MOUNTING/INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 1. Make sure the item to be stored is within the recommended capacity of the Pulley Hoist. 2. Determine the two lifting points (not more than 5 feet apart) on the item to be lifted. Make sure the two lifting points allow the hooks to fully cradle the area being lifted to avoid any slippage or sliding of the hooks. Also make sure the lifting points will keep the load balanced. 3. Select a secure mounting surface for securing the Pulley Hoist. See the section in the instructions for Joist (Exhibit A) or Flush Ceiling Mounts (Exhibit B). 4. The location selected for mounting should have adequate overhead clearance and wall space.

OPERATION LIFTING WITH THE PULLEY HOIST 1. Center the storage item under the Pulley Hoist. 2. Lower the lifting hooks by releasing the ropes evenly. 3. Attached the hooks to the item being stored so that the load is evenly balanced. Make sure the hooks are properly secured so the hooks won’t slide or unhook. 4. Raise the load evenly a few inches off the floor. Double check to make sure the load is balanced to prevent any weight from shifting. 5. Continue to raise the load to the desired height. Have some assistance to secure load with a safety strap on both hooked ends. 6. Release the rope and secure to the cleat already mounted on the wall.

LOWERING WITH THE PULLEY HOIST 1. Remove the safety straps and untie the rope from the mounting cleat making sure the locking mechanism is still engaged. 2. Stand clear of the load and grip both ropes firmly. Release the locking mechanism and slowly lower the load until it is resting on the floor. 3. Remove the hooks and raise them to have enough head clearance. Wrap the rope securely around the mounting cleat.
