Section 5.0 will address the basic operation and usage of a Pelsue PHQR Series Man-Rated hoist. Throughout this
section and during operation of the PHQR hoist, the operating safety section of this manual should be constantly
referred to and the points addressed therein should be continually adhered to during all operation. These points have
been repeated below.
1. Read, understand and follow the User Manual and signs on
the hoist before using, maintaining or inspecting the
equipment.
2. Train all operators before allowing them to use the hoist. An
untrained operator exposes themselves, bystanders
and workers to possible serious injury or death.
3. Visually inspect the hoist and all auxiliary components
and equipment before using. Correct any problems before
using the equipment.
4. Securely anchor the hoist before using.
5. Use only certified anchor and connector components in
your system.
6. Use only an approved full body harness for the workers.
7. Always work in teams. One person works in the confined
space and the other one pays out the line and reels it in.
8. Do not exceed 310 lbs.(140 kg.) on the line during
operation. (Including tool belts, etc.).
9. Achieve 4 complete wraps of rope on the drum before load-
ing the device to its full capacity.
10. Establish a regular training program for new and
experienced workers.
11. Establish a detailed inspection program for your equipment
and document the findings. Return the equipment to the
manufacturer for re-work if any problems are found.
12. Plan your work program before starting. Have the required
people, equipment and procedures available to do the
job.
13. Do not use the equipment around physical or e n v i r o n -
mental hazards. This list includes but is not limited to:
Corrosion that may affect the structural
integrity of the lifeline or other components.
Chemicals which can degrade components
in a manner not visually-indentifiable.
Toxic gases: Rescuers or workers can be
killed in toxic environments.
Heat or elevated temperatures.
Moving machinery: Workers or auxiliary
equipment can be contacted by or pulled into
moving components.
Sharp edges: Workers or the rescue
equipment can be injured by or damaged by
sharp edges or components.
Electrical hazards: Stay away from power
lines or components carrying electrical
power.
Overload: Do not exceed 310 lbs.(140 kg.)

5.1 - New Operators or Owners
5.0 - Operation
The Pelsue PHQR Series confined space entry/retrieval hoist is designed to attach to a person (entrant) and allow them
to enter a confined space and assist in exiting in an emergency situation if required. Every new operator must read,
understand and follow the instructions in the manual. No one should be allowed to use the equipment without training.
The training should be reviewed with experienced operators on a regular basis. At regular intervals, perform a detailed
inspection of the equipment and document the results. Remove from service if deficiencies are found. Alterations or
misuse of this equipment or failure to follow instructions may result in serious injury or death.
It is the responsibility of the owner’s organization or operator to read this manual and to train all other operators before
they start working with the equipment. Follow all safety instructions exactly. Safety is everyone’s business. By following
recommended procedures, a safe working environment is provided for the operator, bystanders and the area around
the work site. Untrained operators are not qualified to operate the equipment.
Many features incorporated into this equipment are the result of suggestions made by customers like you. Read this
manual carefully to learn how to operate the equipment safely and how to set it to perform as intended. By following the
operating instructions in conjunction with a good maintenance program, your winch will provide many years of trouble
free service.
