Safety Summary
WARNING
Do not use this hoist or attached equipment for
lifting, supporting, or transporting people or
supporting loads over people.
The supporting structures and load-attaching devices
used in conjunction with this hoist must provide and
adequate safety factor to handle the rated load, plus
the weight of the hoist and attached equipment. This
is the customer's responsibility. If in doubt, consult a
qualified structural engineer.
The National Safety Council, Accident Prevention
Manual for Industrial Operations, Eighth Edition and
other recognized safety sources make a common point.
Employees who work near cranes or assist in hooking on or
arranging a load should be instructed to keep out from
under the load. From a safety standpoint, one factor is
paramount : conduct all lifting operations in such a manner
that if there were an equipment failure, no personnel would
be injured. This means keep out from under a raised load
and keep out of the line of force of any load.
To our interpretation, INGERSOLL-RAND Material
Handling hoists are manufactured in accordance with the
latest standards.
However, contrary to common belief, as we understand it,
generally places the burden of compliance with the user,
not the manufacturer. Many requirements are not concerned
or connected with the manufactured product but are, rather,
connected with the final installation. It is the owner's
responsibility and user's responsibility to determine the
suitability of a product for any particular use. Check all
applicable industry, trade association, federal, state and
local regulations. Read all operating instructions and
warnings before operation.
Rigging : It is the responsibility of the operator to exercise
caution, use common sense and be familiar with proper
rigging techniques.
NOTICE
INGERSOLL-RAND Replacement Parts are
specifically designed to ensure optimum performance
of your equipment. Use of other than genuine
INGERSOLL-RAND Material Handling parts may
adversely affect safe operation and will invalidate the
warranty.
