Operating the Hoist

1.

 To adjust the height of your Rotary Hoist, 

wind the handle and head assembly 
down and then fit one or more of the 
plastic spacers in the ground socket. The 
suggested operating height is the user’s 

head 25mm (1”) (

Fig. 4

). 

Note:

 The height adjusting winding 

mechanism has an automatic device to 
disengage the handle at the maximum and 
minimum heights. A slight ‘clicking’ noise 
will be heard when this system is operating.

2.

 

To Open:

 Undo the line tie-off cord. 

Make sure the lines are tangle free. Push 

the lower cross and arms up until the 
latch engages. 

3.

 

To Fold:

 Press the latch to release the 

lower cross. Place your hands on the 

arms and pull downwards.

4.

 Wrap and fasten the line tie-off cord 

around the hoist to prevent lines from 
becoming tangled.

5.

 

To Remove from the ground socket:

 

Unlock the locking collar by rotating  
anti-clockwise. Lift the Rotary Hoist from 
the ground socket and store in a suitable 
place. Insert the cover into the top of the 
ground socket.
