d)Depress push button marked “LEFT” to traverse in the opposite direction.

CAUTION

Excessive “jogging” will cause premature burning of contact tips, motor overheating, and premature brake wear.

e)On two-speed hoist or trolley motions, partial depression of a button operates hoist or trolley at slow speed; depressing button completely operates hoist or trolley at full speed.
