Setup
The Model H0778/H0779 electric hoist comes
Figure 3. Hoist mounted on a rotating
pillar.
Make sure that the selected location is in a well lit environment, the control switch will be able to be reached, and that the cord, plug, and hoist will not be exposed to rain or moisture.
To mount your electric hoist:
1.Place the two mounting brackets over a suitable pipe that will withstand the maximum load capacities and any pos- sible overloading that may occur.
2.Have an assistant hold the hoist in place while the hex bolts, external tooth washers, and flat washers are threaded through each of the mounting brackets and into the top of the electric hoist, as shown in Figure 4.
Note: We strongly recommend using a medium strength thread locking com- pound on the hex bolts to firmly secure the hoist.

3.Firmly tighten the hex bolts and check to make sure the hoist does not swing or move on the pipe.
Mounting and Loading Hardware
When attaching hardware to the electric hoist:
•DO NOT attach multiple chains or har- nesses directly to the hook. Only one point of contact should be used on the hook and shackle to lessen the chance of the load falling and to allow proper load alignment (Figure 5).
•DO NOT attach oversized items or har- nesses directly to the hoist. Oversized loading hardware creates multiple points of contact and will not fit prop- erly with the electric hoist's hardware. Uneven and dangerous loads may result.
