Keep children and bystanders away from the work area while operating the tool. Do not allow children to handle the product. Be aware of all power lines, electrical circuits, water pipes, and other mechanical hazards in your work area. Some of these hazards may be hidden from your view and may cause personal injury and/or property damage if contacted. ⚠WARNING PERSONAL SAFETY Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating the tool.
Inspect the tool for good working condition prior to storage and before re-use. Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for use with your product. Accessories that may be suitable for one product may create a risk of injury when used with another tool. Never use an accessory that has a lower operating speed or operating pressure than the tool itself. Keep guards in place and in working order. Never operate the product without the guards in place.
Do not support load on hook unless hook is designed for tip loading. Do not operate if restricted from forming a straight line from hook to hook in the direction of loading. Properly seat the suspension hook on the supporting structure at its intended load bearing point (Figure 1). Do not allow the hook hitch to support any part of the load. Do not apply the load to the point of the hook (Figure 1).
1. Set the top hook securely. 2. Correctly center the load on the bottom hook. Incorrect loading is dangerous to the operator, the lever hoist, and the load. 3. Place the selector switch on the handle in the center neutral position. This will allow free-wheel mode. The chain will only be in the free-wheel mode when there is no load. Take up slack by pulling on loose or free end or by turning the hand wheel. 4. Move the selector switch to the UP position. Ratchet the lever to raise or pull the load.
The possibility of corrosion on components of the hoist increases for installations where salt air and high humidity are present. Make frequent and regular inspections of the hoist’s condition and operation when using it outdoors.
