WARNING
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.
LOCKED BRAKE
The lever hoist will automatically change from the free-chaining
condition to the brake locked condition when a load is applied.
Apply the load with one of the following two methods:
a. Turn the guide handle clockwise until the brake locks from the
force of the load.
b.
Pull firmly on the stop grip until the brake locks from the force
of the load (See Figure 5).
Next, turn the selector lever to the “UP” position and hoist or pull
by manipulating the operating handle.

WARNING
If the unit is not rigged in a straight line hook to hook, and if the
frame is not free to swivel, the lever pull may break the frame
and cause physical injury and loss of load.
TO AVOID INJURY:
Rig the unit in a straight line hook to hook and ensure the frame
swivels freely (See Figure 5).
