HOIST SAFETY IS UP TO YOU...
CHOOSE THE RIGHT HOIST FOR THE JOB...
Choose a hoist with the capacity for the job.
Know the capacities of your hoists and the
weight of your loads.
Then match them.
The application, the size and type of load,
the attachments to be us ed and the period
of use must also be taken into consideration
in selecting the right hoist for the job.
Remember the hoist was design ed to ease
our burden and carelessness not only endangers
the operator but in many cases, a valuable load.
INSPECT
All hoists should be visually in spected before use, in addition
to regular, periodic maintenance inspections.
Inspect hoists for operation warn ing notices
and legibility.
Deficiencies should be noted and brought to the
attention of super visors. Be sure defective hoists
are tagged and taken out of ser vice until repairs
are made.
Under no circumstances should you operate a
malfunctioning hoist.
Check for gouged, twisted, distorted straps and foreign material.
Do not operate hoists with twisted, kinked or damaged straps.
Hoist Straps should be properly cleaned.
Hooks that are bent, worn or whose openings
are enlarged beyond normal throat opening
should not be used. If latch does not engage
throat opening of hook, hoist should be taken
out of service.
Straps should be checked for deposits of
foreign material which may be carried into
the hoist mechanism.
Check ratchet and pawls for evidence of
damage.
DO NOT LIFT MORE THAN RATED LOAD.
DO NOT OPERATE DAMAGED OR MALFUNCTIONING UNIT.
DO NOT OPERATE WITH TWISTED, KINKED, OR DAMAGED STRAP.
USE HOIST PROPERLY
Be sure the hoist is solidly held in the uppermost part of the support
hook arc.
Be sure the hoist and load are in a straight line. Do not use unless
frame and strap form a straight line between hooks.
Be sure load is hooked securely. Do not tip load the hook. Do not
load hook latch. Hook latch is to prevent detachment of load under
slack chain conditions only.
Do not operate with hoist frame resting against
any object. Apply the load gently.
Do not jerk it.
Never use an extension on the lever! You're
dangerously overloading the hoist if you ex-
ceed the rated lever pull or if you have to use
a lever exten sion to lift or pull a load.
PRACTICE CAUTION ALWAYS
Do not lift co-workers with a hoist.
Make sure everyone is clear of the load
when you apply tension.
Do not remove or obscure operational
warning notices.
OPERATOR SERVICE
CLEANING
Hoists should be kept clean and free of dust, dirt, moisture, etc.,
which will in any way affect the operation or safety of the equipment.
AFTER REPAIRS
Carefully operate the hoist before returning it to full service.
DO NOT LIFT PEOPLE OR LOADS OVER PEOPLE
VIOLATIONS OF ANY OF THE WARNINGS LISTED MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY TO THE OPERATOR
OR NEARBY PERSONNEL BY NATURE OF RELEASED LOAD OR BROKEN HOIST COMPONENTS.
DO NOT PULL AT AN ANGLE. BE SURE HOIST AND LOAD ARE
IN A STRAIGHT LINE.
DO NOT USE UNLESS FRAME AND STRAP FORM A STRAIGHT
LINE BETWEEN HOOKS.
DO NOT USE IF FRAME IS IN CONTACT WITH ANY OBJECT.
DO NOT USE STRAP AS A SLING.
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION ON THE LEVER.
