Pinch Points
• Keep hands and other body parts away from moving equipment. Pinch points
present danger of injury or mutilation where moving equipment parts come
together. Any moving part is a possible pinch point.
Electrical Shock
• Use caution when working on the electrical control box or any termination
boxes. The control box presents danger of very high voltage and risk of
electrical shock. Only authorized and trained electricians should open the
control box and work with the components inside.
Eye Protection
• Wear eye protection at all times while working on or near the equipment.
WARNING
This hoist is not designed for lifting or transporting people. This hoist is intended to be used for the
sole purpose of lifting or lowering materials and equipment directly between the ground and a roof,
intermediate floor, or scaffold. The hoist should only be used on flat, level roofs or masonry floors.
When mounting to scaffold, the scaffold must be erected to OSHA and ANSI standards. Any other
use of this equipment voids the manufacturer warranty and is the sole responsibility of the owner/
user, should any damage or injury occur.
WARNING
Ensure all supporting structures and load-attaching devices used in conjunction with this
equipment provide an adequate safety factor to handle the rated load plus the weight of the
equipment. Consult the Scaffold Industry Association (SIA) for guidance in safely erecting the
scaffold. If in doubt, consult a qualified structural engineer. This equipment is not to be used for
lifting, supporting, or transporting people or lifting or supporting loads directly over the top of
people. Beta Max, Inc. assumes no responsibility for the incorrect or unsafe use of this equipment.
NOTE: These two warnings, or a facsimile thereof, also appear on the hoist in the
form of a label for reference and should not, under any circumstance, be removed from
the equipment.
