IMpORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

DANGER
DO NOT EXCEED RATED CAPACITY.
INTERMITTENT USE ONLY - COOL BETWEEN USES.
DO NOT
use hoist for lifting/moving people or live animals.
A minimum of five wraps of cable around the drum barrel is necessary
for pulling and holding the rated load. The cable clamp is not designed
to hold the load without the 5 wraps of cable around the drum.
(usually marked red on the drum end of the cable)

DANGER
Keep yourself and others a SAFE DISTANCE to the side of the cable
when under tension.
NEVER stand under or near a cable under load.
NEVER touch or ‘jog’ a rope under load.
NEVER
swing or twist a rope under load.

DANGER
DO NOT exceed maximum lift rating. Avoid “shock loading” by using
the remote lead switch intermittently to take up the slack in the wire
rope. “Shock loading” can far exceed the rated capacity for the wire
rope and drum and will result in damaging hoist and brake. By doing
so will void any warranty.

DANGER
NEVER
cut, weld, or modify any part of the hoist or cable. By doing so
will void any warranty

DANGER
ALWAYS use factory approved mounting hardware, components, and
accessories
NEVER weld mounting bolts.

DANGER
Failure to read and understand these warnings may result in personal
injury and/or property damage.
Always use gloves to protect hands when handling any type or cable/
rope. Never let the cable slide through your hands.
NEVER connect the cable back to itself.
No modifications, alterations, or deviation to the hoist are authorized
by the manufacturer and MUST NOT be made. By doing so will void
any warranty.

DANGER
If the motor stalls DO NOT maintain hoisting. Hoists are designed
and made for intermittent use and should be used in conjunction with
their duty cycles.

NOTICE
The hoist and its all-derivative types are rated at rated capacity when
spooling the first rope layer on the drum. Overloading can damage
the hoist / motor / or wire rope.
For loads over 70% of rated lift, we recommend the use of the pulley
block / snatch block to double the wire rope line and reduce the
strain. This will aid in two ways:
It will reduce the number of rope layers on the drum and reduce the
load on the wire rope by as much as 50%. When doubling the line back
to the hoist, always attach to the frame or another load bearing point..

NOTICE
Get to know your hoist before you need to use it. We recommend
that you set up a few test runs to familiarize yourself with rigging
techniques; the sounds your hoist makes under various loads and the
way the cable spools on the drum, etc.
INSPECT the wire rope and equipment before each use. A
frayed or damaged rope must be replaced immediately. Use
only manufacturer’s identical replacement rope with the exact
specifications. (Ropes are not covered by any warranty offered)
INSPECT the hoist installation and bolts to ensure that all bolts are
tight before each operation or periodically.

NOTICE
Store the remote control lead in a safe place.
Never connect the hoist cable back to itself. This will cause cable to
damage. Always use a pulley, snatch block, sling or chain of suitable
strength as shown in the illustrations.

NOTICE
Any hoist that appears to be faulty, damaged, worn, or operates
abnormally MUST BE REMOVED FROM SERVICE UNTIL REPAIRED,
REPLACED OR OVERHAULED. It is recommended that the necessary
repairs ARE made by a manufacturer’s authorized repair facility ONLY.

CAUTION
When using the tool, basic safety precautions should always be
followed to reduce the risk of personal injury and damage to the
equipment. Read all these instructions before using this tool!
