Product warnings
Caution indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in
minor or moderate injury or property damage
Don'ts
1.
DON'T adjust or repair the hoist unless qualified to perform such adjustments or repairs.
2.
DON'T allow the hoist to be subjected to sharp contact with other hoist, structures or objects through
misuse.
3.
DON'T allow your attention to be diverted from operating the hoist.
4.
DON'T use the hoist overload limiting clutch to measure the load.
Do's
1.
DO inspect the hoist regularly, replace damaged or worn parts and keep appropriate records of
maintenance.
2.
DO lubricate load chain per hoist manufacturer's recommendations.
3.
DO use Mechanics Hoist CH recommended parts when repairing the hoist unit.
4.
DO check brake function by tensioning the hoist prior to each lift operation.
5.
DO maintain firm footing or be otherwise secured when operating the hoist.
6.
DO make sure the hook latches are closed and not supporting any parts of the load.
7.
DO use hook latches. Latches are to retain slings, chains, etc. under slack conditions only.
8.
DO avoid swinging the load or hook.
9.
DO make sure the load is free to move and will clear all obstructions.
10.
DO make sure the hook travel is in the same direction as shown on the controls.
3.
Operational personnel
For independent operation or maintenance of chain hoist, the owner may only employ persons as follows:
1.
Must be mentally and physically sound.
2.
Must be at least 18 years of age (i.e. legally matured).
3.
Those who have been instructed in the operation and/or maintenance of the chain hoist and
have proven their qualification to the owner in this respect. In addition to theoretical training, the
instruction also includes sufficient practical operating experience as well as acquiring the ability to
identify defects which are a hazard to safe operations.

Installation
Pre-installation checks
1.
Check for transit damage.
2.
Check that all external wiring is in good order.
3.
Check that the load chain is in good order.
4.
Check that all fasteners and joints are tight and secure.
5.
Check the capacity of the lifting unit and the bottom block.
Power supply system
To ensure proper operation, to avoid damage to the hoist and electrical system, and to reduce the risk of
electrical shock or fire, the branch circuit supplying power to the hoist must:
1.
Effectively ground the hoist in accordance with the National Electrical Code and other applicable
codes. Proper grounding provides a path with the least resistance for the electrical current to travel
reducing the risk of electrical shock. The standard power cord is equipped with a three prong plug,
used with our 110V, 220V, 240V unit. Make sure that the receptacle opening that receives the longest
prong is properly grounded.
2.
Be in accordance with the National Electrical Code (ANSI/NFPA-70) and applicable National, State,
and Local codes.
3.
Include a disconnecting means capable of being locked in the 'open' position.
4.
Have ample capacity to prevent excessive voltage drop during starting and operation. When
determining the size of branch circuit components and conductors, special consideration should be
given to the starting current amps (approximately three times that shown on the hoist identification
plate) and the length of the conductors. As a minimum, the system should be rated for 20 amps and
the system should have #14 AWG or larger, wiring.
5.
Include slow blow type fuses or inverse trip time circuit breakers to permit the hoist to start and
accelerate the load.
Failure to properly ground the hoist presents the danger of electric shock. To avoid injury:
Permanently ground the hoist as instructed in this manual.
Failure to provide a proper power supply system for the hoist may cause hoist damage
and offers the potential for a fire.
To avoid injury: Provide the hoist with a 20 amp, minimum, over current protected power
supply per the National Electrical Code (ANSI/NFPA 70) and applicable local codes as
instructed in this manual.
