Installation Instructions
1)
The supporting structure the hoist is mounted to
(including trolley, monorail, or crane) must be
designed to withstand the loads and forces
imposed by the hoist for the rated load.
2)
Properly seat the suspension hook on the
supporting structure at its intended load bearing
point (see the left side of diagram).
Do not allow the hook hitch to support any part
of the load.
Do not apply the load to the point of the hook
(shown in the diagram on the right side.)
Basic Safety Information
• Do not lift more than rated load. Be
aware of dynamic loading! Sudden load
movement may briefly create excess
load causing product failure.
• Do not operate hoist with twisted,
kinked, or damaged chain. Inspect
chain carefully before every use.
• Do not operate a damaged or
malfunctioning hoist. Inspect hoist
carefully and test operation before
every use.
• Do not lift people or lift loads over
people. Falling loads can injure or kill
people.
• Do not operate hoist with anything
other than manual power (by hand).
• The warnings, precautions, and
instructions discussed in this instruction
manual cannot cover all possible
conditions and situations that may
occur. It must be understood by the
operator that common sense and
caution are factors which cannot be
built into this product, but must be
supplied by the operator.
Installing Specific Safety
Information
• The supporting structure the hoist is

operator to move and stay clear of the
load.
• Where the slack chain hanging from
the hoist may create a hazard, use an
appropriate chain container (not
provided) to contain the excess chain.
• Inspect the hoist as explained in
Frequent Inspection section after
installation but before use.
