Notes for Correct Operation

For winched variants, each of the product's
three sheaves have been designed to work
specifically with the rope materials and
diameters detailed below:
Sheave Colour Rope Diameter
Yellow 1/8"-3/16" Wire rope / Fibre rope
White/Natural 1/4"-5/16" Wire rope / Fibre rope
Grey 5/16"-1/2" Fibre rope only
It is important to ensure that the correct
sheave is being used to prevent pinching or
squashing of the rope
We recommend the use of load-sensing or
overload protection devices on all lifts
The risk assessment and method statement
must consider any factors that might apply
additional loading to the system during lifting
operations
Suitable, appropriately rated winches and
connection plates must be used for all
applications
Take care when transporting and storing the
system to avoid damage
Assemble only as instructed (ensure all
bolts are present and fitted correctly as per
instructions
We recommend that gloves are worn when

using the equipment
Attach the hoist to the dedicated lifting point
only, making sure it is attached in a way that
does not expose the user to danger by the
hoist, chain or load
Do not allow the load to swing
To avoid side pull, lowering and lifting should
only be carried out when the load chain forms
a straight and vertical line between the load
and lifting attachment point. (Refer to figure A)
