Intended Use The Strongway 550-Lb. Single-Line/1100-Lb. Double-Line Capacity Electric Hoist is a rugged, efficient 120V electric hoist that makes lifting easy. The hoist is ideal for light weight jobs. For small jobs it will be the ultimate labor saving device. The hoist lifts up to 550 lb. with a single line or 1,100 lb. with a double line. Included is a 40 ft. x 0.17 in. diameter cable.
⚠WARNING WORK AREA SAFETY Inspect the work area before each use. Keep work area clean, dry, free of clutter, and well-lit. Cluttered, wet, or dark work areas can result in injury. Using the product in confined work areas may put you dangerously close to cutting tools and rotating parts. Do not use the hoist where there is a risk of causing a fire or an explosion; e.g., in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust.
before using. Disconnect the power/air supply from the product and place the switch in the locked or off position before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally. Store the hoist when it is not in use. Store it in a dry, secure place out of the reach of children. Inspect the tool for good working condition prior to storage and before re-use.
grounding instructions, or if you are not sure the tool is properly grounded. Grounded Tools: Tools with 3-Prong Plugs Tools marked with Grounding Required have a 3-wire cord and 3-prong grounding plug. The plug must be connected to a properly grounded outlet. If the tool should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user, reducing the risk of electric shock. (See Figure A.
As the distance from the supply outlet increases, you must use a heavier gauge extension cord. Using extension cords with inadequately sized wire causes a serious drop in voltage, resulting in loss of power and possible tool damage. The smaller the wire’s gauge number, the greater the capacity of the cord. For example, a 14gauge cord can carry a higher current than a 16-gauge cord.
The hoist may be mounted on a fixed overhead pipe or beam. 1. Place the two hanging clamps (reference 8) over the supporting structure where the hoist will be mounted. Have a person or two help hold the hoist in position under the hanging clamps so the hoist is aligned with the holes in the hanging clamps. 2 8 2. Tighten the screws (reference 2) when the hoist is at a suitable position. Before Each Use ⚠WARNING CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS.
1. Always inspect the wire cable for any wear, fraying, or damage. Only wire cable in good condition should be used. If the wire cable appears worn, frayed, or damaged, DO NOT connect any load to use, replace immediately. 2. Inspect the wire cable to make sure it is spooled correctly. The wire cable should not be overlapping on itself or have space between the rolls or slack in it.
The electric hoist is rated at a 550 lb. for a single line and 1100 lb. for a double line capacity. Single Line Operation During single line operation, the max rated load capacity is 550 lb. (250 kg). Do not exceed the max rated load capacity. Single line loads can be connected with the support hook that comes already attached to the wire cable. The load can be directly connected to the support hook (reference 73) using a properly rated hoisting sling, chain, or shackle.
2. Place the pulley hook (69) assembly (without the hook attached) onto the wire cable below the line blocker. Make sure the pulley hook roller is aligned on the wire cable (19) and is not in any way askew or oblongly seated on the wire. 19 69 3. Slide the bolt (71 & 72) back into the pulley (69), hook and all washers (80 & 81). Tighten the nuts (75 & 76). See the illustration above. Emergency Stop Switch If an emergency occurs, press the emergency stop switch (83) immediately.
Maintenance ⚠WARNING Any part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by a qualified technician. Lubricate the rope occasionally with light oil. Check that it is in good condition. Check to be sure the hoist is properly mounted. Make sure the bolts are tightened. Periodically check the condition of the electrical cords, plugs, and controls. Periodically make sure the hoist limit switches function properly.
