Model D4070/D4077 Electric Hoist

Mounting

The Model D4070/D4077 electric hoist comes pre-assembled and only needs to be mounted to prepare for operation.

There are many mounting options for your hoist. It may be mounted on a metal tubing or on a rotating pillar (Figure 3). Above all, choose a mounting option that is safe and will withstand the maximum rated load of the hoist.

Lifting Equipment

When attaching lifting equipment to the electric hoist:

pillar.

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

bolts, external tooth washers, and

flat washers through each of the

mounting brackets and into the top of

the electric hoist (see Figure 4).

Note: We strongly recommend using

medium strength thread locking

compound on the hex bolts when

DO NOT attach multiple chains or harnesses 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. Use a multiple chain sling similar to the one shown in Figure 5.

• DO NOT attach oversized items or harnesses directly to the hoist. Oversized lifting equipment creates multiple points of contact and will not fit properly on the hoist hook, resulting in uneven and dangerous

securing the hoist.
