Safety Instructions
WARNING: THE WARNINGS,
CAUTIONS, AND INSTRUC-
TIONS IN THIS INSTRUCTION MANU-
AL CANNOT COVER ALL POSSIBLE
CONDITIONS OR SITUATIONS THAT
COULD OCCUR!
It must be understood
by the operator that common sense
and caution are factors which cannot
be built into this product, but must be
supplied by the operator.
• DO NOT use the equipment when
tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol, or medication. A moment
of inattention while operating this
equipment may result in serious per-
sonal injury.
• Make sure the operator is familiar
with the hoist before being author-
ized to operate it.
• The hoist is designed for manual
operation by one person. Do not at-
tempt to operate the hoist with other
than manual power furnished by one
person.
• DO NOT overload the hoist.
•
WARNING: DO NOT LIFT PER-
SONNEL. DO NOT LIFT LOADS
OVER PEOPLE. DO NOT STAND OR
WALK ON OR UNDER A SUSPEND-
ED LOAD.
Warn people not to enter
the work area.
• Before every use, inspect the hoist
for any sign of loose, broken or
malfunctioning parts and any other
conditions that may affect its safe
operation. Damaged or worn parts
must be immediately replaced by a
qualified person.
- Inspect chain for nicks, gouges,
and any type of deformation or
damage, and check load chain for
lubrication.
- Inspect the load chain for proper
installation of the end stop.
- Inspect hooks for nicks, gouges,
deformation of the throat opening,
wear on saddle or load bearing
point, and twisting.
- Inspect hook latches for proper
operation or damage that does
not allow proper operation.
• DO NOT operate hoist if any wear,
damage or malfunction exists.
• DO NOT attempt to lengthen the
load chain or repair a damaged load
chain. If the load chain is damaged,
it must be immediately replaced by a
qualified person. The new load chain
must have identical specifications in
terms of size, dimensions, welding
and hardening.
• The hoist has to be lubricated regu-
larly before use.
• DO NOT lubricate the brake surfac-
es, the brake has to remain dry.
• DO NOT apply illegitimate connec-
tions of the chain ends (e.g. by a
screw).
• Only lift loads, whose weight is less
or equal to the nominal capacity of
the chain hoist.
• DO NOT lift loads with less than 10%
of the hoist’s nominal capacity.
• DO NOT operate beyond the limits of
the load chain travel.
• DO NOT use the load chain as a sling
to wrap around the load.
• DO NOT side load the hoist. Always
pull in a straight vertical line from
hook to hook in the direction of load-
ing.
• Hoists are designed for lifting loads
vertically and must not be used for
horizontal or angle hoisting.
• Be sure there are no twists in the load
chain and make sure that it is free to
move and will clear obstructions.
• DO NOT insert the hook tip into a
chain link.
• DO NOT tip-load any hook, as this
will exert undue strain in the hook,
resulting in hook failure.
• DO NOT use hoist if hook latch is
missing or malfunctioning.
• Before raising make sure load slings
or other approved attachments are
properly sized, rigged and seated
securely in the hook saddle. Raise
the load only until the load chain is
taut and then recheck the rigging
before continuing to raise the load.
• DO NOT run the load chain over a
sharp corner.
• DO NOT move load in such a manner
as to endanger personnel.
• DO NOT use the hoist in such a way
that could result in shock or impact
loads being applied to the hoist.
• Place yourself in the same position
and in the same angle as the drive
wheel, while pulling the hand chain.
• Ensure that a suspended load does
never swing.
• DO NOT leave the hoist under load
for extended or unattended periods.
• DO NOT continue to operate the hoist
if excessive noise occurs, when the
chain skips, is stuck, blocked or is
overloaded. Do not apply any force
to the hoist, it is designed to lift its
rated capacity when a reasonable
force is exerted.
• Ensure that the lower end of the
hand chain is between 500 mm and
1000 mm above the ground.
• DO NOT use hoist in damp or explo-
sive environments.
• The ambient temperature for the op-
eration must be between -10 °C and
+ 50 °C.
• DO NOT pull the end stop of the load
chain into the hoist; damage can be
caused.
• DO NOT let the load come in contact
with the load chain. Otherwise its
free rotation is obstructed, causing a
twisted chain and/or a blocked load
wheel.
• The hoisting operation should never
be applied to a fixed object.
• Extreme temperatures will lower the
toughness of the hoist. Loads should
be lifted and lowered very slowly
and carefully.
