be worn or damaged .
Always check the wire cable for any wear, fraying
or damage . Only wire cable in good condition

it . If the wire cable is spooled incorrectly do not
connect a load to it or use it until the wire cable
has been re-spooled correctly .

clear of pinch points, moving parts and the wire
cable . Loose clothing and jewelry should not be
worn during operation of the hoist . Gloves and
safety goggles should be worn at all times when
connecting or hoisting a load . The cable should
never be allowed to slide through the users hands .
The user should only grab the pulley or support

the wire cable directly . Attach the load to the
pulley or support hook using only rated equipment,
such as slings, chains or hoisting shackles .
Connection to the pulley or support hook must
be completely secure to prevent any accidental
disconnection . Make sure the lifting device is
properly seated in the base of the hook and that
the safety clasp closes fully .
