Your new Model 27, multi-point lifting beam, only supports loads up to its rated capacity and load size limits. The Model 27 is a load supporting lifter complying
with ASME B30.20 BTH-1 Design Category B and Service Class 2, which is for specific tasks, withstanding forces based on the unit's rated capacity. Use the
following guidelines for your protection and for optimal operation of your equipment. The safety precaution list below is not all-inclusive. The owner/user is respon-
sible for understanding and acting according to industry standards, and any local, state, or federal regulations. Refer to the Manufacturer's Instruction Manual for
product and safety information on other attachments, components, or both used with your lifting equipment.
1.
DO NOT EXCEED RATED CAPACITY.
2.
DO NOT lift or support people.
3.
DO NOT lift over people.
4.
DO NOT lift higher than necessary.
5.
DO NOT leave suspended load unattended
6.
DO ensure the load can withstand the forces applied by the lifter.
7.
DO inspect the lifter for damage or excess wear before each use. Check for structural bending, excess wear at load points and pins,
cracked or broken welds, deformed hooks. If inspection reveals any defect, remove the lifting device from service and tag
"Out of Service". Immediately notify your Safety Administrator or Supervisor to contact The Caldwell Group, regarding any defect.

Loading Operation

1.
Know the rated capacity and weight of your Model 27 multi-point lifting beam.
(See The Caldwell Group identification tag on your lifting unit).
2.
Determine the weight of the load and the load's center of gravity.
3.
Confirm the load's weight is less than or equal to the Model 27 rated capacity.
4.
Confirm the combined weight of the load and lifter is less than or equal to the hoist's rated capacity.
5.
Confirm all load attachment components have the correct rated capacity for the load and lifter.
6.
For models with adjustable spreads or bails, make the adjustments before loading, ensuring all adjustments are securely fastened.
7.
Securely attach the load to the lifter, using ONLY symmetrical loading.
8.
Prevent tilting of the lifter and load, by positioning the hoist's and lifter's center in-line with the load's center of gravity.
9.
Use ONLY a vertical lift.
10. Perform a test lift of several inches, verifying: the load is symmetrically attached, the hoist, bail, and load centers are in-line at 90
degrees to horizontal, and the load and lifter are balanced.
11. When the load is level/horizontal, the lifter is in the proper lifting position.
