Figure 11. Eye Bolts Locations
WARNING!
Before proceeding with the normal operation of the hoist, the operator(s) must be trained in
accordance with the hoist manufacturer's operation manual. Failure to read and comply with
any of the instructions and limitations noted in this manual and the hoist manufacturer's
manual can result in product failure, serious bodily injury or death, and/or property damage.
Follow the initial start-up procedures for the hoist as described in the manufacturer's operation manual.
Do not attempt operation until all start-up procedures have been fulfilled.
The load attachment may differ from the following figure depending on the type of chain hoist used. The
following is a depiction to illustrate a possible scenario.
WARNING!
Keep hoist lines plumb. The working load limits of hoisting equipment apply only to freely
suspended loads on plumb hoist lines. If the hoist line is not plumb during load handling, side
loads are created which can destabilize the load and cause structural failure or tip-over, with
little warning.
3.
Connect the hoist to the eye bolts on the cabinet. Make sure the load is secured before making
any attempt to move it. The recommended diagonal length of the sling is 2 to 2.5 m (6.56 to 8.2
ft.).
4.
Follow the hoist manufacturer's guidelines on moving the load as described in the
manufacturer's operation manual.
WARNING!
Check on Sling Angle. Ensure that the sling angle is always greater than 45º and preferably
greater than 60º. When the horizontal distance between the attachment points on the load is
less than the length of the shortest sling leg, then the angle is greater than 60º and generally
safe.
