OPERATION
• Always keep your hoist clean and store in a clean, dry location.
Place the selector switch on the handle in the center neutral
position (FIG 6). This will allow free-wheel mode. Take up slack by
pulling on loose or free end of chain.
• When finished with freewheel mode (Neutral Position), switch
selector switch to UP or DOWN to re-engage lifting and lowering
modes.
• Move selector switch to the UP position. Ratchet the lever to
raise or pull the load. Do not overload the lever hoist.
• To release or lower the load, turn selector switch on the handle
to the DOWN position and ratchet the handle.
• During pulling operations, the operator should stand near the
side of the top hook on the opposite side from the lever. If the
hand should slip off the lever, the lever will spring back away from
the operator.
• During lifting operations, do not stand under the load.
• Do not use an extension on the lever (FIG 7).
• Do not use a foot to apply pressure to the lever (FIG 8).
• Prevent the chain from dragging over sharp edges or corners.
These will cause links to weaken, bend, or break, (FIG 9).
• When using a wire rope sling, the puller must be applied along a
straight line parallel to the surface on which it is resting (FIG 10).
• When lifting loads, hook the load with slings. Do not use the lever
hoist chain as a sling (FIG 11).
• Both ends of a sling or rope must be completely on the inside of
the safety latch before pulling or lifting the load. Do not put one
end on the inside of the latch and leave the other end on the hook
end outside the latch.

CAUTION :
Avoid lifting one load with two hoists. If this is
unavoidable, apply equal weight to both hoists and use hoists with
the proper lift capacity. Capacity of each hoist must be equal to the
total load to be lifted.
