These general instructions deal with the normal installation, operation, and maintenance situations
encountered with the equipment described herein. The instructions should not be interpreted to
anticipate every possible contingency or to anticipate the final system, crane, or configuration that
uses this equipment.
This manual includes instructions and parts information for a variety of hoist types. Therefore, all
instructions and parts information may not apply to anyone type or size of specific hoist. Disregard
those portions of the instructions that do not apply.
Record hoist serial number on the front cover of this manual for identification and future reference
to avoid referring to the wrong manual for information or instructions on installation, operation,
inspection, maintenance, or parts.
Use only ACI authorized replacement parts in the service and maintenance of this hoist.
It is the responsibility of the owner/user to install, inspect, test, maintain, and operate a hoist in
accordance with ASME B30.16, Safety Standard for Overhead Hoists, OSHA Regulations, and
ANSIINFPA 70, National Electrical Code. If the hoist is installed as part of a total lifting system, such
as an overhead crane or monorail, it is also the responsibility of the owner/user to comply with the
applicable ASME B30 volume that addresses that type of equipment used in the system.
Further, It is the responsibility of the owner/user to have all personnel that will install, inspect, test,
maintain, and operate a hoist read the contents of this manual and applicable portions of ASME
B30.16, Safety Standard for Overhead Hoists, OSHA Regulations, and ANSIINFPA 70, National
Electrical Code. If the hoist is installed as part of a total lifting system, such as an overhead crane,
the applicable ASME B30 volume that addresses that type of equipment must also be read by all
personnel. Any ANSI Standards referenced in this manual may be obtained from the American
National Standards Institute, 1430 Broadway, New York, New York 10018.
This manual contains information for safe operation of an overhead hoist. Taking precedence over any
specific rule, however, is the most important rule of all "USE COMMON SENSE." Operation of an
overhead hoist involves more than operating the controls. The operator must consider and anticipate the
motions and actions that will occur as a result of operating the controls.
