b. Chemical or toxic environments
Work environments that contain strong acids, bases or other corrosive chemicals in solutions, sprays or vapors
may damage the hoist or auxiliary components. Inspect the unit frequently to detect any damage or change in
functionality of the unit. Chemical damage may be difficult to detect visually and periodic lifeline replacement is
recommended to insure safety.
c. electrical Hazards
Stay away from power lines or other components carrying electrical power. The synthetic rope utilized on the
PHQR series hoist is generally non-conductive, however, hazards still exist around electricity. Remember,
electricity can jump across an air gap and electrocute personnel using the hoist. Contact your local utility to
remove or disconnect the power before working around these components.
d. load Capacity
Do not exceed the hoist capacity of 310 lbs. or 140 kg. (includes people, harness, tools, etc.). Do not carry more
than one person at a time on the lifeline. Overloading the hoist can exceed the design safety factors and could
create hazards.
d. training
Do not allow anyone to use this hoist unless they are trained in its limitations and use. Untrained operators
can expose themselves and others to hazards. Train new operators before using the unit. Review operating
procedures on a regular basis with experienced personnel.
Pelsue PHQR series man-rated hoists are a component in a confined space entry/retrieval system. The hoist and all
auxiliary components must be compatible to prevent creating unexpected hazards. A list of system compatibility require-
ments includes but is not limited to:
1. Anchorage
The hoist is designed to be attached to a Pelsue mounting and support system. These systems do provide the required
anchorage strength for the hoist. When using another system or anchorage method, anchorage points must meet or
exceed the requirements of the applicable standards or local regulations. Qualified people are required to approve non-
standard anchorage systems before they are used.
2. Connectors
Use only approved connectors with sufficient capacity that have an anti-rollout device designed into the snap. Non-
approved connectors can open during use and create unexpected hazards. Do not use them.
3. Personnel Harness
Use only an approved full body harness. Do not use a single belt or strap system. Only a full body harness can provide
the required support for the body to prevent injury.
Pelsue PHQR series man-rated hoists are designed for use in many applications including but not limited to rescue or
confined space entry/retrieval. It is the responsibility of the operator to be familiar with and follow all applicable OSHA
and industry standards on operating guidelines for your project. If you have any questions, consult a qualified person
or call the factory.
When using the hoist, follow this procedure:
1.
Review and follow the Pre-Operation Inspection (Refer to Section 5.3).
2.
Inspect the unit prior to each use. Visually check each component to be sure that there is no damaged or missing
parts. Check that all systems and components function as intended. Do not use the equipment if any problems are
found.
