3. Installation
Introduction
The bucket elevator jib is designed to assist in the lifting and lowering of large replacement components,
such as motors, to and from the top of the bucket elevator. The elevator platform itself is not intended
to support the weight of the replacement components handled by the jib. The weight of the
components must be supported by the jib through final installation. The jib will be provided by GSI while
the cable, winch will be supplied by the customer. The jib can swivel 360° and can be parked in position
by the user with the pin when not in use. Do not use the pin while under load. The winch should be
permanently installed on the jib, winching from the ground is not advised. The jib is for vertical
lifting only.

All lifting components such as the winch, pulley and cable used with the hoist must have a load rating equal
to or greater than the load rating of the jib. Winch should be permanently installed on the jib. Winching
from the ground is not advised. The jib is for vertical lifting only.
