•
Place the selector switch on the handle in the
center neutral position (Figure 6). Then grasp
ring behind handwheel with one hand and
rotate handwheel clockwise with other hand.
This will allow free-wheel mode. (NOTE: Chain
will only free-wheel when there is no load.)
Take up slack by pulling on loose or free end of
chain, or by turning handwheel.
•
When finished with freewheel mode, rotate
handwheel counterclockwise to re-engage
lifting and lowering modes.

•
Move selector switch to the UP position.
Ratchet the lever to raise or pull the load. Do
not overload the lever hoist.
•
To release or lower the load, turn selector
switch on the handle to the DOWN position
and ratchet the handle.
Avoid lifting one load with two hoists. If this is
unavoidable, apply equal weight to both hoists and
use hoists with the proper lift capacity.
Capacity of
each
hoist must be equal to the total load to be
lifted.

Precautions
•
During pulling operations, the operator
should stand near the side of the top hook
on the opposite side from the lever. If the
hand should slip off the lever, the lever will
spring back away from the operator.
•
During lifting operations, do not stand under
the load.
•
Do not use an extension on the lever (Figure
7).
•
Do not use a foot to apply pressure to the
lever (Figure 8).
•
Prevent the chain from dragging over sharp
edges or corners. These will cause links to
weaken, bend, or break, (Figure 9).
•
When using a wire rope sling, the puller
must be applied along a straight line parallel
to the surface on which it is resting (Figure
10).
