Improper operation of a hoist can create a potentially
hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in
death or serious injury. To avoid such a potentially hazardous
situation, THE OPERATOR SHALL:
a.
NOT
operate a damaged, malfunctioning or unusually
performing hoist.
b. NOT operate the hoist until you have thoroughly read and
understood this Operating, Maintenance and Parts Manual.
c. NOT operate a hoist which has been modified without the
manufacturer’s approval or without certification that it is in
conformity with ANSI/AMSE B30 volumes.
d. NOT lift more than rated load for the hoist.
e. NOT use hoist with twisted, kinked, damaged, or worn load
chain.
f. NOT use the hoist to lift, support, or transport people.
g. NOT lift loads over people.
h. NOT operate a hoist unless all persons are and remain clear
of the supported load.
i. NOT operate unless load is centered under hoist.
j.
NOT
attempt to lengthen the load chain or repair damaged
load chain.
k. Protect the hoist’s load chain from weld splatter or other
damaging contaminants.
l. NOT operate hoist when it is restricted from forming a
straight line from hook to hook in the direction of loading.
m. NOT use load chain as a sling, or wrap chain around load.
n. NOT apply the load to the tip of the hook or to the hook
latch.
o.
NOT
apply load unless load chain is properly seated in the
chain sprocket(s).
p.
NOT
apply load if bearing prevents equal loading on all load
supporting chains.
q. NOT operate beyond the limits of the load chain travel.
r. NOT leave load supported by the hoist unattended unless
specific precautions have been taken.
s. NOT allow the load chain or hook to be used as an electrical
or welding ground.
t. NOT allow the load chain or hook to be touched by a live

load holding action is secure before continuing.
z. Shut down a hoist that malfunctions or performs unusually
and report such malfunction.
aa. Make sure hoist limit switches function properly.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Each Electric Chain Hoist is built in accordance with the specifications
contained herein and at the time of manufacture complies with
our interpretation of applicable sections of *American Society of
Mechanical Engineers Code (ASME) B30.16 “Overhead Hoists,” the
National Electrical Code (ANSI/NFPA 70) and the Occupational Safety
and Health Act (OSHA). Since OSHA states the National Electrical Code
applies to all electric hoists, installers are required to provide current
overload protection and grounding on the branch circuit section in
keeping with the code. Check each installation for compliance with the
application, operation and maintenance sections of these articles.
The safety laws for elevators, lifting of people and for dumbwaiters
specify construction details that are not incorporated into
the hoists. For such applications, refer to the requirements of
applicable state and local codes, and the American National
Safety Code for elevators, dumbwaiters, escalators and moving
walks (ASME A17.1). Columbus McKinnon Corporation cannot be
responsible for applications other than those for which COFFING
equipment is intended. DO NOT use for guided loads.

THIS SYMBOL POINTS OUT IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS WHICH IF NOT FOLLOWED COULD
ENDANGER THE PERSONAL SAFETY AND/OR PROPERTY
OF YOURSELF AND OTHERS. READ AND FOLLOW ALL
INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL AND ANY PROVIDED
WITH THE EQUIPMENT BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO
OPERATE YOUR HOIST.
