Hoisting Safety Precautions Loads may slip, if the PX3 is not hoisted properly, this could result in injury or death. DO NOT use with damaged slings or chains. Utilize appropriate rigging gear for overhead lifting.
Before the PX3 cart is hoisted to any roofing deck the user MUST VERIFY THAT THE DECK CAN ACCOMMODATE THE LOAD REQUIREMENTS. Verify that the surface that the PX3 will be used on is capable of supporting both the device, weighing 430 lbs, and personnel using it. Inspect that the entire area to determine if the working surfaces have the strength to support users safely.
Secure Cable Release about 4 ft. of cable from the winch. Slide the rescue hook though the hole below the winch. Standing above the PX3, bend over and pass the rescue hook/cable through the roller cable guide bracket. The rescue hook should pass under the roller and about the bottom of the roller bracket.

Any rescuer must be tied off in a Fall Restraint System (FRS) before attempting to aid in a rescue. The number of rescuers allowed to tie off to the PX3 is 3 minus the number of fallen workers. Up to 2 (two) additional rescuers may tie off to the PX3 utilizing the two fall restraint tie-off shackles marked for FRS.

If the fallen worker is unconscious or unable to hook themselves up to the rescue cable additional rescue help will be needed. The additional worker must be tied off to the PX3. Using a rescue pole attach the hook/ cable to the fallen worker.
