UNPACKING INFORMATION
After removing the hoist from the carton, check to
be sure there has been no damage in shipment.
Before cutting the cord ties on multiple-reeved
units, be sure that all strands of chain are straight
with no twist (due to a capsized hook block). If
length of lift is to be modified, follow disassembly
and assembly instructions for correct procedure.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
After mounting and before placing in service,
check the hoist for proper operation. On multi-
reeved units, be sure that all strands of chain are
straight with no twist (due to a capsized hook
block).
The CM Cyclone Hand Hoist must always be rigged
to lift in a straight line from hook to hook (see
Figure 4). The hoist must always be free to swivel
on the upper hook. Under no condition should the
hoist be allowed to bear on any support when in
use as this would cause bending of the hook or
frame and damage the unit.
HOOKS
Type of hooks supplied on the Cyclone Hoists are
shown in Figure 3.
CM REPAIR/REPLACEMENT POLICY
All Columbus McKinnon (CM) Cyclone Hand Hoists
and Low Headroom Trolley Hoists are thoroughly
inspected and performance tested prior to shipment.
If any properly maintained Cyclone Hoist develops a
performance problem due to a material or workman-
ship defect, as verified by CM or an authorized service
station, repair or replacement of the unit will be
made to the original purchaser without charge. This
repair/replacement policy applies only to Cyclone
Hoists installed, maintained and operated as outlined
in this manual, and specifically excludes parts subject
to normal wear, abuse, improper installation, improp-
er or inadequate maintenance, hostile environmental
effects, and unauthorized repairs/modifications.
We reserve the right to change materials or design if
in our opinion, such changes will improve our prod-
uct. Abuse, repair by an unauthorized person, or use
of non-CM replacement parts voids the guarantee and
could lead to dangerous operation. For full Terms of
Sale, see Sales Order Acknowledgement. Also, refer to
the back cover for Limitations of Warranties, Remedies
and Damages and, Indemnification and Safe Operation.
