Limited One Year Warranty All Vanguard manual hoists are guaranteed to be free of defect in both material and workmanship.

Page 3: Operation Instructions
Operation Instructions BEFORE using a manual hoist ALWAYS inspect the top and bottom hooks for signs of wear, reshaping and/or damage. Inspect the load chain for any signs of wear, distortion, bending, stretching or corrosion. Test the brake device by raising the load slightly and stopping to ensure that the brake will hold the load BEFORE proceeding with operation. - Page 4 Load Chain Inspection Load chain can become excessively worn, elongated and/or damaged beyond safe working condition. A visual inspection of the load chain should be performed BEFORE each use of the hoist. The full length of load chain must be replaced immediately if even one link is excessively worn, elongated or damaged.
