Test Controlled Descent System.
Partial Hoist Brake Release may result in overheating and premature wear.
Raise suspended equipment 2 feet off the ground.
Use the Controlled Descent Lever to manually release the primary hoist brake.
For non-powered descent, pull the Controlled Descent Lever as far as it will go toward the
end of the motor.
The hoist should lower at about 35 feet per minute.
Do NOT use any equipment that has failed testing!
NOTE: Whenever using the non-powered controlled descent feature, the hoist’s E-stop MUST
be actuated and the power to the hoist disconnected prior to descending.
