GENERAL INFORMATION
This manual contains important information to help you properly
install, operate and maintain your Series 622 Hoist for maximum
performance, economy and safety.
Please study its contents thoroughly before putting your hoist into
operation. By practicing correct operating procedures and by car-
rying out the recommended preventive maintenance suggestions,
you will be assured of long, dependable and safe service.
After you have completely familiarized yourself with the contents
of this manual, we recommend that you carefully file it for future
reference.
The information herein is directed to the proper use, care and
maintenance of the Series 622 Hoist and does not comprise a
handbook on the broad subject of rigging.
Rigging can be defined as the process of lifting and moving heavy
loads using hoists and other mechanical equipment. Skill ac-
quired through specialized experience and study is essential to
safe rigging operations. For rigging information, we recommend
consulting a standard textbook on the subject.
BUDGIT REPAIR/REPLACEMENT POLICY
All Budgit (Tugit) Series 622 Hoists are inspected and perform-
ance tested prior to shipment. If any properly maintained hoist
develops a performance problem, within one year of shipment,
due to a material or workmanship defect, as verified by Budgit, re-
pair or replacement of the unit will be made to the original pur-
chaser without charge. This repair/replacement policy applies
only to Series 622 Hoists installed, maintained and operated as
outlined in this manual, and specifically excludes hoists subject to
normal wear, abuse, improper installation, improper or inadequate
maintenance, hostile environmental effects and unauthorized re-
pairs/modifications.
We reserve the right to change materials or design if, in our opin-
ion, such changes will improve our product. Abuse, repair by an
unauthorized person, or use of non-BUDGIT replacement parts
voids the guarantee and could lead to dangerous operation. For
full Terms of Sale, see Sales Order Acknowledge-ment. Also,
refer to the back cover for Limitations of Warranties, Remedies
and Damages, and Indemnification and Safe Operation.
UNPACKING
After opening the carton, the hoist should be carefully inspected
for damage which may have occurred during shipment or han-
dling. Check the hoist frame for dents or cracks and inspect the
load chain for nicks and gouges. If shipping damage has oc-
curred, refer to the packing list envelope on the carton for claim
procedure.
GENERAL INFORMATION
After mounting and before placing in service, check the
hoist for proper operation. Before operating the 3, 5, and
10 ton units, make sure that all strands of chain are straight
and have no twists (due to capsized hook). If the chain is
twisted, reverse capsize. To operate the hoist, pull on the
hand chain as indicated below.

Operate the hoist with no load and then a light load of approxi-
mately 50 pounds (23 Kg.) times the number of load supporting
chains to make sure it operates properly and the brake holds the
load when the hand chain is released; then operate with a rated
load as shown on the capacity plate.
SAFETY PROCEDURES
1. The hoist must always be rigged to lift in a straight line from
hook to hook. The hoist must always be free to swivel on the
upper hook. Under no condition should the hoist frame be al-
lowed to bear on any support when in use as this would cause
bending of the hook or frame and damage the unit.
2. When preparing to lift or move a load, be sure that the at-
tachments to both hooks are firmly seated in the saddles of the
hooks. Avoid off center loading of any kind especially loading
on the tip of the hook. Also observe that the chain hangs
straight (without twist) from hoist to lower hook.
3. When lifting, raise the load only enough to clear the floor or
support, and check to be sure brake will hold load and that at-
tachments to the load are firmly seated. Continue the lift only
after you are assured the load is free of all obstructions.
4.Do not load beyond the rated capacity of the hoist. Rated
capacity can be:
Since these hand chain pulls can easily be applied by one per-
son, under no circumstances should more than one person op-
erate the hoist hand chain. Overloading can cause immediate
failure of some load carrying parts or result in damage causing
future failure at less than rated capacity. When in doubt, use
the next larger capacity Budgit hoist.

WARNING
Operating the 3, 5, and 10 ton hoists in the lifting direction with
the hook block in contact with the frame and/or hoist hanger
may break the chain and allow the load to drop.
TO AVOID INJURY:
Stop operating in the lifting direction when the hook block con-
tacts the hoist frame and/or hanger, as noted by sudden in-
crease in hand chain pull or tipping of the hook block.
WARNING
Operating a unit with obvious external damage may cause load
to drop and that may result in personal injury and/or property
damage.
TO AVOID INJURY:
Carefully check unit for external damage prior to installation.
