3.0 Preoperational Procedures 3.1 Air Supply System Requirements NOTICE 3.1.1 Pressure and Flow - Verify that the air supply system has capacity to supply your air hoist with required pressure and flow. Otherwise the hoist may operate poorly or may fail to operate. See Section 3.2. CAUTION 3.1.2 Lubrication - The hoist requires lubrication for proper operation. The oil in the air supply is the primary source of lubrication to the hoist. Therefore, a dedicated air supply lubr

3.4.2 The filter servicing the hoist can also service other hoists and air consuming equipment. In this case, the air filter must be in sized for the total air consumption of the equipment it is servicing. CAUTION 3.5 Air Dryer - To prevent corrosion and hoist malfunction, employ an air dryer in the air supply system to ensure that dry air is supplied to the hoist. If there is moisture in the air supplied to the hoist, this moisture will cause corrosion on internal hoist components durin

3.10 Non-Stationary Application 3.10.1 For applications such as rental fleets or construction sites where the hoist is moved from place-to- place, a filter and lubricator are still required. Consult factory for recommended methods. 3.10.2 Connections and fittings must be kept clean and care taken to prevent dirt, debris and moisture from entering the hoist. 3.10.3 Recommended practice for removing the hoist from an installation: Run the hoist briefly with well lubricated air Disconnec

The operation of an overhead hoist involves more than activating the hoist’s controls. Per the ANSI/ASME B30 standards, the use of an overhead hoist is subject to certain hazards that cannot be mitigated by engineered features, but only by the exercise of intelligence, care, common sense, and experience in anticipating the effects and results of activating the hoist’s controls. Use this guidance in conjunction with other warnings, cautions, and notices in this manual to govern the operat
