This electric hoist shall not carry people in any way or be used as an elevator lifting tool.
The operator should not operate the electric hoist under the condition of drinking, taking medicine, or being ill.
Do not modify or weld the parts of the electric hoist at will.
When lifting the hoist, ensure that at least 3 coils of wire rope are retained on the rope barrel to prevent the wire rope from falling off the rope barrel due to excessive stress.

Wire Winding Guidance

Before starting work, make sure that the steel cable is correctly wound around the reel and the pitch is equal to the cable diameter.

Diagram Description: Three examples of wire rope winding on a drum are shown. The first two are labeled "NO" indicating incorrect winding (e.g., loose or crossed strands). The third is labeled "OK" indicating correct winding (neatly layered).

The warnings, precautions, and instructions in this manual cannot cover all possible conditions and situations. Common sense and caution are factors that must be supplied by the operator.

C. Screw/gasket/gasket rings (x4)
D. Sling 4 meter (x1)
E. Sling 1 meter with ring (x1)
F. Hook (x1) - used in double line mode

Installation Instructions

Install the electric hoist (A) on the beam using fixing rings (B) and screw/gasket/gasket rings (C). Pay attention to screw tightening.

Note: The installation position must be strong enough to support the load of the electric hoist during operation.

Diagram Description: An electric hoist is shown mounted on a horizontal beam. Fixing rings are attached to the beam, and screws pass through the rings and into the hoist's mounting points.

The hoist can be installed in single line mode or double line mode as required. More load is available in double line mode, which requires replacing the hook with a new one from the accessory pack (F).

Diagram Description: Two configurations are shown. 'Single line mode' depicts the hoist lifting a load with a single rope and hook, labeled "kg. X". 'Double line mode' shows the hoist lifting a load with two ropes and a hook, labeled "kg. 2X", indicating double the load capacity.

Be sure to tear off the tape wrapped around the rope drum before the machine is tested. Testing the machine in a hurry may cause the wire rope to rewind incorrectly and damage the limit frame.

⚠️ Warning: Gloves, safety helmet, and steel-toed work boots should be worn during installation and use.

Troubleshooting

Electric hoists may experience various failures after long-term use or improper operation. Refer to the following table for common failure causes and elimination methods.

Common Failure	Cause Analysis	Handling Suggestion
1. Press the remote control button to switch but the motor does not turn.	1. The power supply is disconnected. 2. The cable connection position is broken or loose. 3. The switch is faulty. 4. Capacitor damage. 5. If the rise button fails, the limit frame may not be reset or the switch is out of order. 6. The emergency stop switch is not reset.	1. Turn on the power. 2. Check the cable connection and repair it. 3. Repair or replace the switch. 4. Replace a Capacitor. 5. Check the limit frame or the travel switch. 6. Reset the emergency stop switch.
2. After pressing the remote control button to switch, the motor is noisy and cannot start normally.	1. The power supply voltage is too low. 2. Capacitor damage. 3. The remote control switch is in poor contact.	1. Adjust the power supply voltage. 2. Replace the capacitor. 3. Repair or replace the switch.

Inspection Procedures

Frequent Inspection

Perform the procedures in this section BEFORE INITIAL USE and AT LEAST MONTHLY. Inspection is needed more often for heavily used hoists.

Check operating mechanisms for proper operation, adjustment, and unusual sounds (e.g., binding noise of the wire rope, bearing squeal).
Check the hoist upper limit device without a load on the hook at the beginning of each shift. Exercise care. Run the load block into its limit device at slow speed.
Frequent Braking System Inspection:
- a. The braking system must automatically stop and hold up to the rated load if the operating controls are released and in the event of complete power failure.
- b. Braking systems must limit the speed of load during lowering, with or without power, to prevent uncontrolled or rapid lowering.
Frequent Hook Inspection: Check hooks for the following problems:
- a. Distortion (e.g., bending, twisting, increased throat opening).
- b. Wear.
- c. Cracks, nicks, or gouges.
- d. Latch engagement (if equipped).
- e. Damaged or malfunctioning latch (if equipped).
- f. Hook attachment and securing means.
Frequent Hoist Rope Inspection: All ropes should be visually inspected by the operator or other designated person at the start of each shift.
Check wire rope reeving.

⚠️ WARNING! TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM HOIST FAILURE: Do not use damaged equipment. If any defect or damage is noted, have the problem corrected before further use.
