2. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION:
Every year, workers on suspended scaffolds are injured, become disabled, or are
killed because of carelessness or because they did not understand how to correctly
operate the equipment. DO NOT become one of them. Know how to use this
equipment and prevent accidents. NEVER operate equipment that you DO NOT
understand. You may cause accidents, resulting in injury or death to you or people
around you.
This instruction manual is not all inclusive. It is impossible to anticipate every possible way
this equipment may be used, and all possible hazardous situations. It is very important that
you determine for yourself whether the equipment is safe. You must understand the operating
characteristics of this hoist. You must understand how the hoist will operate in your application.
You must be certain not to put yourself or others in danger, or cause damage to property or other
persons. Call your hoist supplier if you have any questions concerning this equipment.
1. Read and understand this manual BEFOREBEFORE using this equipment.
2. Setup and use must comply with Spider®instructions and local codes.
3. Use the Troubleshooting Guide in this manual to solve problems that may develop with

Operating the Hoist
1. Be careful when operating the hoist in freezing temperatures. Water or moisture may enter the
hoist’s overspeed brake or traction assembly. See “Cautions for Cold Weather Operation” on
Page 27.
2. Be careful when operating the hoist in high winds. Consider stopping work or adding
stabilization at wind speeds of 40 kph (25 mph) or more when working on a 2-line
suspended platform. When working on a single line platform, stabilization should be used
in winds above 32 kph (20 mph). Avoid carrying large panels of material which can act
like a sail in high winds.
3. DO NOT remove any parts from the hoist without replacing them. DO NOT change
or substitute any approved hoist parts for parts that DO NOT meet manufacturer’s

2. Ensure platform is grounded to the structure.
3. Insulate wire rope 1.2 m (4 feet) above and below the platform.
4. Insulate wire rope at suspension point and ensure that the wire rope cannot come in
contact with the structure at any point along its entire length, including the tail line.
5. Cover the hoist and battery with an insulating material.
6. Avoid power lines. Make sure the platform or hand tools cannot swing or be blown
within a minimum of 3 m (10 feet) of a power line. Check your local codes for minimum
distances. Never, under any circumstances, rig a platform above electrical power lines.

2.1 General Hazard Warnings
CAUTION:
If the hoist is suspended in the air and the motor runs but the wire rope does not move
through the hoist, STOP the hoist immediately! Damaged wire rope may be jammed inside
the hoist. Any attempt to move the hoist up or down could damage equipment or cause
injury or death.

3.2 Battery Charging
CAUTION:
The battery charger is only suitable for the 48 VDC lithium-ion battery pack of the hoist and
must not be used for other purposes.
The battery must be charged indoors to protect charger reduce the risk of moisture/debris
getting into the charging port.
The battery must be turned off before connecting or disconnecting the charger or hoist to
reduce the chance of electrical arcing between connectors.
DO NOT charge the battery near high temperatures. The battery’s protection circuit may
activate if temperatures are too high and prevent charging.
1. Connect the battery charger to a 110V wall outlet. DO NOT connect the battery pack

2. If not already done, disconnect the battery from the hoist and bring to the charger
location.
3. Remove the charging plug from the battery and connect the cable from the charger to the
battery.
4. The top POWER light will display red when plugged into 110V source.
5. The bottom CHARGE light has two colors:
a. When RED, the light indicates that the battery is charging.
b. When GREEN, the light indicates that the battery is fully charged or disconnected.
6. Check the voltage meter on the battery pack to ensure battery is fully charged.
A completely charged battery will read 54V (or 100%) on the meter.
7. Remove the battery pack from the charger and reinstall the charging port plug.

4.2 Wire Rope Cautions
1. Wire rope stretches when loaded, which reduces the diameter. Wire rope begins to wear
the moment it is used. It must be regularly inspected to be sure it is in good condition.
Wire rope must be removed from service when diameter loss or wire breakage occurs, as
detailed in ANSI A10.4.
2. Be sure there is enough wire rope to reach the lowest possible point of travel.

4.3 Wire Rope Inspection
The need for replacement of suspension wire ropes shall be determined by regular inspection and
shall be based on the condition of the wire rope inspected. Wire rope in active service should be
visually inspected once every working day. A thorough inspection shall be made once a month,
or before each use if the suspension wire ropes have been inactive for 30 days or longer and are
placed into service. Dated and signed monthly reports indicating the condition of the ropes found
during inspections must be kept.
