General Tips for Safe operation
Your 18890 electric hoist is rated at a 440 lb .
single line and 880 lb . double line capacity .
Overloads can damage the hoist, motor, wire
cable, and/or create a possible hazard for property
damage, injury or death .
For loads over 440 lb . (200 kg) the use of the
pulley hook to double the wire cable line must be
used . This will aid in two ways:
(a) reduce the number or cable layers on the
drum, as well as,
(b) reduce the load on the wire cable by as much
as 50% .
When doubling the line back to the hoist,
run the wire cable through the pulley hook and
attach to the support hook to the back side of the
hoist frame .
Get to know your hoist before you actually need to
use it . We recommend that you set up a few test
runs to familiarize yourself with rigging techniques,
the sounds your hoist makes under various loads,
the way the cable spools on the drum, etc .
Inspect the wire cable and equipment before each
use . A frayed or damaged cable shall be replaced
immediately . Use only manufacturer’s identical
replacement cable with the exact specifications .
Inspect the hoist installation and bolts to ensure
that all bolts are tight before each operation . Store
the hoist indoors and in a place that it will not be
damaged .
Any hoist that appears to be damaged in any way,
is found to be worn, or operates abnormally MUST
BE REMOVED FROM SERVICE UNTIL REPAIRED .
It is recommended that the necessary repairs
be made by a manufacturer’s authorized repair
facility .
Only attachments and/or adapters supplied by the
manufacturer are to be used .
Single Line operation
During single line operation, the max rated load
capacity is 440 lb . (200 kg) . Do not exceed
max rated load capacity . Single line loads can
be connected with the support hook that comes
already attached to the wire cable . The load can
be directly connected to the support hook using
a properly rated hoisting sling, chain or shackle .
Make sure the load is directly underneath hoist
and is not at an angle .
Double Line operation
If any load is heavier that 440 lb . (200 kg .), then
the double line technique must be used . During
double line operation the max rated load capacity
is 880 lb . (400 kg) . Do not exceed max rated
load capacity . During double line operation, the
pulley hook must be spooled onto the wire cable .
The support hook must be anchored on the back
side of the hoist in the designated support hole
built into the hoist frame . The hook must securely
fit into the support hole, and the safety clasp
must be able to fully close to lock the hook in
place .
Maintain at least 4 wraps (coils) of cable on
the drum during operation . Operating with
fewer than 4 warps of cable on the drum can
cause the cable to pull off the drum .
