OPERATION (CONTINUED)
Pull out on handwheel,
as shown in Figure 3A.
The handwheel will
automatically rotate
counter clockwise
to put the unit in free
chain mode.
Do not take up the load
chain to the point where
the chain stop or lower
hook block becomes
jammed against the frame.
ATTACHING THE LOAD
Attach the lower hook to the load so that it is seated in the
bowl of the hook and is not bearing against the tip of the
hook or latch, and the latch is tight against the hook tip.
Do not wrap the chain around the load and hook onto itself
as a choker chain sling or bring the load in contact with the
hoist. Doing this will result in the loss of the swivel effect of
the hook which could cause twisted chain and a jammed
liftwheel. Also, the chain may be damaged at the hook.
Make sure the upper and lower hooks are in a straight line
and the frame is free to swivel on the upper hook.
TO PULL OR LIFT THE LOAD
While holding the load end of the chain, rotate
the hand wheel clockwise, as shown in Figure
3B. The hand wheel will “snap” back in place
re-engaging the hoist gearing.
Move directional lever to the load position.
Operate lever in up and down motion to lift
the load.
When pulling or lifting, move the load only
enough to slightly load the unit, then check
to be sure that the attachments to the hooks
and load are firmly seated. Continue movement
only after you are assured the load is free of all
obstructions.
The hoist has been designed for hand powered
operation only. Do not use an extension on the
lever. Any pull force greater than 67.5lbf for the
0.75 tonne unit, 96lbf for the 1.5 tonne, 103lbf
for 3 tonne, and 116lbf for 6 tonne unit is an
indication of either an overload or an incorrectly
maintained unit.
TO LOOSEN OR LOWER LOAD
Move directional lever to the unload position. Again, operate lever in an
up and down motion to increase the distance between hooks and thus
loosen or lower the load.
LOCKED BRAKE
If a hoist which is under load is suddenly relieved of the load by
lifting the load off of the lower hook by some other means or
pulling down walls, the brake will lock.
The brake will also lock if the lower hook block is pulled tightly
against the frame.
To unlock the brake, turn the directional lever to the unload
position and pull on the lever sharply.
Turning the Free Chaining Knob with
a load attached will allow the load to
release and may cause injury.
TO AVOID INJURY:
Never turn the Free Chaining Knob
when the lever hoist is under load.
If the unit is not rigged in a straight
line hook to hook manner, and if the
frame is not free to swivel, lever pull
may break frame and cause physical
injury and loss of load.
TO AVOID INJURY:
Rig the unit in a straight line hook to
hook manner and keep frame free to
swivel (See Figure 4).
Power operation may cause structural damage or premature wear that in turn
may cause a part to break and allow the load to fall.
TO AVOID INJURY:
Operate the CM Bandit lever hoist using hand power only!
Allowing the load to bear against the hook latch and/
or hook tip can result in loss of load.
TO AVOID INJURY:
Do not allow the load to bear against the hook latch and/or
hook tip. Apply load to hook bowl or saddle only.
