HOIST WITH LOW HEADROOM TROLLEY
This unit should be moved by pushing on the suspended
load or by pulling the empty hook. However, the unit can also
be moved by pulling on the control station since an internal
steel cable extends the length of the control cord and is
anchored to the hoist and to the control station.
HOIST WITH MOTOR DRIVEN TROLLEY
This unit should be moved by operating the controls marked
(Forward) and (Reverse) in control station. Unless altered by
the erector, depressing (Forward) control will move the hoist
toward motor housing end. Anticipate the stopping point
and allow trolley to coast to a smooth stop. Reversing or
“plugging” to stop trolley causes overheating of motor and
swaying of load.
SAFE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS AND
PROCEDURES
For safety precautions and a list of Do’s and Do Not’s for
safe operation of hoists, refer to page 3.
1. Permit only competent personnel to operate unit.
2. When preparing to lift a load, be sure that the
attachments to the hook are fi rmly seated in hook saddle.
Avoid off center loading of any kind, especially loading on
the point of hook.
3. DO NOT allow the load to bear against the hook latch.
The latch is to help maintain the hook in position while the
chain is slack before taking up slack chain.
Allowing the load to bear against the hook latch and/or hook tip can
result in loss of load.
TO AVOID INJURY:
Do not allow the load and/or attachments to bear against
the hook latch and/or hook tip. Apply load to hook bowl or
saddle only.
4. DO NOT wrap the load chain around the load and hook
onto itself as a choker chain.
Doing this will result in:
a.
The loss of the swivel effect of the hook
which could result in twisted chain and a
jammed lift wheel.
b.
The upper limit switch, if so equipped, is
by-passed and the load could hit the hoist.
c.
The chain could be damaged at the hook.
5. Before lifting load, check for twists in the load chain.
On double and triple reeved units, a twist can occur if
the lower hook block has been capsized between the
strands of chain. Reverse the capsize to remove twist.
6. Stand clear of all loads and avoid moving a load over
the heads of other personnel. Warn personnel of your
intentions to move a load in their area.
7. DO NOT leave the load suspended in the air unattended.
8. DO NOT use this or any other overhead materials
handling equipment for lifting persons.
9. DO NOT load hoist beyond the rated capacity shown on
ID plate. When in doubt, use the next larger capacity CM
Lodestar Hoist.
10. Warn personnel of your intention to lift a load in the area.
Tie off the load with auxiliary chains or cables before
access to the area beneath the load is permitted.
11. Take up a slack load chain carefully and start load easily
to avoid shock and jerking of hoist load chain. If there is
any evidence of overloading, immediately lower the load
and remove the excess load.
12. When lifting, raise the load only enough to clear the fl oor
or support and check to be sure that the attachments
to the hook and load are fi rmly seated. Continue lift only
after you are assured the load is free of all obstructions.
13. DO NOT allow the load to swing or twist while hoisting.
14. Never operate the hoist when fl ammable materials or
vapors are present. Electrical devices produce arcs or
sparks that can cause a fi re or explosion.
15. STAY ALERT! Watch what you are doing and use
common sense. Do not use the hoist when you are tired,
distracted or under the infl uence of drugs, alcohol or
medication causing diminished control.
