PRECAUTIONS
• During lifting operations, do not stand under the load.
• Do not use any extension on the lever handle. Do not
use your foot to apply pressure to the lever handle.
• Prevent the chain from dragging over sharp edges or
corners. This will cause links to weaken, bend,
or break.
• When connecting to a wire rope sling, the lever hoist
must be applied along a straight line parallel to the
surface on which it is resting. See Figure 5.
Figure 5
• When lifting loads, hook the load with slings.
Do not use the lever hoist chain as a sling
(Figure 6).
• Both ends of a sling or rope must be completely on
the inside of the safety latch before pulling or lifting
the load. Do not put one end on the inside of the latch
and leave the other end on the hook end outside the
latch.
