1. SAFETY
1.1. GENERAL SAFETY
DO NOT lift more than rated load. Be aware of dynamic loading! Sudden load movement may briefly create excess load causing
8
product failure.
DO NOT operate hoist with twisted, kinked, or damaged chain. Inspect chain carefully before every use.
8
DO NOT operate a damaged or malfunctioning hoist. Inspect hoist carefully and test operation before every use.
8
DO NOT lift people or lift loads over people. Falling loads can injure or kill people.
8
DO NOT operate hoist with anything other than manual power (by hand).
8
DO NOT remove or cover warning labels and/or tags. These carry important safety information.
8
NOTE: The warnings, precautions, and instructions discussed in this instruction manual cannot cover all possible conditions and
situations that may occur. It must be understood by the operator that common sense and caution are factors which cannot be built into
this product, but must be supplied by the operator.
1.2. INSTALLATION SAFETY
The supporting structure the hoist is mounted to (including trolley, monorail, or crane) must be designed to
9
withstand the loads and forces imposed by the hoist for the rated load.
Install in a location that allows the operator to move and stay clear of the load.
9
Where the slack chain hanging from the hoist may create a hazard, use an appropriate chain container (not
9
provided) to contain the excess chain.
Properly seat the suspension hook on the supporting structure at its intended load bearing point (see the
9
diagram of fig.1).
DO NOT allow the hook hitch to support any part of the load.
8
DO NOT apply the load to the point of the hook (fig.1).
8
Designate a work area that is clean and well-lit. The work area must not allow access by children or pets to prevent
9
distraction and injury.
There must not be objects, such as utility lines, nearby that will present a hazard while working.
9
1.3. MAINTENANCE SAFETY
WARNING! TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM HOIST FAILURE:
‰
DO NOT use damaged equipment. If adjustments or repairs are necessary, or any defects are known, have the problem corrected
8
before further use.
Perform a "Frequent Inspection" daily.
9
Perform a "Periodic Inspection" every 3 Months.
9
More frequent inspections are needed for hoists that are used heavily.
9
Raise test loads only to the minimum extent needed and stay well clear of load at all times during testing.
9
Only a qualified technician should perform maintenance to the hoist.
9
Inspect the hoist as explained in this instruction manual.
9
1.4. OPERATION SAFETY
Wear goggles, hard hat, and steel-toed work boots during set up and use.
9
This product is not a toy. DO NOT allow children to play with or near this item.
9
Use as intended only. DO NOT use to handle molten material. DO NOT use for aircraft purposes.
9
DO NOT operate a hoist with an out-of-order sign.
8
DO NOT use the chain or rope as a ground for welding.
8
DO NOT touch a welding electrode to the chain or rope.
8
Only operate hand chain operated hoists with hand power, with no more than one operator per hand chain.
9
1.5. APPLYING THE LOAD
DO NOT wrap the hoist rope or chain around the load.
8
Attach the load to the load hook securely by properly rated, suitable means, such as chains, shackles, hooks, lifting slings, etc. Load
9
must be attached to prevent accidental disconnection.
Properly seat the sling or other device in the base (bowl or saddle) of the hook (fig.1).
9
DO NOT allow the hook hitch to support any part of the load.
8
DO NOT apply the load to the point of the hook (fig.1).
8
Before moving the load, make sure chains or wire rope are not kinked or twisted or that multiple part chains or ropes are not twisted
9
around each other.
DO NOT operate the hoist unless rope or chain is seated properly on the drum, sheaves, or sprockets.
8
DO NOT operate the hoist unless the hoist unit is centred over the load.
8
DO NOT pick up a load in excess of the rated load appearing on the hoist or load block, except during properly authorised tests.
8
DO NOT use a hoist overload limiting device to measure the maximum load to be lifted.
8
Give specific attention to load balancing and hitching or slinging to prevent load slipping.
9
1.6. MOVING THE LOAD
DO NOT engage in any activity which will divert the operator's attention while operating the hoist.
