APPLICATION INFORMATION
This hoist is intended for general industrial use for lifting and transporting freely suspended material loads within its rated capacity. MILWAUKEE cannot be responsible for applications other than those for which MILWAUKEE equipment is recommended. Prior to installation and operation, we caution the user to review his application for abnormal environmental or handling conditions and to observe the applicable recommendations as follows:
ADVERSE ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
Do not use the hoist in areas containing flammable vapors, liquids, gases or any combustible dusts or fibers. Refer to Article 500 of the National Electrical Code. Do not use this hoist in highly corrosive, abrasive or wet environments. Do not use this hoist in applications involving extended exposure to ambient temperatures below
LIFTING OF HAZARDOUS LOADS
This hoist is not recommended for use in lifting or transporting hazardous loads or materials which could cause widespread damage if dropped. The lifting of loads which could explode or create chemical or radioactive contamination if dropped requires
LIFTING OF GUIDED LOADS
This hoist is not recommended for use in the lifting of guided loads, including dumbwaiters and elevators. Such applications require additional protective devices which are not incorporated into this hoist. For such applications, refer to the requirements of applicable state and local codes, and the American National Safety Code for elevators, dumbwaiters, escalators and moving walks (ASME A17.1).
Always disconnect the power source before working on or near a hoist or its connected load. If the power disconnect point is out of sight, lock it in the open position and tag to prevent unexpected application of power.
4.Protect the power cable and control cable from coming in contact with sharp objects.
5.Do not kink power cable and control cable and never allow the cable to come in contact with oil, grease, hot surfaces, or chemicals.
6.Make certain that the power source conforms to the requirements of your equipment.
7.Inspect the unit daily before operating hoist.
8.Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.
9.The operator should not engage in any practice which will divert his attention while operating the hoist.
10.Before using the hoist, the operator should be certain that all personnel are clear.
11.Do not operate hoist with loads exceeding its rated capacity.
12.Supporting frames or beams used as a hoist hanger must have a greater load capacity than the hoist.
13.Do not attempt to operate hoist beyond normal maximum lift range.
14.Align hoist for a straight line pull. Avoid side pull or end pull.
15.Do not operate hoist with twisted or damaged chain.
16.Do not operate a damaged or malfunctioning hoist until necessary adjustments or repairs have been made.
17.Do not use hoist to lift people or to carry loads over people.
18.Do not leave a load suspended in the air unattended.
19.Always remove load before making repairs.
20.Do not remove or obscure capacity or warning decals.
Failure to comply with Safety Precautions outlined throughout this manual can result in serious injuries or death. Before using this hoist, each operator should become thoroughly familiar with all warnings, instructions and recommendations in this manual.
SAFETY INFORMATION
1.Follow all local electrical and safety codes, as well as the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) in the United States.
2.Hoist must be securely and adequately grounded. The hoist power cable is provided with an additional lead (green) for grounding purposes.
3.Be careful when touching the exterior of an operating motor; it may be hot enough to be painful or cause injury. With modern motors this condition is normal if operated at rated load and voltage (modern motors are built to operate at higher temperatures).
INSTALLATION
1.Before installing the hoist, check the following:
a.Make sure all supporting structures and attaching devices are strong enough to hold your intended loads. If in doubt, consult a qualified structural engineer.
b.Provide proper branch circuit protection for the hoist as recommended in the National Electrical Code.
c.The power supply should be within plus or minus 10% of the voltage specified on the motor nameplate. It is critical to use adequate sized power cables, especially with
d.Installation area must provide operating conditions for the operator including sufficient room for the operator and other personnel to stand clear of the load at all times.
e.For installations where the slack chain hanging from the unit may be objectionable or hazardous, the use of a chain container is recommended. See INSTALLATION OF CHAIN CONTAINER ASSEMBLY.
