SAFE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The following warnings and operating instructions are
intended to avoid unsafe operating practices which might
lead to indury or property damage.
INGERSOLL-RAND recognizes that most companies
who use hoists and trolley safety program in force at their
facility. In the event that some conflict exists between a
rule set forth in this publication and a similar rule already
set by an individual company, the more stringent of the
two should take precedence.
Safe Operating Instructions are provided to make an
operator aware of dangerous practices to avoid and are
not necessarily limited to the following list. Refer to
specific sections in the manual for additional safety
information.
Refer to the hoist manual for additional precautions and
instructions.
1. Only allow qualified people (trained in safety and
operation) to operate the hoist.
2. Only operate a hoist and a trolley if you are
physically fit to do so.
3. When a "DO NOT OPERATE" sign is placed on the
hoist controls, do not operate the hoist until the sign
has been removed by designated personnel.
4. Before each shift, the operator should inspect the
hoist and the trolley for wear or damage.
5. Never use a hoist and a trolley that inspection
indicates is defective.
6. Periodically, inspect the hoist and the trolley
thoroughly and replace worn or damaged parts.
7. Lubricate the hoist and the trolley regularly.
8. Using the hoist, only lift loads less than or equal to
the lower rated capacity of the trolley or hoist.
9. Only attach a hoist having a raded capacity equal to
or less than the capacity of the trolley.
10. When using two hoists to suspend one load, select
two trolleys each having a rated capacity equal to or
more than the load. This provides adequate safety in
the event of a sudden load shift or failure of one
trolley.
11. Never place your hand inside the throat area of a
hook
12. Only operate a hoist when the load is centered under
the hoist. Do not "side pull" or "yard".
13. Pay attention to the load at all times when operating
the trolley.
14. Make sure all people are clear of the load path. Do
not lift a load over people.
15. Never use the hoist for lifting or lowering people,
and never allow anyone to stand on a suspended
load.
16. Do not swing a suspended load.
17. Never suspend a load for an extended period of time
18. Never leave a suspended load unattended.
19. Never weld or cut a load suspended by the trolley.
20. Always rig the load properly and carefully.
21. Remove all loads before performing any
maintenance.
22. Avoid collision or bumping of hoist and trolley.
23. After use, properly secure hoist and all loads.
