• Each time a load is lifted, the operation of the load brake should be checked by raising the load slightly
and stopping to ensure the brake will hold the load before proceeding to lift the load.
Familiarize operators and people responsible for hoist installation and service with ASME B30.16 specifications prior
to placing the unit into service. All the requirements of this specification, including testing should be met before
approving the hoist for operation.
It is recommended that the user and owner check all appropriate and applicable regulations before placing this product
into use. Refer to Product Safety Information Manual.
The hoist operator must be carefully instructed in his or her duties and must understand the operation of the hoist,
including a study of the manufacturer's literature. The operator must thoroughly understand proper methods of
hitching loads and should have a good attitude regarding safety. It is the operator's responsibility to refuse to operate
the hoist under unsafe conditions.
• Hoist is not designed or suitable for lifting, lowering or moving persons.
• Never lift loads over people.
Hoist Operation
When facing hand chain side of hoist:
1. Pull down on the right hand chain (clockwise) to raise load.
2. Pull down on the left hand chain (counterclockwise) to lower load.
Make sure the hoist has an adequate length of load chain to raise or lower the load in a safe manner. Do not attempt
to lower the hoist beyond its limit.
On 20 ton KM Series hoists, use two operators, one on each of the two hand chains. To keep the load chain centered
in the block assemblies, operate the hoist units simultaneously and at the same speed. An equal amount of unloaded
chain must be maintained under each hoist body.
• Do not allow load chain, on 20 ton KM Series hoists, to accumulate on one side (under one hoist body).
Excessive loading to load chain anchor may occur resulting in a falling load which can cause severe injury,
death or property damage.
• The clicking sound of the pawl on the ratchet gear is normal when a load is being raised.
Overload Clutch
Some hoists are equipped with a slip clutch. When trying to lift a load that exceeds capacity of hoist the hand chain
will rotate in the hoist body but the load will not be lifted.
