OPERATION (CONTINUED)
Do not take up the load chain to the point where the chain stop
or lower hook block becomes jammed against the frame.
ATTACHING THE LOAD
Attach the lower hook to the load so that it is seated in the bowl
of the hook and is not bearing against the tip of the hook or latch,
and the latch is tight against the hook tip.
Allowing the load to bear against the hook latch and/or hook tip
can result in loss of load.
TO AVOID INJURY:
Do not allow the load to bear against the hook latch and/or hook
tip. Apply load to hook bowl or saddle only.
Do not wrap the chain around the load and hook onto itself as a
choker chain sling or bring the load in contact with the hoist. Doing
this will result in the loss of the swivel effect of the hook which could
cause twisted chain and a jammed liftwheel. Also, the chain may be
damaged at the hook. Make sure the upper and lower hooks are in a
straight line and the frame is free to swivel on the upper hook.
TO PULL OR LIFT THE LOAD
Operate lever in up and down motion to shorten the distance
between hooks and thus pull or lift the load.
When pulling or lifting move the load only enough to slightly load
the unit, then check to be sure that the attachments to the hooks
and load are firmly seated. Continue movement only after you are
assured the load is free of all obstructions.
The hoist has been designed for hand powered operation only. Do
not use an extension on the lever. The following Lever pulls will result
in rated capacity on the unit:
3/4t: 51 lbf / 23 kgf
1t: 51 lbf / 23 kgf
1 1/2t: 77 lbf / 35 kgf
2t: 58 lbf / 26 kgf
3t: 87 lbf / 39 kgf
6t: 92 lbf / 42 kgf
Any greater pull is an indication of either an overload or an
incorrectly maintained unit
TO LOOSEN OR LOWER LOAD
Power operation may cause structural damage or premature wear
that in turn may cause a part to break and allow the load to fall.
TO AVOID INJURY:
Operate the CM
®
653-A Series lever hoist using hand power only!
Move directional lever to the unload position. Again, operate lever
in an up and down motion to increase the distance between hooks
and thus loosen or lower the load.
LOCKED BRAKE
If a hoist which is under load is suddenly relieved of the load by
lifting the load off of the lower hook by some other means or pulling
down walls, the brake will lock.
The brake will also lock if the lower hook block is pulled tightly
against the frame.
To unlock the brake, turn the directional lever to the unload position
and pull on the lever sharply.
Turning the Handwheel with a load attached will allow the load to
release and may cause injury.
TO AVOID INJURY:
Never turn the Handwheel when the lever hoist is under load.
If the unit is not rigged in a straight line hook to hook manner, and
if the frame is not free to swivel, lever pull may break frame and
cause physical injury and loss of load.
TO AVOID INJURY:
Rig the unit in a straight line hook to hook manner and keep frame
free to swivel (See Figure 4).
Figure 4
INSPECT HOIST
Before each use and at specified intervals as directed in the
inspection section.
Use as directed above. Failure to do so may cause injury to you
or others.
1. DO NOT exceed capacity shown on nameplate.
2. DO NOT use to lift people or loads over people.
3. DO NOT use unless the hoist's frame and chain form a straight
line between hooks.
4. DO NOT use if the frame is in contact with any object.
5. DO NOT use if the unit is damaged or malfunctions.
6. DO NOT use extension on lever. Use hand power only.
7. DO NOT use if chain is twisted, kinked or damaged.
