INSTALLATION
UNPACKING INFORMATION
When received, the hoist should be carefully inspected for damage
that may have occurred during shipment or handling. Check the hoist
frame for dents or cracks, the remote control for cut or damaged
enclosure, and inspect the load chain for nicks and gouges.
INSTALLING BATTERIES
CAUTION
Ensure battery door on the hoist is latched and
the remote battery chamber cover is securely
fastened to maintain proper ingress protection.
INSTALLING REMOTE CONTROL BATTERIES
Figure 1. Installing Remote Control Batteries
1. Insert AA 1.5 V batteries into the battery chamber (1) of the
Remote Control following battery diagram for proper polarity.
2. Replace battery chamber cover and tighten the retaining screw.
INSTALLING HOIST BATTERY
For optimum performance it is recommended to use a
MILWAUKEE M18, 12.0 Ah battery.
1. Insert a MILWAUKEE M18 Battery into the hoist.
– Hoist is ready to connect with the Remote Control.
CHECKING LIMIT SWITCH OPERATION
Operate hoist over the entire length of its rated lift, checking upper
and lower limit switches for correct operation as follows:
1. Switch on the remote control, see "Remote Control", page 8.
2. Press Directional Button UP in Remote Control and cautiously
raise the hook until the upper limit switch stops the upward
motion.
3. Press Directional Button DOWN in Remote Control and
cautiously lower hook until lower limit switch stops the downward
motion.

If the hook block or load comes in contact
with the chain container/bag, the chain
container/bag assembly may be damaged.
TO AVOID INJURY:
Make sure the chain bag is no more than
75% filled when the hook is at the upper limit.
INITIAL CHAIN OILING
The load chain must be thoroughly oiled before
use. Failure to do so can result in accelerated
wear and possible damage to the hoist.
The load chain must be lubricated with appropriate oil (see "Hoist
Lubrication", page 16) prior to use. Ensure oil reaches all areas of
the chain, including the interlink area.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL
1. The load limiter is designed to slip on an excessive overload. An
overload is indicated when the hoist will not raise the load. Also,
a clutching noise may be heard if the hoist is loaded beyond
rated capacity. Should this occur, immediately release the (UP)
control to stop the operation of the hoist. At this point, the load
should be reduced to the rated hoist capacity, or the hoist should
be replaced with one of the proper capacity. When the excessive
load is removed, normal hoist operation is automatically restored.
The load limiter is susceptible to overheating
and wear when slipped for extended periods.
Under no circumstance should the clutch be
allowed to slip for more than a few seconds.
It is not recommended for use in any application where there is a
possibility of adding to an already suspended load to the point of
overload. This includes containers that are loaded in mid-air, etc.
(*) Refer to limitations see "Safety precautions", page 3.
2. All hoists are equipped with limit switches, which automatically
stop the hook at travel limits of the chain.
3. If material being handled must be immersed in water, pickling
baths, any liquid, or dusty or loose solids, use a sling chain
of ample length so that the hook is always above the surface.
Bearings in the hook block are shielded only against ordinary
atmospheric conditions.
HOIST
1. Before picking up a load, check to see that the hoist is directly
over the load.
Load must be placed directly under the hoist or trolley.
Avoid off-center loading of any kind.
2. Take up the slack in the load chain prior to lifting to avoid jerking
the load. If there is any evidence of overloading, immediately
lower the load and assess.
3. DO NOT allow the load to swing, or twist while hoisting.
4. DO NOT allow the load to bear against the hook latch.
