Regardless of how the hoist is used, make sure that the
upper hook is firmly attached to a support or anchor that has
sufficient strength to hold several times the rated load of the
hoist.
Using the upper hook, attach the hoist
to support.
Be sure hoist is solidly held in the
uppermost part of the hook arc and
the latch is tightly against the hook tip.
OPERATION
GENERAL
A.The hoist must be kept clean to assure proper operation.
Before use, check to be sure the load chain is clean, that
there is no foreign material in the liftwheel area and that
the lever operates freely.
B.Do not load beyond the rated capacity. Overload can
cause immediate failure or cause damage resulting in
future failure, even at less than rated capacity.
C.Do not use this hoist or any other material handling
equipment for lifting or moving people, or lifting loads over
people.
D.Stand clear of all loads and warn other people of your
intention to move a load in their area.
E.Do not leave a load on the unit unattended.
F. Read warnings and instructions on the lever before each
use.
G. Do not hold the load chain while operating the hoist.
Should the hoist not operate properly, serious injury
may occur.
H.Never operate the hoist when flammable materials or
vapors are present. Contact between metal parts may
produce sparks that can cause a fire or explosion.
I. STAY ALERT! Watch what you are doing and use
common sense. Do not use the hoist when you are tired,
distracted or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication causing diminished control.
FREE-CHAINING
In this mode of operation, the gearing is disengaged to allow
the chain to be easily pulled through the hoist by hand, for
quick attachment to the load.
To free-chain the RS2 Lever Hoist:
1. Make sure there is no load on the lower hook.
2. Turn the lever trigger 1/4 turn from “UP” or “DN”.
3. Rotate the cam knob 1/4 turn clockwise (to right) from
“OPERATE” to “FREE-CHAIN”. A “click” will be heard or
felt and the cam cannot be rotated further in the clockwise
position.
