5. Never lengthen, or make any substitution for the
LUG-ALL reversible handle.
The LUG-ALL reversible handle is designed to bend as a warning
when the hoist is loaded at more than 100% capacity. If the handle
should break through hoist overload or improper use, the LUG-ALL
must not be used until a LUG-ALL replacement handle is obtained.
Makeshift handles, or handle extensions are dangerous. They can
increase the leverage so that the hoist may easily exceed its capacity
without the user’s knowledge and result in physical harm.
6. Keep the hoist cable or web strap free at all times
and never let it come in contact with any other
surface.
Always rig your LUG-ALL so that it hangs freely and can move from
side to side. The cable or web strap should hang in a straight line
between the top hook and the load hook. Never jam the frame out of
the line as this subjects it to extra stress for uneven loading. Cable
or web strap must be in a straight line to assure even wrapping on
the drum.
Do not snag or pull the cable or web strap over sharp or rough edges
as this will break the wires. Never bend the cable or web strap around
any object or surface.
7. Observe safe rigging practices.
Become familiar with proper rigging practices before you operate
your LUG-ALL. Consult the illustrations on pages 6 and 7 to protect
against improper use of your LUG-ALL. All LUG-ALL ratings are
based on freely suspended loads. LUG-ALLs cannot be safely used
for side loading.
When rigging, always make sure that the load is securely seated in
the throat of the hook before hoisting.
8. Stand clear of all loads. Never leave an unattended
load suspended in air.
Most safety instructions are merely common sense. Stay alert and
stay safe.
9. Never use your LUG-ALL as a tow line.
Your LUG-ALL must never be used for external loading. The
LUG-ALL is designed only for applications where the safety handle
is the controlling force in load movement. The safety handle must
always be manually engaged for safe operation of your LUG-ALL.
