SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Read owner's manual completely before operating unit!
• Never exceed the maximum load capacity printed on the
top beam. The capacity includes the weight of hoist and
trolley.
• Check for damage and be sure all hardware is tight before
each use.
• Never move or load the gantry unless both height
adjustment pins are fully inserted.
• Lock all wheels perpendicular to each other before loading.
• Stand clear of hanging loads.
• Never cantilever loads off of one end of the gantry.
• When moving a load, be sure the load center is as low to
the ground as possible. If not lowered, tipping can occur.
• Never attempt to adjust the gantry beam height while a
load is attached.
• When moving is not required, always lock the casters
perpendicular to each other.
• Keep clear of electrical wires and all electrical
equipment.
