3.0 Preoperational Procedures
3.1 Air Supply System Requirements
3.1.1
NOTICE
Pressure and Flow –Verify that the air supply system has capacity to supply your
air hoist with required pressure and flow. Otherwise the hoist may operate poorly or may fail to
operate. See Section 3.2.
3.1.2
!CAUTION
Lubrication –The hoist requires lubrication for proper operation. The oil in the air
supply is the primary source of lubrication to the hoist. Therefore, a dedicated air supply lubricator must
be used with the hoist. Refer to Section 3.3.
3.1.3
!CAUTION
Air Quality –Good air quality is essential to prevent damage to your hoist and to
ensure its proper operation. The air must be clean and free of debris such as dirt and rust. Refer to
Section 3.4 for filtration requirements. The air must also be dry; free of moisture and water. Refer to
Section 3.5.
3.2 Air Supply Capacity And Regulation
3.2.1 Capacity –The air supply system must be capable of delivering the required airflow (cfm) to the hoist
inlet port. Without the required airflow the hoist will not operate properly or may not operate at all. See
Section 2.0 for your hoists air consumption requirements. In determining if your system is capable of
supplying the required airflow, consider the following:
◼Capacity of compressor(s) and tank
◼Other air consuming equipment
◼Flow restrictions such as pipes, hoses, valves and fittings
Inadequate capacity will cause a significant drop in pressure when the hoist is operated, and could
cause poor performance or failure to operate.
3.2.2 Regulation –The hoist requires a constant supply of air at a pressure of between 60 and 90 psi. If the
air supply is not regulated or is regulated at a pressure greater than 90psi, then a regulator must be
used. The regulator may be located anywhere upline of the lubricator in the air supply to the hoist.
3.3 Lubrication
3.3.1
!CAUTION
The hoist must be supplied with its own lubricator. The lubricator must be located
as follows:
1) Best location –At the hoist inlet. In this case the lubricator can be either the mist type or drop
type.
2) Second best location –No more than 15 feet away from the hoist, at the same elevation or above
the hoist inlet. In this case the mist type lubricator must be used.
3) Third best location –No more than 15 feet away below the hoist. In this case the mist type
lubricator must be used.
3.3.2
!CAUTION
The lubricator must be set to deliver the equivalent of 10 to 15 drops of oil per
minute (0.2-0.3 cc/minute). The hoist’s exhaust will emit a fine oil mist when properly lubricated.

13
3.4 Filtration
3.4.1
!CAUTION
The air entering the hoist inlet must not contain any particulate greater than 5
microns in size. Therefore, the hoist must have a 5 micron filter in its air supply. The filter must be
upstream of the lubricator.
3.4.2 The filter servicing the hoist can also service other hoists and air consuming equipment. In this case,
the air filter must be sized for the total air consumption of the equipment it is servicing.
3.5 Air Dryer
3.5.1
!CAUTION
To prevent corrosion and hoist malfunction, employ an air dryer in the air supply
system to ensure that dry air is supplied to the hoist. If there is moisture in the air supplied to the hoist,
this moisture will cause corrosion on internal hoist components during periods when the hoist is idle
leading to hoist malfunction.
3.6 Piping, Hoses And Fittings
3.6.1
!CAUTION
System Configuration –The system should be configured as shown in Figure 3-1.
Since moisture tends to accumulate in compressed air systems, corrosion may result if the system is
not periodically drained.
◼Arrange for a drain in the air supply piping at the lowest point in the piping.
◼Periodically drain the system to remove moisture/water from the system and to prevent corrosion.
◼Filter, regulator (if equipped), and lubricator must be arranged in the order shown in Figure 3-2.
Figure 3-1 Diagram of Air Supply Configuration (Typical)

14
Figure 3-2 Typical Air Supply Filter, Regulator and Lubricator.
3.6.2
NOTICE
Piping –Pipe should be sized to accommodate the hoist airflow requirements.
Table 3-1 gives recommended pipe sizes.

Inside diameter
0.75 inch or larger
3.6.3
NOTICE
Hoses –The connection from the air supply system piping to the hoist must be
made with a flexible pressure hose. Due to normal line losses in air supply lines:
◼Do not use hose smaller than specified in Table 3-1, and
◼Limit the length of the hose to that specified in Figure 3-3.
◼If your application exceeds these requirements consult factory.
◼The use of “Quick Couplers” is to be avoided. Quick Couplers restrict the air flow that will affect
hoist performance.

15
Figure 3-3 Typical Arrangements of Filter, Regulator and Lubricator and
Maximum Air Supply Hose Lengths
3.6.4
!CAUTION
Fittings –Important considerations regarding fittings in the hoist's air supply
include:
◼When connecting air supply components, remove all dirt or debris from the connecting surfaces of
the hoses, pipes, fittings, or threaded fasteners to prevent contaminants from entering the hoist.
◼Keep airflow restrictions such as quick disconnect fittings, bends, elbows, and adapters to a
minimum.
3.6.5
!CAUTION
Before connecting the hoist to its air supply line; perform the proper draining and
purging procedures to prevent contaminants or moisture from entering the hoist.
3.7 Exhaust Control
3.7.1 Some hoist applications require the hoist exhaust to be expelled outside the immediate environment.
To accommodate this need it is possible to extend the hoist exhaust to another area. Figure 3-4
describes the method to extend the hoist exhaust.

16
3.8 Mounting Location
3.8.1
!WARNING
Prior to mounting the hoist ensure that the suspension and its supporting
structure are adequate to support the hoist and its loads. If necessary consult a professional that is
qualified to evaluate the adequacy of the suspension location and its supporting structure.
3.8.1 For applications requiring a “Secondary Support” a support attachment location has been provided in
the hoist Top Hook Yoke/Hoist Body. Reference Figure 3-5.
