Page 5: About This Manual
ABOUT THIS MANUAL Before using the Spider SC1000 Relevation (SC1000-RE) hoist, learn the procedures described ® in this manual. Any operation in violation of these instructions may result in bodily injury or death. This manual is included with each Spider SC1000-RE hoist.
Page 6: Safety Instructions
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS CAUTION: Every year, workers on suspended scaffolds are injured, become disabled, or are killed because of carelessness or because they did not understand how to correctly operate the equipment. DO NOT become one of them. Know how to use this equipment and prevent accidents.
Page 7 Operating the Hoist 1. Be careful when operating the hoist in freezing temperatures. Water or moisture may enter the hoist’s overspeed brake or traction assembly. See “Cautions for Cold Weather Operation” on Page 27. 2. Be careful when operating the hoist in high winds. Consider stopping work or adding stabilization at wind speeds of 40 kph (25 mph) or more when working on a 2-line suspended platform.
Page 8 Suspended Scaffolds 1. WARNING! WARNING! DO NOT use suspended scaffolds unless: a. You are wearing a personal fall arrest system that meets or exceeds your application requirements. b. You have personally made sure that: i. the roof support system is complete, properly assembled, counterweighted (or otherwise anchored), tied off, and not overloaded;...
Page 9: General Hazard Warnings
Welding/Electrical Cautions 1. When welding from a suspended scaffold, provide proper electrical grounding for the hoist. 2. Ensure platform is grounded to the structure. 3. Insulate wire rope 1.2 m (4 feet) above and below the platform. 4. Insulate wire rope at suspension point and ensure that the wire rope cannot come in contact with the structure at any point along its entire length, including the tail line.
Page 10: Mechanical Hazards
2.2 Mechanical Hazards ► Crushing between the platform and the building or structure. ► Cutting or severing between moving machine parts. ► Loss of rigging stability because of one or more of the following: „ Insufficient counterweight or counterweights not properly fixed; „...
Page 11: Environmental Hazards
2.4 Environmental Hazards ► Consider and prepare for the effects of climate: heat/cold/ice/wind. ► Sandblasting and acid wash procedures may introduce special concerns. They may adversely affect the immediate health of an operator and may pose serious risks to the hoist and other equipment being used.

Page 13: Battery Charging
3.2 Battery Charging CAUTION: The battery charger is only suitable for the 48 VDC lithium-ion battery pack of the hoist and must not be used for other purposes. The battery must be charged indoors to protect charger reduce the risk of moisture/debris getting into the charging port.
Page 14: Charge Indicator
3.3 Charge Indicator The battery charge indicator displays the current charge remaining on the battery. One of ten colored bars will be illuminated (seven green, two yellow, and one red bar) as the battery discharges from left to right. If the two bars on the far left are flashing, the battery charge is less than 30% and should be charged.
Page 15: Wire Rope
WIRE ROPE 4.1 Wire Rope Terminations 1. To prepare the end of IWRC wire rope for insertion, cut back the steel center at least 2” (51 mm) to allow for independent movement of the core. Braze and rough shape the end of the wire rope to form a smooth, tapered, bullet shape no more than 1/4”...
Page 16: Wire Rope Cautions
4.2 Wire Rope Cautions 1. Wire rope stretches when loaded, which reduces the diameter. Wire rope begins to wear the moment it is used. It must be regularly inspected to be sure it is in good condition. Wire rope must be removed from service when diameter loss or wire breakage occurs, as detailed in ANSI A10.4.
Page 17: Wire Rope Inspection
4.3 Wire Rope Inspection The need for replacement of suspension wire ropes shall be determined by regular inspection and shall be based on the condition of the wire rope inspected. Wire rope in active service should be visually inspected once every working day. A thorough inspection shall be made once a month, or before each use if the suspension wire ropes have been inactive for 30 days or longer and are placed into service.
