Lynx Hoist
P/N 10016732, Rev. B
FIGURE 2
LYNX HOIST PERONNEL/MATERIALS HOIST (REVERSE VIEW)
! CAUTION
The user should prevent the buildup of slack line that would allow free fall.
Internal mechanisms of the hoist are protected by a formed steel housing. All parts are zinc chromate plated
to resist corrosion. The load end of the line is terminated with a self-locking swivel snaphook which requires
two separate and distinct manipulations to unlock and open the snap gate. When released, the snap gate will
automatically close and lock. See Figure 3.
The hoist has a level wind mechanism which help the guide line to lay and wrap tightly around the drum.
! CAUTION
To prevent loose coils of line on the drum, always maintain at least 15 lbs
(6.75 kg) of tension on the line when paying it out.
The hoist is normally operated with the standard manual crank handle shown in Figure 1. To extract line or
lower a load, rotate the handle in a counterclockwise direction. To retract line or raise a load, rotate the handle
in a clockwise direction. To suspend a load, release the handle. A brake in the drive mechanism inhibits the
drum from free wheeling. The brake operates even when the crank handle is removed for attachment of the
optional air drive.
Air Drive Option
An optional air drive system – P/N 506420 – is available for use in applications requiring long line runs or
rapid retrieval of a load. The air drive system consists of an air-driven motor with a filter-lubricator that
cleans, lubricates and regulates the pressure of plant air or compressed air supplied to the motor.
