Correct and incorrect hook attachment
The hoist may be used either in a vertical position as a hoist or in an angled or horizontal position as a
puller. Below is the general procedure for operating the hoist:
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 the free-
wheel mode. The chain will be in free-wheel mode when there is no load. Take up slack by pulling
on the 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. Do not
overload the lever hoist.
5. To release or lower the load, turn selector switch on the handle to the DOWN position and ratchet
the handle.
