Previous Blog: Hoisting Machinery Safe Working Period (SWP)
Stagemaker makes it safe, easy and convenient to replace the pigtails on your hoist with its slide-in pigtail design. Watch Jay Cid, Stagemaker’s Business Development Manager, replace the pigtails on a Stagemaker SR05 hoist.
Before you perform any maintenance on a Stagemaker hoist, you must disconnect the power source from the hoist.
- Remove the four screws on the end plate with a #5 Allen wrench. The end cap will hang from the side on its tether line for ease of maintenance.
- Unplug the first pigtail from the board and slide it out then do the same with the second pigtail if needed.
- Replace the pigtails by lining up the beveled edges to the entry plate edges and slide it in
- Reconnect the plugs to the board. Do the same with the second pigtail, if needed.
- Insert the plugs and cables back into the hoist, paying attention not to cover the hole at the bottom so the you can adjust the limit switch.
- Replace the end cap by lining it up with the two alignment notches, making sure no wires are pinched between the body and the cover.
- The hoist is now ready to reconnect to power
