Trolley Suspended Models
•Be sure TROLLEY WHEELS are compatible with beam being used.
•Width between outside of TROLLEY WHEELS should be the width of beam flange + l/2”.
•If 43111 - 90’ ADAPTER is used, mount to hoist before attempting to install trolley.
•Width is varied by using SPACERS between the hoist body and the trolley SIDE PLATES.
•Insert an equal number of SPACERS on each inside of the trolley SIDE PLATES until beam flange + l/2” measurement is reached. SIDE PLATES must be vertical.
•Insert SHAFTS (43009) through hoist, or adapter if used, and trolley SIDE PLATES.
•Position trolley and hoist assembly on beam.
•Put an equal number of SPACERS on each end of SHAFTS (43009) with lock washer being last.
•Tighten nuts on SHAFTS (43009). SHAFTS should extend all the way through the NUTS.
•Move trolley over entire length of beam. If it appears the trolley SIDE PLATES can be moved closer together and freedom of movement will be maintained, remove an equal number of SPACERS from inside the SIDE PLATES and assemble these SPACERS to the outside of the SIDE PLATES.
•Tighten NUTS to
•Connect sufficient length of air hose to reach the maximum travel distance of trolley.
