IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Basic Safety Information
1. Do not lift more than rated load. Be aware of dynamic loading! Sudden load movement may briefly create
excess load causing product failure.
2. Do not operate hoist with twisted, kinked, or damaged chain. Inspect chain carefully before every use.
3. Do not operate a damaged or malfunctioning hoist. Inspect hoist carefully and test operation before every
use.
4. Do not lift people or lift loads over people. Falling loads can injure or kill people.
5. Do not operate hoist with anything other than manual power (by hand).
6. Do not remove or cover warning labels and/or tags. These carry important safety information. If unreadable
or missing, contact Customer Service for a replacement.
7. The warnings, precautions, and instructions discussed in this instruction manual cannot cover all possible
conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood by the operator that common sense and
caution are factors which cannot be built into this product, but must be supplied by the operator.
Installation Specific Safety Information
1. The supporting structure the hoist is mounted to (including trolley, monorail, or crane) must be designed to
withstand the loads and forces imposed by the hoist for the rated load.
2. Install in location that allows the operator to move and stay clear of the load.
3. Where the slack chain hanging from the hoist may create a hazard, use an appropriate chain container (not
provided) to contain the excess chain.
4. Inspect the hoist as explained in Frequent Inspection on page 8 after installation but before use.
Inspection, Testing, and Maintenance Specific Safety Information
1. Perform a "Frequent Inspection" daily.
2. Perform a "Periodic Inspection" every 3 Months.
3. More frequent inspections are needed for hoists that are used heavily.
4. Raise test loads only to the minimum extent needed and stay well clear of load at all times during testing.
