1.3 Calculating Fleet Angle
WARNING
This could cause failure of the hoist or wire rope,
resulting in damage, injury or death.
• The hoist should be mounted as close to center and as
perpendicular as possible to the direction of the line pull.
This will keep the wire rope fleet angle centered on the
drum as small as possible.
• If the proper fleet angle is not maintained, the wire rope
could wind onto one side of the drum.
• Experience has shown that the best wire rope service is
obtained when the maximum fleet angle is not more than
1.5° for smooth drums.
• The correct distance between the center of drum and
the pulley should result in a fleet angle of 1.5°. The
forumla for the fleet angle is the equivalents of approxi-
mately 19 inches of lead for each inch (19 cm of lead for
each centimetre) of overall drum length. For example,
the correct distance varies according to drum length.

Correct Distance
1.4 Install the Hoist
1. Set flanged nuts into pockets of hoist feet.
2. Make sure the motor, drum and gearbox
housing are aligned correctly.
3. Set hoist in mounting location. Confirm
required bolt length.
4. Install bolts and tighten to torque specified
in Table 4, Page 7.
