OPERATION (continued)
Using the Hoist
Refer to FIGURE
WARNING!
As illustrated in FIGURE 2, the Cable (#56) must flow through the
cable Guard (#29), and the Stopper (#31) must be securely attached to the end of
the Cable (#56).
1. Plug in the unit and press the Switch (#43) toward the “down” position to lower
the Hook (#34) to the load.
2. When connecting the Hook (#34) to the load, you must be sure that the
connection point on the load is capable of holding the weight of the entire load. If you
are not sure, use a separate cable (not included) that is rated above maximum lift load
capacity, to surround the unit and tie it off securely. Then, attach the load is completely
inside of the hook and safety tab on the Hook (#34) and the load is centered under
the hoist. The safety tab on the hook must latch or close over the connection point or
cable or the load may fall causing serious damage and injury.
3. Make sure no people or animals are near the immediate area. Never support a
load over people or animals.
4. Standing clear, push the Switch (#43) toward the “lift” position. Slowly raise the
load only enough to clear the floor or support and check to be sure the load is securely
fastened. Proceed only after you are ensured the load is secure and free of all
obstructions. If the Hoist refuses to lift the load you might have exceeded maximum lift
capacity. If you are under the maximum capacity and the Hoist stops on its own,
release the lift switch and stay clear while the motor has sufficient time to cool down.
Then, resume the process.
5. When you are ready to lower the load, press the Switch (#43) toward the “down”
position.
6. When the load is completely on the ground, keeping clear of it, shake or move the
load to make sure it is sitting firmly on the ground. Then, remove the Hook (#34) from
the load.
7. Push the Switch (#43) toward the “lift” position and bring the Stopper (#31) up to
within a few inches of the Guard (#29).
8. When finished, unplug the unit.
INSPECTION, MAINTENANCE, AND CLEANING
WARNING!
Before each use, inspect the general condition of the hoist.

parts, damaged electrical wiring, and any other condition that may affect its safe
operation. If abnormal noise or vibration occurs, have the problem corrected before
Further use. Do not use damaged equipment.
1. Wipe the Hoist down with a lint free cloth.
2. Check the cable for tears, excessive wearing, damage or frays. If you find any,

genuine replacement cable (Cable (#56)). Do not substitute rope or any other type of
cable.
3. Periodically lubricate the cable with a light oil.
