CAUTION
To prevent equipment damage, DO NOT run the load into the ground and DO NOT use the upper
limit switch to stop upward motion.
Load Rotation
Wire rope will stretch and tighten when a load is lifted for the first time. This
stretching and tightening of the rope will cause the load to rotate slightly in one
direction. The non rotational qualities of the rope will stop this rotation and the
rope and load will seek a natural, balanced state. Load rotation may occur due to
air currents or the bulk and balance of the payload. A tag line may be attached to
the load to help steady and guide it but should never be used to pull the load out at
an angle away from the hoist.
NOTE:
If a tag line is used incorrectly, damage to the upper limit switch, up limit bar,
and wire rope will result.
