General Safety Precautions

HAZARD
Failure to observe these instructions could
lead to minor or moderate injury.
General Safety:
• Always know your hoist. Take time to fully
read this Installation and Operations Guide
in order to understand your hoist and its
operation.
• Never operate this hoist if you are under 16
years of age.
• Never operate this hoist when under the
influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
• Never exceed hoist or rope rated capacity.
Double line using a snatch block to reduce
hoist load.
Installation Safety:
• Always choose a mounting location that is
sufficiently strong to withstand the maximum
lifting capacity of your hoist.
• Always use factory approved mounting
hardware, components, and accessories.
• Always use grade 5 or better mounting
hardware.
• Never weld mounting bolts.
• Always use care when using longer bolts
than those supplied from factory. Bolts
that are too long can damage the base
and/or prevent the hoist from being mounted
securely.
• Always mount the hoist and attach the hook
to the rope's end loop before connecting the
electrical wiring.
• Always spool the rope onto the drum in the
direction specified by the drum rotation label
and/or documentation. This is required for
the automatic brake to function properly.
• Always prestretch wire rope and respool
under load before use. Tightly wound wire
rope reduces chances of "binding", which can
damage the rope.

HAZARD
Failure to observe these instructions could
lead to minor or moderate injury.
Hoisting Safety:
• Always inspect, rope, hook, and slings
before operating hoist. Damaged
components must be replaced before
operation. Protect parts from damage.
• Always report any malfunction, unusual
performance, or damage to the hoist.
• Never leave remote control plugged into
hoist when rigging or when the hoist is not
being used.
• Never hook rope back onto itself. This
damages the rope.
• Always remove any element or obstacle that
may interfere with safe operation of the hoist.
• Always take time to use appropriate rigging
techniques for a hoist lift.
• Never hoist with less than 5 wraps of rope
around the drum, the rope could come loose
from the drum.
• Never touch rope or hook while in tension or
under load.
• Never touch rope or hook while someone
else is at the control switch or during hoisting
operation.
• Always stand clear of rope and load and
keep others away while hoisting.
• Always be aware of stability of vehicle and
load during hoisting. Alert all bystanders of
any unstable condition.
• Always keep remote control lead clear of the
drum, rope and rigging. Inspect for cracks,
pinches, frayed wires or loose connections.
Replace remote control if damaged.
• Always pass remote control through a
window to avoid pinching lead in door when
using remote inside a vehicle.
• Never swing or twist loads.
• Never leave suspended load unattended.
