4. OPERATION
4.1 Introduction
This hoist has been designed for the vertical lifting and lowering of loads, by hand, under normal atmospheric
conditions of the work place. However, since dealing with heavy loads may involve unexpected danger, all of
the Safety Rules must be followed.
Working Environment Safety: the operator must be aware of the following points whilst using the hoist.
1. The operator must have a clear and unobstructed view of the entire travel area before operating the
hoist. When this is not possible, additional personnel must serve as scouts in the nearby area to assist.
2. The operator must check the entire travel area is safe and secure before operating the hoist.
5. INSPECTION

There are two types of inspection, the
Daily Inspection
