excessive wear.
Check the carry bar rotates and swings freely, and that there is no
build-up of wear.
Ensure the spring clips on the carry bar are functional and present.
Inspect the lift tape for any signs of damage such as fraying, breaking,
and tearing along its entire length. Ensure to also inspect the stitching
on the tape for the same signs of damage.
QRS (Quick Releas……………………..e
Hook)

7 . 1 Lift Tape Caution
The image (Figure 9-1-1) indicates a badly worn lift tape. The ceiling hoist should not be
used until the lift tape has been replaced. Please contact your local dealer to arrange a
service.
It is important to note that an incorrect alignment of the lift tape with the hoist
could lead to tape fraying, causing delays in the hoist operation and additional
expenses. For a smooth and safe operation, please ensure the lift tape is
vertically in line with the hoist, when lowering or raising the carry bar.
