Avoid loose garments and jewellery that could
catch in moving parts, tie back long hair.
Prevent hook overcrowding, with a ‘Bow’
shackle. Join lifting equipment with a ‘D’
shackle. Protect sharp edges to prevent load damage.
Use this equipment for vertical lifts only and
use on a level area able to take the combined
weight of the load and the equipment.
May be used at any angle for lifting, dragging
or pulling. Anchor to a safe, secure point able
to take the load force applied. Allow for contact
friction if dragging.
Ensure the load is balanced, stable and that
personnel stand clear of the raised load.
Use this type of equipment only on structures that
are able to bear its weight and its load.
Make sure you know how to operate this
equipment safely and are aware of its limitations
before you use it.
It is both the hirer’s and the operator’s responsibility
to perform a risk assessment before using this
equipment.

is warned of what you are doing.
SAFETY WARNING
This equipment MUST NOT be used to carry or
lift personnel.
GENERAL SAFETY
Do not shock load this equipment.
Never leave the equipment loaded or unattended.
Make sure the landing area is unobstructed and
able to accept the load in size and weight.
Never exceed the equipment’s safe working load,
see chart.
Always switch OFF and unplug the machine
before making adjustments to it.
Never carry or pull the equipment by its power
supply cable.
Check the condition of the equipment before use.
If it shows signs of damage or excessive wear, return it to
your local HSS Lift & Shift Depot.
HSS Electric Hoists must be provided with a
suitable 110V generated supply,
or powered from
the mains via a suitable 110V transformer (minimum
3kVA tool rating).
If the equipment fails,
or if its power supply cable or plug
becomes damaged,
return it.
Never try to repair it yourself.
Keep cables out of harm’s way,
and clear of the work area
.
Extension leads should be avoided, however, if
you have no alternative ensure it is fully unwound
and loosely coiled, away from the equipment.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Never run leads through water, over sharp edges or
where they could trip someone.
Using electrical equipment in very damp or wet
conditions can be dangerous.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, always
use a suitable RCD
(Residual Current
-
Operated
Device) available from your local HSS Lift & Shift Depot.
Ensure the power socket is switched OFF before
plugging into the power supply.
Most HSS pneumatic hoists require a 125 cfm
compressor to run them. The air connections used
are the claw type quick action couplings.
If the tool fails, or if its hose or coupling gets
damaged, return it.
Never try to repair it yourself.
Keep the air hose/s out of harm’s way,
keep it clear
of moving parts
.
Never run them through water, over
sharp edges or where they could trip someone.
Never carry or pull the equipment by its air hose.
Never allow compressed air to travel down an air
hose which is not connected to an air tool or
securely anchored,
this may cause personal injury.
Ensure the air supply is turned OFF before
connecting or disconnecting it from the air hose.
Isolate it from the air supply before making
any adjustments.
Double check that the hoist you have hired has a
sufficient Safe Working Load
(SWL)
for the item
being lifted.
Make sure that the hoist you have hired has a long
enough load chain.
Check and confirm that the suspension/anchorage
point is tested and certified to the equivalent
(or
preferably greater)
SWL of the hoist.
Visually inspect the hoist, paying special attention
to the condition of the chains and hooks.
Check that the lifting hook assembly has not been
looped between the chains. Looped chains will
damage the equipment and may cause the
equipment to fail during a lift.
Chains should be clean and free from dust,
dirt, moisture and grease. If the chain is gouged,
twisted or has distorted or damaged links DO
NOT USE IT, return it to your local HSS Lift &
Shift Depot.
Hooks MUST be distortion free and the gate must
return under spring load.
