Positioning Unloaded Hook (FREE CHAIN Position)
CAUTION
• To prevent injury or property damage always remove load from hoist before shifting selector
lever to the FREE CHAIN position and/or rotating free knob to the RED position.
1.
Set the selector lever to FREE CHAIN (center) position.
2.
Grasp the anchor side of load chain. Rotate the free knob counterclockwise until all RED is viewed
in the indicator window of the indicator plate.
3.
Pull hook side of load chain to lower the hook to the desired location. Connect hook to load. Pull
the anchor side of load chain until chain slack is removed.
Lifting Load (UP Position - Haul In)
The following procedure assumes the hoist is in FREE CHAIN mode with all RED showing in the
indicator window. The hook is attached to a load, but the hoist is not supporting the load.
WARNING
• ALWAYS ensure that only all GREEN is viewed in the indicator window of the indicator plate
whenever shifting the selector lever to the FREE CHAIN position to prevent dropping load. This
includes shifting from the UP to DOWN, or DOWN to UP positions as the selector lever must pass
through the FREE CHAIN position.
