HOW TO ORDER REPAIR PARTS FOR YOUR HOIST
Your Hoist is designed and constructed to give you long, trouble-free service. In time it may become necessary to order
and install new parts to replace those that have been subjected to wear. For prompt service and genuine Ingersoll-Rand parts,
place orders with your nearest Ingersoll-Rand Distributor. The use of other than genuine Ingersoll-Rand replacement parts
may result in decreased Hoist performance, and may, at the Company’s option, invalidate all warranties.
When ordering parts, give your Distributor the following data:
1. Complete model number of the Hoist as it appears on the nameplate.
2. Complete part number, part description and quantity needed as shown on the pages of this manual.
If it becomes necessary to return the complete Hoist or certain parts to the factory, contact the Distributor from whom
you purchased the Hoist, or the nearest Ingersoll-Rand Distributor in your locality.
INSTALLING THE HOIST
Make certain your Hoist is properly installed. A little extra time and effort in so doing can contribute a lot toward prevent-
ing accidents and helping you get the best service possible.
Always make certain the supporting member from which the Hoist is suspended is strong enough to support the weight of
the Hoist plus the weight of a maximum rated load plus a generous factor of at least 500% of the combined weights.
When installing a Fabric Chain Container on an MLK Hoist refer to the illustration on Page 30. Note: Make certain to ad-
just the balance chain so that the Container does not contact the load chain.
If the Hoist is suspended by a Top Hook, the supporting member should rest completely within the saddle of the Hook
and be centered directly above the hook shank. Do not use a supporting member that cants the Hoist to one side or the other.
For installing a Trolley on a beam measure the beam flange and temporarily install the Trolley on the Hoist to determine
to 6.35 mm) greater than the width of the beam flange. The number of spacers between the Trolley side plate and the mount-
ing lug on the Hoist must be the same in all four locations in order to keep the Hoist centered under the I-beam. The remain-
ing spacers must be equally distributed on the outside of the side plate.
When installing the Hoist and Trolley on the beam, make certain the side plates are parallel and vertical. After installation,
operate the Trolley over the entire length of the beam with a capacity load suspended a few inches off the floor.
