the self locking nuts enclosed
in the hoist. The screws will turn freely into the nuts until the last
1/4" (6.35mm) of travel, during which the resistance of the nut
locking collar will be encountered. Securely tighten the screws to the
recommended seating torque (see Table 2) using a 12 point socket
which fits the head of the screw.
B. Double Reeved Units:
Remove the hook or lug suspension from its carton and the two
suspension screws, dead end pin, washer and cotter pin. It should be
noted that a Double Reeved suspension includes a dead end bolt and
block for supporting the dead end of the chain as shown if Figure 7.
Place the suspension assembly into the recess on top of the hoist.
The dead end block should project through the bottom of the hoist
with the pin hole and slot aligned to the underside of the hoist as
shown in Figure 7. If these are not aligned as shown, lift the head of
the bolt and block assembly and reseat the bolt head to obtain the
proper alignment. Do not change the position of the dead end block
on the bolt to attain this alignment.
Check the position of the pin hole in the dead end block to make
sure it has not been disturbed from its factory setting. The distance
from the top of the pin hole to the bottom of the hoist should not
exceed 1/4" (6.35 mm) for Models E, E-2, H and H-2 and 7/16"
for the Models R, R-2, RR and RR-2. If the distance is not correct,
adjust the position of the dead end block to obtain the proper
distance (see Page 48).

CHAIN CONTAINER

This accessory (see Figure 6) is used to hold slack chain and it is
supplied complete with mounting hardware and instructions. The
chain container is recommended for those applications where the
slack chain would interfere with the load or drag on the floor as may
be the case with double or triple reeved units. Chain containers can
be furnished for units already in use.
