Correct and incorrect hook attachment
Setting the Top Hook
1. Place the selector switch on the handle in the center neutral position, and pull out on the hand-
wheel (Figure 4). This will allow the free-wheel mode. Pull the load chain by hand to position the
bottom hook.
2. Correctly center the load on the bottom hook (Figure 5). Incorrect loading is dangerous to the
operator, the lever hoist, and the load.
3. Rotate the hand-wheel clockwise while simultaneously pulling down on the load chain, as shown
in Figure 4. The hand-wheel will snap back into place, re-engaging the gear.
4. Move the selector switch to the UP position. Ratchet the lever to raise or pull the load. Do not
overload the lever hoist.
5. To release or lower the load, turn the selector switch on the handle to the DOWN position and
ratchet the handle.
