ASSEMBLY AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS  
Read carefully and understand all ASSEMBLY AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS before  
operating. Failure to follow the safety rules and other basic safety precautions may result in  
serious personal injury.  
 
ELECTRICAL SAFETY  
4. Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and  
grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. Never remove the  
grounding prong or modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter  
plugs. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether  
the outlet is properly grounded. If the tools should electrically malfunction or  
break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away  
from the user.  
5. Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is  
wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If  
the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,  
contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not change  
the plug in any way. Double insulation  
eliminates the need for the three wire  
grounded power cord and grounded power supply system.  
6. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators,  
ranges, and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your  
body is grounded.  
7. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power  
tool will increase the risk of electric shock.  
8. Do not abuse the Power Cord. Never use the Power Cord to carry the tools  
or pull the Plug from an outlet. Keep the Power Cord away from heat, oil,  
sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged Power Cords immediately.  
Damaged Power Cords increase the risk of electric shock.  
9. When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord  
marked “W-A” or “W”. These extension cords are rated for outdoor use, and  
reduce the risk of electric shock.  
PERSONAL SAFETY  
10. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, and use common sense when  
operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while tired or under the  
influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while  
operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.  
11. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair.  
Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes,  
jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.  
PAGE 3  
 
12. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the Power Switch is off before plugging  
in. Carrying power tools with your finger on the Power Switch, or plugging in  
power tools with the Power Switch on, invites accidents.  
13. Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the power tool on. A  
wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result  
in personal injury.  
14. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper  
footing and balance enables better control of the power tool in unexpected  
situations.  
15. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid  
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate  
conditions.  
PERSONAL SAFETY  
16. Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct  
tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.  
17. Do not use the power tool if the Power Switch does not turn it on or off.  
Any tool that cannot be controlled with the Power Switch is dangerous and must  
be replaced.  
18. Disconnect the Power Cord Plug from the power source before making any  
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive  
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.  
19. Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools  
are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.  
20. Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly  
maintained tools with a sharp cutting edge are less likely to bind and are easier  
to control. Do not use a damaged tool. Tag damaged tools “Do not use” until  
repaired.  
21. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and  
any other condition that may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, have  
the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly  
maintained tools.  
PAGE 4  
 
22. Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your  
model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may become hazardous  
when used on another tool.  
SERVICE  
23. Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service  
or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of  
injury.  
24. When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow  
instructions in the “Inspection, Maintenance, And Cleaning” section of this  
manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow maintenance instructions  
may create a risk of electric shock or injury.  
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES  
1. Maintain labels and nameplates on the Hoist. These carry important  
information. If unreadable or missing, contact the distributor, Northern Tool +  
Equipment for a replacement.  
2. Always wear safety impact eye goggles and heavy work gloves when using  
the Hoist. Using personal safety devices reduce the risk for injury. Safety impact  
eye goggles and heavy work gloves are available from Northern Tool +  
Equipment.  
3. Maintain a safe working environment. Keep the work area well lit. Make sure  
there is adequate surrounding workspace. Always keep the work area free of  
obstructions, grease, oil, trash, and other debris. Do not use a power tool in  
areas near flammable chemicals, dusts, and vapors. Do not use this product in a  
damp or wet location.  
4. Always maintain a firm grip on the tool.  
5. Always keep the extension cord away from moving parts on the tool.  
6. Avoid unintentional starting. Make sure you are prepared to begin work before  
turning on the Hoist.  
7. Do not force the Hoist. This tool will do the work better and safer at the speed  
and capacity for which it was designed.  
8. Never use the Hoist to lift people or animals.  
9. Always leave a minimum of 4 wraps of cable on the drum. The cable  
fastener on this wire rope Hoist is not rated for the maximum capacity of the  
Hoist.  
PAGE 5  
 
Additional Specific Safety Rules  
10. Do not exceed the maximum lift capacity. The application, size and type of  
load, the attachments to be used and the period of use must be taken into  
account.  
11. Do not stand under hoisted loads.  
12. Do not operated the Hoist in wet conditions. Do not allow the Hoist to  
freeze.  
13. If pushing the lift button continually does not have any affect, do not  
continue. This is a sign that the load exceeds the maximum capacity.  
14. Never adjust the cable or work on the Hoist when it is plugged into an  
outlet.  
15. Always inspect the cable and hook prior to use. If he cable is damaged in  
any way, do not use it. Hooks that are bent, worn or whose openings are  
enlarged beyond normal throat opening should not be used.  
16. If the Hoist is stopped during the lowering of a load it is normal for the load  
to drop a few inches more due to intertia.  
17. The Hoist motor does not have an overload cut-out. If you are unable to hoist  
a load and the load is under the maximum lift capacity, stop the Hoist and allow  
the motor to cool down before trying again.  
18. Make sure the cable is correctly wound around the wheel. See FIGURE 1  
below.  
19. Do not support a load over or around people or animals.  
20. Do not leave load suspended in the air unattended.  
21. Do not allow a load to bear against the hook latch. Allowing a load to bear  
against the hook latch can result in loss of load.  
22. Do not allow load to swing or twist while hoisting.  
23. Do not use cable as a sling or wrap cable around a load.

WARNING!  
People with pacemakers should consult their physician(s) before using this product.  
Operation of electrical equipment in close proximity to a heart pacemaker could cause  
interference or failure of the pacemaker.  
GROUNDING  
WARNING!  
Improperly connecting the grounding wire can result in the risk of electric  
shock. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the  
outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the power cord plug provided with  
the tool. Never remove the grounding prong from the plug. Do not use the  
tool if the power cord or plug is damaged. If damaged, have it repaired by a  
service facility before use. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have a proper  
outlet installed by a qualified electrician.  
GROUNDED TOOLS: TOOLS WITH 3- PRONG PLUGS  
1.  
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.)  
2.  
3.  
The grounding prong in the plug is connected through the green wire inside the  
cord to the grounding system in the tool. The green wire in the cord must be the  
only wire connected to the tool’s grounding system and must never be attached  
to an electrically “live” terminal. (See Figure A.)  
Your tool must be plugged into an appropriate outlet, properly installed and  
grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. The plug and outlet  
should look like those in the following illustration. (See Figure A.)  
PAGE 7  
 
DOUBLE INSULATED TOOLS: TOOLS WITH TWO PRONG PLUGS  
4.  
5.  
Tools marked “Double Insulated” do not require grounding. They have a special  
double insulation system which satisfies OSHA requirements and complies with  
the applicable standards of Underwriters Laboratories, Inc., the Canadian  
Standard Association, and the National Electrical Code. (See Figure B.)  
Double insulated tools may be used in either of the 120 volt outlets shown in the  
following illustration. (See Figure B.)  
EXTENSION CORDS  
1.  
2.  
Grounded tools require a 3-wire extension cord. Double Insulated tools can  
use either a 2- or 3-wire extension cord.  
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.  
3.  
The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cord.  
For example, a 14- gauge cord can carry a higher current than a 16- gauge  
cord.  
4.  
5.  
When using more than one extension cord to make up the total length, make  
sure each cord contains at least the minimum wire size required.  
If you are using one extension cord for more than one tool, add the nameplate  
amperes and use the sum to determine the required minimum cord size.  
PAGE 8  
 
6.  
7.  
If you are using an extension cord outdoors, make sure it is marked with the  
suffix “W-A” (“W” in Canada) to indicate it is acceptable for outdoor use.  
Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition.  
Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified  
electrician before using it.  
8.  
Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat, and damp or  
wet areas.

ASSEMBLY AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS  
Hoist Set-up  
WARNING!  
Unplug the Hoist before set-up.  
1. This Hoist is designed to be attached to a beam or steel pipe and bed securely  
held in place by both of the Hangers (#23). See FIGURE 2.  
Note: The beam or steel pipe must be capable of carrying several times the weight of  
the Hoist and its designated maximum capacity. If in doubt, consult a registered  
engineer and building code.  
Note: Make sure the area underneath or around the Hoist is clear of obstructions. Do  
not Hoist loads over people or animals.  
2. After determining the location of the Hoist, make sure the beam or pipe is the  
proper size to fit inside of the Hangers (#23). Have a second person hold the top of  
the hoist flush against the beam or pipe. Line up the holes on each Hanger (#23) with  
the holes on the top of the Hoist. Thread in the two Screws (#21) and Washers (#20)  
per Hanger (#23) to secure the Hoist to the Beam or Steel Pipe. Check that it is  
secure. Before each use, check that the Hangers (#23) are securely fastened to the  
Hoist.  
3. Ideally, the Hoist needs to be set-up within a reachable distance to a 3- prong  
power outlet without the need of an extension cord. However, extension cords are  
safe and acceptable when properly used.

OPERATION (continued)  
Using the Hoist  
Refer to FIGURE  
WARNING!  
As illustrated in FIGURE 2, the Cable (#56) must flow through the  
cable Guard (#29), and the Stopper (#31) must be securely attached to the end of  
the Cable (#56).  
1. Plug in the unit and press the Switch (#43) toward the “down” position to lower  
the Hook (#34) to the load.  
2. When connecting the Hook (#34) to the load, you must be sure that the  
connection point on the load is capable of holding the weight of the entire load. If you  
are not sure, use a separate cable (not included) that is rated above maximum lift load  
capacity, to surround the unit and tie it off securely. Then, attach the load is completely  
inside of the hook and safety tab on the Hook (#34) and the load is centered under  
the hoist. The safety tab on the hook must latch or close over the connection point or  
cable or the load may fall causing serious damage and injury.  
3. Make sure no people or animals are near the immediate area. Never support a  
load over people or animals.  
4. Standing clear, push the Switch (#43) toward the “lift” position. Slowly raise the  
load only enough to clear the floor or support and check to be sure the load is securely  
fastened. Proceed only after you are ensured the load is secure and free of all  
obstructions. If the Hoist refuses to lift the load you might have exceeded maximum lift  
capacity. If you are under the maximum capacity and the Hoist stops on its own,  
release the lift switch and stay clear while the motor has sufficient time to cool down.  
Then, resume the process.  
5. When you are ready to lower the load, press the Switch (#43) toward the “down”  
position.  
6. When the load is completely on the ground, keeping clear of it, shake or move the  
load to make sure it is sitting firmly on the ground. Then, remove the Hook (#34) from  
the load.  
7. Push the Switch (#43) toward the “lift” position and bring the Stopper (#31) up to  
within a few inches of the Guard (#29).  
8. When finished, unplug the unit.  
INSPECTION, MAINTENANCE, AND CLEANING  
WARNING!  
Before each use, inspect the general condition of the hoist.  
Check for loose screws, misalignment or binding of moving parts, cracked or broken  
parts, damaged electrical wiring, and any other condition that may affect its safe  
operation. If abnormal noise or vibration occurs, have the problem corrected before  
Further use. Do not use damaged equipment.  
1. Wipe the Hoist down with a lint free cloth.  
2. Check the cable for tears, excessive wearing, damage or frays. If you find any,  
Do not use the Hoist until the cable is replaced by a qualified technician. Only use  
genuine replacement cable (Cable (#56)). Do not substitute rope or any other type of  
cable.  
3. Periodically lubricate the cable with a light oil.
