Polarised Plugs (for North America only) To reduce the risk of electric shock,
this equipment has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other).
This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit
fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.

Electric Hoist Safety Instructions

• Before each use; inspect the steel cable for imperfections and

weaknesses. Do not use if the cable is frayed, kinked or wrapped
improperly around the reel. If the cable requires replacing do not replace
with a cable of lesser strength. Always leave at least three turns of the
cable on the spool to ensure that the hoist is able to lift the stated weight
capacity

• Inspect the operator’s controller before attempting to use the hoist. Do

not use if the controller is damaged. Avoid operating the hoist in damp
or wet conditions

• Stand clear of any item being lifted by the hoist or underneath any item

being suspended by the hoist

• Do not hold the steel cable while lifting or lowering any item
• Never operate this tool alone, always have an extra person to help guide

the object being lifted

• Observe the maximum capacities and height limitations mentioned in the

specifications. Never exceed the figures

• Ensure the hoist is mounted to a beam which has a maximum capacity

which is double the capacity of the hoist. The beam should be at least
43mm in diameter and have a wall thickness of at least 3mm

• The hoist is not designed for continuous use and the motor has an in-

built thermostat to prevent overheating and overloading. If the thermostat
is activated, the ‘cool down’ period will be approximately 5 minutes. If the
motor is exposed to direct sunlight it will severely reduce its operating
time before the thermostat will activate the ‘cool down’ period

• The electric hoist is fitted with an automatic shut off when it has reached

its highest point and lowest point. The height limiter is activated when the
Stop Block reaches the Up Limit Lever. The lowering limiter is activated
when the cable reaches the lowest possible point and the cable is still
safe to hold the maximum load, the cable then engages with the Down
Limit Lever.

• Always ensure that the unit is wound as shown:

• Never lift people or animals using this hoist. When operating the hoist

always keep bystanders and animals away from the load.

Cargo Sling Safety

Safe use of textile safety equipment

• All cargo slings should be inspected before use by a competent person
• Before using the cargo sling ensure that the rating is suitable for the

intended task

• The selected cargo sling should be both strong enough and of the correct

length for the mode of use

• Secure the load carefully, taking into account the size of the load and the

height being lifted

• Where two or more cargo slings are used to secure a load, they should

be identical, preferably from the same batch

• Cargo slings should be protected against friction, sharp edges or any

surface likely to cause damage

NOTE:

Cargo slings should never be pulled from under loads.

• Never knot or twist a cargo sling beyond that of a choker lift
• Avoid snatch or shock loading as the WLL can easily be exceeded in such

circumstances

• Avoid contact with heat and hot surfaces
• Never trap a cargo sling under a load; crushing can seriously damage

a cargo sling

• Do not use slings to transport people or allow people to pass under a

suspended load

• On completion of the lifting operation, return the cargo sling to secure

storage

• Prior to placing in storage, inspect the cargo sling for any damage which

may have occurred during use

• Cargo slings which have become wet in use or as a result of cleaning

should be hung up and allowed to dry naturally

• Cargo slings should be stored at room temperature in clean, dry, and

well-ventilated conditions

• Do not store or use cargo slings for extended periods in direct sunlight or

sources of UV radiation

• Never attempt to repair cargo slings; dispose of immediately if damaged

or visibly worn

• A cargo sling that has a missing or unreadable label and is unidentifiable

should be disposed of

• Checks should also include any fittings and lifting accessories used in

association with the cargo sling

• Heat or friction damage is indicated by the fibres taking on a glazed

appearance; in extreme cases, fusion of the fibres can occur. If this is
visible the cargo sling should be removed from service

• At very low temperatures, when moisture is present, ice can form

within the sling and there is a risk the ice will act as a cutting agent and
damage the sling fibres

• All cargo slings should be part of a regular examination regime. Always

follow national regulations or guidelines on examination frequency and
maximum allowed working lifespan for slings. Examination frequency
should be related to the sling frequency of use.

Intended Use

Electric, mains-powered hoist with push-button remote control for slow,
controlled, straight lifting and lowering of objects up to 500kg max. For
non-commercial, light to medium duty use ONLY.

Unpacking Your Tool
