Step 2 – Install the
Ground Socket
2.1 Dig a hole 250mm (10") diameter by
approximately 650mm (26") deep (Fig. 2).
2.2 Place approximately 200mm (8") of coarse
gravel into the hole.
2.3 Insert the main standard into the ground
socket. Engage the locking collar and lock
into position.
Make sure the tabs are closed to prevent
concrete entering the locking recess.
2.4 Place the ground socket and main
standard into the hole.
Push the base of the ground socket into
the gravel.
Check level vertically.
The top of the ground socket must sit
approximately 6-12mm (1/4"-1/2") above
ground level.
2.5 Support the main standard and concrete
into position.
Concrete should be damp enough
to ‘hold together’ when squeezed
in your hand.
Settle concrete by pushing a thin stick into
the mix several times.
Leave the main standard in the
ground socket until the concrete
has set.
Keep concrete out of the locking
recess in the ground socket.
2.6 Allow 24 hours for the concrete to set
before final assembly and use of your
Rotary Hoist.

Step 3 – Assemble the Hoist
3.1 Place the main standard in the ground
socket.
3.2 Place the bottom of the head assembly into
the top of the main standard and lower it
gently until it stops (Fig. 3).
3.3 To engage, raise the head assembly by
approximately 100mm (4") and lower until
a ‘click’ is heard.
3.4 Check the head assembly is locked in
position by lifting upwards (it should not
move). If the head assembly is not engaged,
repeat Step 3.3.
Note: There is a small amount of rotational
movement between the wind brake and the
lower cross latch. This is normal.
Note: Once the head is engaged into the
main standard it cannot be removed.
