CM
REPAIR/REPLACEMENT POLICY
®
All Columbus McKinnon CM
Series 653-A hoists are inspected
®
and performance tested prior to shipment. If any properly maintained
hoist develops a performance problem, during the life of the Goods,
due to a material or workmanship defect, as verified by CM, repair
or replacement of the unit will be made to the original purchaser
without charge.
This repair/replacement policy applies only to CM Series 653-A hoists
installed, maintained and operated as outlined in this manual, and
specifically excludes hoists subject to normal wear, abuse, improper
installation, improper or inadequate maintenance, hostile environmental
effects and unauthorized repairs/modifications. We reserve the right
to change materials or design if, in our opinion, such changes will
improve our product. Abuse, repair by an unauthorized person,
or use of non-CM replacement parts voids the guarantee and could
lead to dangerous operation. For full Terms of Sale, see Sales Order
Acknowledgment. Also, refer to the Limitations of Warranties,
Remedies and Damages, and Indemnification and Safe Operation.
INSTALLATION
Before installing the hoist:
1. Estimate 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.
3. The area in which the hoist is installed must provide sufficient
room for:
a. The operator to operate the lever.
b. The operator and other personnel to stand clear
of the load at all times.
c. Firm footing for the operator.
d. Clearance between the hoist frame and any object.
The frame must be free to swivel on the upper hook.
Attaching the hoist from 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 weight and its rated load.
OPERATION
If not used as directed, lever hoist may cause injury.
TO AVOID INJURY:
Use only as directed below. Read all instructions before operating
the CM
653-A Series hand operated lever hoist.

GENERAL
1. The hoist must be kept clean to assure proper operation.
Before use, check to be sure the load chain is clean, that there
is no foreign material in the liftwheel area and that the lever
operates freely.
2. Do not load beyond the rated capacity. Overload can cause
immediate failure or cause damage resulting in future failure,
even at less than rated capacity.
3. Do not use this hoist or any other material handling equipment
for lifting or moving people, or lifting loads over people.
4. Stand clear of all loads and warn other people of your intention
to move a load in their area.
5. Do not leave a load on the unit unattended.
6. Read warnings and instructions on the hoist before each use.
7. Do not hold the load chain while operating the hoist. Should the
hoist not operate properly, serious injury may occur.
8. Never operate the hoist when flammable materials or vapors
are present. Contact between metal parts may produce sparks
that can cause a fire or explosion.
9. STAY ALERT! Watch what you are doing and use common
sense. Do not use the hoist when you are tired, distracted or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication causing
diminished control.
Malfunction of unit, rigging slip or loss of footing may cause user
to slip resulting in injury.
TO AVOID INJURY:
Always have a firm and secure footing when using the
CM
653-A Series hand operated lever hoist.
®
FREE CHAINING
In this mode of operation, the chain can be pulled through the hoist
in either direction by hand for quick attachment to the load.
To engage the free chaining feature, remove any load from the hoist
and move the directional lever to the ("N") position.
