Installing Wire Rope

WARNING
Keep fingers away from drum when hoist is operating.
WARNING
No wire rope or wire rope sling should ever be installed or used without full knowledge,
consideration, and application of the design factor for the intended use. Failure to comply may
result in equipment damage, bodily injury, or possible death.
WARNING
Always replace wire rope with the same diameter and strength specifications of the original wire
rope supplied with the hoist. Never replace wire rope with any different specifications without first
contacting and consulting the dealer or Beta Max, Inc. If wire rope specifications are not known,
contact Beta Max, Inc. with the proper model and serial number to verify correct wire rope
specifications for the intended application and model.

Preliminary Information

Before installing wire rope, ensure the portable hoist is securely mounted in
position and level and the power is disconnected. Be sure to install the correctly
specified rope diameter and length for the hoist model being used (see Table 4.1
for specifications).
When uncoiling new wire rope, always roll the coil like a hoop. Never lay the coil
of wire rope down and throw it out in loops. If this happens, kinks are likely to
form and the wire rope becomes twisted and hard to handle and can lead to
possible damage and premature failure.
