CM REPAIR/REPLACEMENT
®
POLICY
All Columbus McKinnon (CM) Bandit hoists
are inspected and performance tested prior
to shipment. If any properly maintained
hoist develops a performance problem,
within one year of shipment, 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 Bandit 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 Acknowledgement. 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:
- The operator to operate the lever.
- The operator and other personnel to
stand clear of the load at all times.
- Firm footing for the operator.
- 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
Bandit hand operated lever hoist.

(ENGLISH)
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 Bandit 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.
