Also, make sure that the selected location is in a well lighted environment, the control switch will be within reach, and that the hoist will not be exposed to rain or moisture.
To mount your electric hoist:
1. Place the two mounting brackets over |
a suitable fixture that will withstand |
the maximum load capacities and any |
possible overloading that may occur. |
2. Have an assistant hold the hoist |
in place, and thread the hex |
