HOIST SAFETY IS UP TO YOU...
WARNING
Do not lift more than rated load.
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
used, period of use and capacity of supporting structures must also
be taken into consideration in selecting the right hoist for the job.
Remember, the hoist was designed to ease our burden.
Carelessness not only endangers the operator, but in many cases, a
valuable load.
WARNING
Do not operate damaged or malfunctioning hoist.
Do not operate with twisted, kinked, or damaged chain.
INSPECT
All hoists should be visually inspected before use, in addition to
regular, periodic maintenance inspections.
Inspect hoists for operations warning notices and legibility.
Deficiencies should be noted and brought to the attention of
supervisors. Be sure defective hoists are tagged and taken out of
service until repairs are made.
Do not operate a malfunctioning hoist under any circumstances.
Check for gouged, twisted, distorted links and foreign material. Do
not operate hoists with twisted, kinked, or damaged chain links.
Load chain should be properly lubricated.
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.
Chains should be checked for deposits of foreign material which may
be carried into the hoist mechanism.
Check brake for evidence of slippage under load.
WARNING
Do not pull at an angle. Be sure
hoist and load are in a straight line.
Do not use load chain as a sling.
Violations of any of the warnings listed may result in serious personal injury to the op-

erator or nearby personnel by nature of released load or broken hoist components.
LIFTING OF HAZARDOUS LOADS
This hoist is not recommended for use in lifting or transporting
hazardous loads or materials which could cause widespread
damage if dropped. The lifting of loads which could explode or create
chemical or radioactive contamination if dropped requires fail-safe
redundant supporting devices which are not incorporated into this
hoist.
LIFTING OF GUIDED LOADS
This hoist is not recommended for use in the lifting of guided loads,
including elevators. Such applications require additional protective
devices which are not incorporated into this hoist.
LIFT PROPERLY
Do not lift people with a hoist.
Make sure everyone is clear of the load when you lift.
Do not remove or obscure operational warning notices.
USE HOIST PROPERLY
Be sure hoist is solidly held in the uppermost part of the support hook
arc.
Be sure hoist and load are in a straight line. Do not pull at an angle.
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 use load chain as a sling. Such usage damages the chain and
lower hook.
Do not operate with hoist head resting against any object. Lift the
load gently. Do not jerk it.
Do not lift people or loads over people.
MAINTAIN PROPERLY
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.
Lubrication
Chain should be properly lubricated.
After repairs
Carefully operate the hoist before returning it to full service.
