IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING – To reduce risk of injury:
1. Read and understand the entire owner’s
manual before attempting operation. Failure to
comply with instructions and warnings may
cause serious injury.
2. This lever hoist is designed and intended for
use by properly trained and experienced
personnel only. If you are not familiar with the
proper and safe operation of a lever hoist, do
not use until proper training and knowledge
have been obtained.
3. Do not use this lever hoist for other than its
intended use. If used for other purposes, JET
disclaims any real or implied warranty and
holds itself harmless from any injury that may
result from that use.
4. Do not use lever hoist to lift, support or
transport people; or to lift or support loads over
people.
5. Do not exceed the rated capacity of the hoist.
6. Do not attempt to extend the lever handle
using a “cheater pipe” or any other such
device.
7. Do not strike the lever handle with a hammer
or any other object.
8. Do not use the chain as a sling. This may
cause damage to the chain.
9. Always inspect the lever hoist for damage prior
to use. If hoist is damaged, do not use until it
has been repaired or replaced.
10. Do not use more than one lever hoist to lift or
move a load. If this is unavoidable, each hoist
must have the same capacity as the load to be
moved.
11. Never allow chain to “set” over sharp edges.
All pulls or lifts must be made with straight
chain that is free of obstacles.
12. If the lever handle is difficult to operate, then
the load exceeds the capacity of the hoist.
Reduce load or select a hoist of larger
capacity.
13. Do not use hoist if the chain is twisted, kinked
or damaged.
14. Do not operate hoist unless load is centered
between top and bottom hooks.
15. On hoists with the overload warning lever, do
not use this device to measure load weight.
16. Always take time to study the job to be
performed and choose the safest method. Do
not place yourself or other people in an unsafe
position.
17. Always maintain your balance and firm footing
when operating the lever hoist.
18. Leave all internal maintenance and inspections
to a qualified JET Service Center.
19. Do not attempt to lengthen or repair load
chain. Replace chain with factory replacement
chain only. Do not use any other type of chain.
20. If welding near the hoist, do not allow the chain
or hook to be touched by a live electrode.
Prevent weld splatter upon the chain.
21. Never use the hoist if either hook is stretched,
deformed, or has a broken or missing safety
latch. Always replace the safety latch and/or
the hook before placing the hoist back in
service.
22. Be sure supporting structures and load-
attaching devices used in conjunction with this
lever hoist provide an adequate safety factor to
handle the rated load plus the weight of the
equipment. If in doubt, consult a qualified
structural engineer.
23. Keep visitors a safe distance from the work
area.
Keep children away.
24. Understand and follow all procedures as set
forth in American National Standards titled
“Performance Standard for Manually Lever
Operated Chain Hoists,” ANSI/ASME HST-3;
and “Manually Lever Operated Hoists,”
ANSI/ASME B30.21. These standards are
available through the American Society of
Mechanical Engineers at www.asme.org.
