BEFORE OPERATING & HANDLING THE LOAD
Before operating the hoist ensure that:
• The supporting structure or anchoring means have the same or greater load capacity as the hoist.
• The operator has read and understood all information included in this manual, and are familiar with the
operating controls, hoisting practices, and warnings associated with the hoist.
• If any adjustments or repairs to the hoist are needed, report them promptly to a designated person.
• Hoist shall only be used in locations where the operator can be free of the load.
• The operator shall not use a hoist with an out-of-order sign.
• The operator shall not attempt to adjust or repair a hoist, unless qualified to make such adjustments or repairs.
• Hoists shall only be operated by the hand power of one person.
• Hoists shall not be operated with an extension on the handle.
While handling the load, ensure that:
• The hoist web strap is not wrapped around the load.
• The load is attached to the load hook by suitable means.
• The sling or other device is properly seated in the base (bowl) of the hook. The latch shall not be allowed to
support any part of the load.
• The load is not applied to the point of the hook.
• Before applying the load, the operator shall be sure the web strap is not twisted or that multiple parts of the web
strap are not twisted around each other.
• The hoist shall not be operated until the load block, web strap, and hoist body are directly in line with the
direction of loading to avoid sidepull.
• The hoist body or frame is not bearing against any object or the supporting structure.
• The operator shall not apply a load beyond the rated load appearing on the hoist or load block, except during
properly authorized tests.
• Specific attention should be given to balancing of the load and hitching or slinging to prevent slipping of the load.
• The operator shall not release the hoist lever until the ratchet and pawl is engaged and the lever is at rest.
• The operator shall not engage in any activity that will divert the operator's attention while operating the hoist.
• The operator shall not apply a load to the hoist until the operator and all other personnel are clear of the load.
• The operator shall make sure the load clears any obstacles before moving.
• The load shall not be moved more than a few inches until it is well balanced in the sling or lifting device.
• When starting to lift or pull, the operator should move the load a few inches and then check the hoist for proper
load holding action. The operation shall be continued only after the operator has verified the hoist is operating
properly.
• Hoist shall not be used to lift, support, or otherwise transport people.
• The operator should avoid carrying loads over people.
• The operator should not leave a loaded hoist unattended unless specific precautions have been instituted and
are in place.
• Care shall be exercised when removing a sling from under a landed and blocked load.
