Capstan Hoist Operating Instructions
Ten Safety Recommendations (Cont.)
ROPE HOOK IS STANDARD...
for the Series 90 hoists (except 3,000-lb. hydraulic units with
bayonet adapter for collapsible reels).
Position the fall line so it will not pull over the end of the drum.
Should this happen and the hook catches the rope, stop the
hoist, secure the load and correct the rope position on the
drum.
Never remove the rope hook. It is installed with a permanent
fastener to prevent removal. Removal can cause personnel
injury or allow rope to feed off the end of the drum which
could result in dropping the load.
SEVEN
AN OPTIONAL ROPE LOCK ATTACHMENT IS AVAILABLE...
for the Series 90 hoists, which allows the operator to hold a
load in position without having to tie knots or hold the rope.
With the fall line fed through the rope lock, the device
automatically grips the rope to hold the load whenever the
operator stops pulling.
A capstan hoist is a versatile tool for lifting, or pulling heavy
loads. A few minutes of thought and preparation will make
your lifting jobs safe and efficient.
