and pull the hook away from the hoist while
pressing the lower part of the rocker switch.
Always leave at least three turns of the wire
rope on the reel.

block to your load. Make sure the safety
latch on the hook closes completely before
lifting. Do not load the hook in front of the
safety latch (Figure 5), and do not use the
wire rope as a sling (Figure 6).
Make sure the hook’s safety
latch closes before lifting.

raise the load.
Maintenance
Unplug the hoist from the power supply
before doing any maintenance.
Inspect the hoist before each use. If cracking or
distortion appears in the frame, do not use the
hoist. Inspect the hooks – if they show wear,
twisting or any damage, replace them.
Keep hook latch pins and wire rope lightly oiled.
Inspect wire rope for kinks, corrosion, fraying,
etc. If corrosion is apparent, clean with a stiff
wire brush and lightly oil. If wire rope is
damaged or badly corroded, replace it.
Keep hoist clean of dirt, grease and water.
Replacing Wire Rope
NOTE: Replacement of the wire rope should be
done by trained service personnel. Any re-
assembly of parts of the hoist must be done
correctly to ensure safety and proper function of
the device.
