Chapter 1

Overview

The Overview chapter provides safety information as well as various hoist specifications.

Safety and Warnings

Read this entire installation manual before installing equipment. Please note the following

safety notices before use:

WARNING: ETC Rigging systems must be installed under the supervision of

a person trained and certified in ETC Rigging Installation. If you are not an

ETC Rigging trained technician, do not attempt installation of this

equipment unless you are under the immediate supervision of an ETC

Rigging certified installer.

WARNING: Improper operation may cause serious injury or death.

AVERTISSEMENT : Un fonctionnement incorrect peut provoquer des

blessures graves, voire mortelles.

WARNING: Disconnect power before servicing this equipment.

AVERTISSEMENT : Déconnectez l'alimentation avant d'effectuer

l'entretien de cet équipement.

WARNING: ETC Prodigy hoists and QuickTouch and Foundation control

equipment should not be operated by a user until installation is complete

and the system has been commissioned by an ETC Rigging trained and

certified installer. Only ETC Rigging trained and certified installers are

authorized to operate equipment during the installation and configuration

process.

WARNING: ETC Prodigy hoists and QuickTouch and Foundation control

equipment are designed for the raising and lowering of loads within the

approved hoist capacity only. This equipment is not designed to lift or

automate personnel and such use is strictly prohibited.

WARNING: ETC Prodigy hoists must only be used to move a maximum load

equal to or less than the capacity of your specific hoist. Overloading the

hoist may result in damage to the system or serious injury.

Overview 4

AVERTISSEMENT : Les porteuse de Prodigy doivent uniquement être

utilisés pour déplacer une charge maximale équivalente ou inférieure à sa

capacité nominale. Une surcharge de l'appareil peut entraîner

l'endommagement du système et d'autres biens, des blessures graves, voire

la mort.

Working Load Limit (WLL)

The Working Load Limit (WLL) of any hoist is the maximum load capacity that a user may apply

to a hoist or a hoist system.

All Prodigy hoists have a Working Load Limit. This is identified on the product label on the side

of the motor box. All Prodigy FlyPipe hoists have a Working Load Limit of 225 kg (500 lb).

Prodigy Working Load Limits include a design-safety factor.

WARNING: NEVERexceed the Working Load Limit for any hoist.

Hoist Specifications

The FlyPipe hoist is made up of three different types of sections. Each hoist consists of Drive and

End sections and up to four Span sections. The self-climbing hoist provides strut channel on the

underside of the hoist body from which you can hang fixtures, curtains, or other equipment.

CAUTION:

Using channel hardware with springs can cause severe damage to

Prodigy FlyPipe. Only use channel nuts without springs.
