SETTING LOWER LIMIT SWITCH
5. Refer to Table 6-The “B” dimensions given are the
minimum number of load chain links that should be
set between the loose end link and the hoist frame on
the loose end side of the chain. In other words, the
lowest allowable hook position.
CAUTION: THE “B” DIMENSIONS SHOWN
IN THE TABLE ARE THE MINIMUM
ALLOWED FOR SAFE OPERATION AND
SHOULD NOT BE REDUCED.
6. Reconnect hoist to power supply.
7. Run the hook to the desired lower position, cautiously
operating the hoist without a load.
8. Disconnect hoist from power supply.
9. Moving one traveling nut toward the other increases
hook travel and away from the other decreases the
travel. Now, turn the nut nearest the switch indicated
as the “LOWER LIMIT SWITCH” until it just breaks the
limit switch contacts. An audible click will be heard as
the switch opens. Continue to rotate the nut toward
the switch an additional one full tooth.
10.Reposition the guide plate in the next slot and
securely tighten screws.
11.Reconnect hoist to power supply, and check the stop-
ping point of the hook by first raising the hook about
10 inches, then lower the hook by jogging cautiously
until the lower limit switch stops the doward motion.
The stopping point of hook should be the desired
lower position. If not, repeat the above instructions.
12.Double check setting by raising the hook about 24
inches (609.6 mm) and the run the hook into the lower
limit with the  (DOWN) control held depressed.
13.Fine adjustment of the lower limit setting may be
obtained by inverting the guide plate in Step 10. The
offset on the plate gives adjustments equivalent to 1/2
notch, see Table 6 for the “Hook Travel Per Notch of
Limit Switch Nut”. When inverting the plate, it may be
necessary to use the notch adjacent to the one used
in the preliminary setting.
