Storing the Hoist
1.
Always store the hoist in a no load condition.
2.
Wipe off all dirt and water.
3.
Oil the chain, hook pins and hook latch pins.
4.
Place in a dry location.
5.
Before returning hoist to service, follow instructions for 'Hoists Not In Regular Use'. Refer to the "INSPECTION"
section on page 7.
Environment Conditions: KM hoists are designed to operate in ambient temperatures between 0°F (-18°C) and 130°F
(54°C).
Prior to installing hoist, carefully inspect it for possible shipping damage. The assembly and installation depends on
the local environment. The hoist must be suspended in a way that it can position itself freely.
Hoists are supplied fully lubricated from the factory. Lubrication of the load chain is recommended before initial hoist
operation.
The hoist shall be installed in locations that will allow movement of the operator to stay clear of the load, and the
locations where the length of the load chain will allow the load hook to rest on the floor or the lowest level on which
the load rests.
•
A falling load can cause injury or death. Before installing refer to Product Safety Information Manual for
all sections of installation.
•
Depending on the model selected, the hoist may weigh more than 90 lbs. (41 kg). If parts of the hoist are
dropped, they can cause injury, death or property damage. Adequately support the hoist during
installation
•
Owners and users are advised to examine specific, local or other regulations, including American Society
of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) and/or OSHA Regulations which may apply to a particular type of use of
this product before installing or putting product to use.
The supporting structures and load-attaching devices used in conjunction with this hoist must provide adequate
support to handle all hoist operations plus the weight of the hoist and attached equipment. This is the customer's
responsibility. If in doubt, consult a registered structural engineer.
The KM Series manual chain hoist must be used in a vertical position to provide a straight line pull from top hook to
bottom hook. The hoist must be positioned so that it does not contact the support members when in use. When
operating in limited areas suitable lifting attachments or slings must be used to prevent the hoist body and hand chain
from being obstructed.
Initial Operating Checks
•
Ensure the hoist top and bottom hooks are properly rigged and the hook latches are engaged, prior to
use.
Operate the hoist with a test load (10% of rated capacity) by raising and lowering this load several times. Verify the
brake operation by lowering the same load to check load does not slip when lowering stops.
