WARNING ; Make sure the load is balanced. When using a wire rope or a sling, make sure the load is balanced before lifting. The load may fall and it is dangerous. WARNING ; Do not lift or lower suddenly. When suddenly lowering the load, this may lead to poor balance of the load and the load may fall.
Page 10
WARNING ; Use one hoist for one load. When lifting one load by more than 2 hoists, imbalanced of stress applied to single hoist. WARNING ; Lubrication to the chain. Always lubricate lift chain. If there is no oil on the chain, chain will be worn out quickly. This may lead to dropping of the load and personal injury due to breaking of the chain and it is very dangerous.

CAUTION ; Make sure the correct air pressure is used with the hoist. ・Operating air pressure is 0.4-0.6 MPa ≪Recommended air pressure 0.6 MPa≫ Operating at air pressures above 0.4-0.6 MPa will affect the durability, performance and safety of the hoist.
(5) Specifications 1. Operating conditions ① Operating Air pressure: 0.4 MPa-0.6 MPa ≪Recommended 0.6MPa≫ ② Operating Ambient Temp. range: -10℃ to 60℃ ≪Recommended 20℃≫ ③ Operating location: Inside ④ Applications: For vertical lifting loads 2.
