Operational Instructions

Hoist Placement and Operational Instructions

Track Section Chart: Brace Support and Proper Set-Up Distance at Job Site

This table provides the suggested information for the distance of the bottom track from the building and the location of the track support for various conditions. Track lengths over 28 feet require the use of the telescoping brace (#60005).

Raising and Lowering the Track Section Assembly

WARNING: KEEP TRACK SECTIONS MINIMUM 10 FT. CLEAR OF ALL ELECTRICAL WIRES AND EQUIPMENT. BE AWARE OF OVERHEAD WIRES BEFORE RAISING TRACK SECTIONS. ELECTRICITY KILLS! The hoist assembly is extremely top-heavy and must be kept under control at all times. Two alternate methods are suggested for raising the platform hoist to the operating position. ALWAYS USE APPROVED ROOF TOP FALL PROTECTION when setting up, operating, and taking down the Transporter Hoist.

Procedure “A” This procedure requires two or preferably three men.

1. Lay the assembled track sections with the platform attached parallel to the building wall that is to support the hoist.
2. Tie a rope to the head bracket and have the man on the roof pull up the hoist while the other man on the ground braces the shoes on the bottom base section to prevent slippage of the hoist shoes. The third man on the ground may aid in erecting by “walking” the hoist up hand over hand by the rungs.
3. When the hoist reaches a vertical position, carefully turn the hoist 90 degrees with the platform pointing away from the building. Move the bottom of the hoist away from the building 1/4 of the height of the building where the top of the hoist is to be supported. Make allowances for overhang. See page 13 for the track section chart for approximate distances of the base from the building.
4. Tie the track section to the roof with a rope fastened to a cross tie on the top bracket to prevent slippage of the track section. See below. DO NOT TIE ROPE TO THE RAILS – THIS WILL PREVENT THE PLATFORM FROM OPERATING PROPERLY.
5. Make certain the shoes on the steel bottom section are firmly resting on level ground. This will help to prevent track section slippage or uneven loading of the track section which could cause damage or injury to personnel and/or equipment.

Secure the Top Cap

• Option 1 Low Top Cap Attach the “S” hooks included with the top cap hardware. Place in mousing holes on the back of the top cap. Tie off the “S” hooks with rope and secure with cross tie.
• Option 2 High Top Cap Pass rope threw the track section rungs. Tie off the rope and secure it with a cross tie.
• Option 3 Ladder and Hoist Anchor Kit #13809

WARNING: KEEP TRACK SECTIONS MINIMUM 10 FT. CLEAR OF ALL ELECTRICAL WIRES AND EQUIPMENT. BE AWARE OF OVERHEAD WIRES BEFORE RAISING TRACK SECTIONS. ELECTRICITY KILLS! ALWAYS USE APPROVED ROOF TOP FALL PROTECTION when setting up, operating, and taking down the Tranzporter Hoist.

Procedure “B” This procedure requires two or preferably three men.

1. Place the track section assembly perpendicular to the building with the bottom shoes of the steel bottom section resting against the building to prevent slipping.
2. Tie a rope to the top bracket and have the man on the roof pull up the hoist while the other man on the ground braces the shoes on the steel bottom base section to prevent slippage of the hoist shoes. The third man on the ground may aid in erecting by “walking” the hoist up hand over hand by the rungs.
3. When the hoist reaches a vertical position, carefully turn the hoist 180 degrees with the platform pointing away from the building.
4. Move the bottom of the hoist away from the building 1/4 of the height of the building where the top of the hoist is to be supported. The angle of track sections from the building should be between 18 and 20 degrees. Make allowances for an overhang. See page 14 for the track section chart for approximate distances of the base from the building.
5. Tie the track section to the roof with a rope fastened to a cross tie on the top bracket to prevent slippage of the track section. See below. DO NOT TIE ROPE TO THE RAILS – THIS WILL PREVENT THE PLATFORM FROM OPERATING PROPERLY.
6. Make certain the shoes on the steel bottom section are firmly resting on level ground. This will help to prevent track section slippage or uneven loading of the track section which could cause damage or injury to personnel and/or equipment.

Secure the Top Cap

• Option 1 Low Top Cap Attach the “S” hooks included with the top cap hardware. Place mounting holes on the back of the top cap. Tie off the “S” hooks with rope and secure with cross tie.
• Option 2 High Top Cap Pass rope threw the track section rungs. Tie off the rope and secure it with a cross tie.
• Option 3 Ladder and Hoist Anchor Kit #13809

Engine/Motor Base Placement

• Step 1 Mount the motor assembly to the base unit; from behind the hoist; the foot pad of the motor base slides under the track base section, while “hanging” the motor base. The motor assembly arms must fit outside the two retainer rings shown above.
• Step 2 Before starting the engine… Align the “V” belt to the large pulley on the base (next to the cable drum assembly on the track base). Then slide the belt under the belt guard longways to the motor base (shown right). Lift the rear of the engine base, this will make it much easier to place the V belt over the engine pulley.
• Step 3 Slide the brake handle over the brake arm and tighten the thumb screw provided. The brake handle can the placed on either side of the hoist, which ever is comfortable and safe.

Operating Gasoline Engines

• IMPORTANT: Lifan and Honda Engines
• BEFORE USE: FILL CRANKCASE WITH OIL. Engine oil recommended: SAE10W-30. As viscosity varies with regions and temperatures, select the proper engine oil following the chart (on the right).
• IMPORTANT: Gear Reduction Housings Only the Lifan gear reduction housing comes Pre-oiled! The Honda engine gear reduction housing requires Oil! Follow manufactures instructions for adding “Gear Oil” to the Honda gear housing.

Read the “Owner’s Manual” before operating any equipment and familiarize yourself with the proper and safe operation of this equipment. If you can not locate or have lost any manuals, please go to the www.tranzporter.com website for the latest instructions and updates.

Gasoline:

Use gasoline with an Octane level over 86. Using unleaded gasoline will decrease the possibility of producing carbon deposits and prolong the engine’s service life. Never use a mixture of gas and oil! Make sure the fuel is free of dirt and water. Never add gasoline when the engine is hot or running.

Gasoline Engines

1. Handle fuel with care. It is EXTREMELY flammable and explosive under certain conditions.
2. Do not smoke, or allow open flames or sparks to be present during the refuelling operation.
3. Use only an approved fuel container to transport fuel.
4. Do not fuel while the engine is hot – allow it to cool before attempting the refuelling operation.
5. Replace all fuel tank caps securely and wipe the spilled fuel before restarting the engine.
6. Do not operate the TP-Series gasoline engine in an enclosed area. The exhaust can be especially hazardous and cause death in an enclosed area.
7. Stop the engine and lower the platform when leaving the vicinity of the hoist.
8. Always stop the engine, lower the platform, wait for all moving parts to stop, and allow the engine to cool before disassembling or moving the hoist.
9. Disconnect the spark plug wire from the plug before disassembling or moving the hoist.
10. DO NOT store the engine in an enclosed area.
11. Allow the engine to cool before storing.
12. DO NOT store the engine where it might be subjected to flames, sparks, extreme heat or any other source of combustion.

Plywood/Flat Panel Tie Down and Lifting Instructions

WARNING FAILURE TO READ AND UNDERSTAND THE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS CAN RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR EVEN DEATH TO USER OR OTHERS

• Use the proper tie-down equipment – If you are not securing your cargo with the proper safety straps, it could come loose during lifting, resulting in injury or death.
• Never hoist anything wider than the 8 ft. – larger plywood sheets can make controlling your hoist difficult and dangerous, especially when considering windy conditions. Wide panels must be centred to prevent tipping.
• Attach your safety straps to slotted tie-down points – Do not hook your tie-down straps to the plywood, straps must pass over the top. Secure your safety straps to the carriage top flaps slotted holes (the metal frame) and to the plywood brackets only (Refer to the drawings for tie-down slot locations).
• Maintain a manageable speed – The wind’s effects on sheets of plywood or panel goods, as well as the higher centre of gravity, can make hoisting difficult and dangerous.
• Check all tie-down connections. Safety straps may come loose during transport. Always check the strap for damage or wear. Replace when damaged or worn.
• Do not lift plywood/sheet goods when winds exceed 15 mph.
