these safety warnings may result in injury to you or others, or damage to the hoist or other property.
A. UNPACKING YOUR HOIST

- Check assembled parts (splice plates, bolts, engine mounting, pulleys, hoist cable, etc.) for proper
tightness and fit before using the hoist, and during frequent periods of use, be certain the equipment
is in safe working condition. Recheck for bolt tightness after every 4 hours of operation.
E. TRANSPORTING

To avoid damage, handle hoist component parts with care when transporting. Secure hoist to truck bed with
cord rope or bungee cord. Damaged parts MAY make hoist not SAFE to operate. NOTE: Transporting hoist

BRACING YOUR HOIST
- Never place or operate the hoist on a slippery surface and make certain it is properly secured at

or solid surface at the correct angle as described herein.
