Read the manufacturer’s operating instructions before operating the Hoist.
Never lift a load greater than the rated capacity of the Hoist.
Never use the load chain as a sling.
Never operate the Hoist with twisted, kinked or damaged chain.
Be certain the load is properly seated in the saddle of the hook. Faulty loading leads to spreading of the hook.
Do not use load chains as a ground for welding. Do not attach a welding electrode to a Hoist or sling chain.
Do not use the up and down stops as means of stopping a Hoist-these are emergency devices only. Keep hands and
clothing free from the throttle lever.
Do not leave a load suspended for any extended period.
Always stand clear of the load.
Never use the Hoist for lifting or lowering people, and never stand on a suspended load.
Never carry loads over people.
Before each shift, check the Hoist for wear or damage. Check brakes, limit stops, etc.
Periodically inspect the Hoist thoroughly and replace worn or damaged parts.
Follow the lubrication instructions.
Do not attempt to repair load chain or hooks. Replace them when they become worn or damaged.
Never operate a Hoist when the load chain is not centered under the hook. Do not “side pull” or “yard”.
Always rig the Hoist properly and carefully.
Ease the slack out of the load chain when starting a lift. Do not jerk the Hoist.
Keep the load chain clean and well lubricated. Do not drag the load chain or hook on the floor.
Be certain there are no objects in the way of a load or hook when moving the Hoist.
Be certain the air supply is shut off before performing maintenance work on the Hoist.
Avoid swinging the load when moving the Hoist.
Keep the load block overhead when not in use.
Properly secure an outdoor Hoist before leaving it unattended.
Do not allow unqualified personnel to operate a Hoist.
Avoid collision or bumping of Hoists. Do not swing a suspended load.
Do not operate a Hoist if you are not physically fit to do so.
Do not do anything that you feel may be unsafe.
Pay attention to the load at all times when operating a Hoist.
Never splice a hoist chain by inserting a bolt between links or by any other means.
Do not force a chain or hook into place by hammering, and never insert the point of the hook into a chain link.
Do not allow the chain to be exposed to extremely cold weather. Do not apply sudden loads to a cold chain.
