versatile materials handling equipment that can be used to
effectively lift loads. The frame and covers are made from steel
stampings. Internal gears are made of high grade, heat treated
steel. Shielded ball bearings or bushings support the heat treated
steel liftwheel. Latch type, forged steel upper and lower hooks

INSTALLATION
Before installing the hoist:
1. Determine the weight of the load that is to be lifted or moved
and make sure it does not exceed the rated load of the hoist.
2. Make sure the support or sling to which the upper hook is
attached is strong enough to hold several times the weight of
the load to be lifted or moved. Be sure the hoist is solidly held
in the uppermost part of the upper hook and the latch is closed
and not in contact with the support or sling.
Attaching the hoist to an inadequate support may allow the hoist
and load to fall and cause injury and/or property damage.
TO AVOID INJURY:
Make sure the structure has sufficient strength to hold several
times the hoist and its rated load.
3. The area in which the hoist is installed must provide sufficient
room for:
– The operator to operate the hand chain.
– The operator and other personnel to stand clear of the
load at all times.
– Firm footing for the operator.
– Clearance between the hoist frame and any object.
– The frame to be free to swivel on the upper hook.

for proper operation. To operate the hoist, pull on the hand chain
as indicated below.
If not used as directed, hoist may cause injury.
