OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
Read the ALL SAFETY INFORMATION in this manual including all text under subheadings
therein before set up or use of this product.
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY: Operation of a vertical hoist involves more than pulling the hand chain
of a hand chain operated hoist. The use of vertical hoists is subject to certain hazards that cannot be met
by mechanical means, but only by the exercise of intelligence, care, common sense, and experience in
anticipating the motions that will occur as a result of operating the controls.
Before Operating Hoist
1. Familiarize yourself with all operating controls of the hoist and with the operation(s) to be performed.
Instructions include, the warnings on the hoist, and the safety and operating instructions portion of this
manual.
2.
WARNING! TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM HOIST FAILURE: Do not use damaged
equipment. If adjustments or repairs are necessary, or any defects are known, have the problem
corrected before further use.
3. Do not operate a hoist with an out-of-order sign.
4. Only a qualified technician should perform maintenance to the hoist.
5. Do not use the chain or rope as a ground for welding.
6. Do not touch a welding electrode to the chain or rope.
7. Only operate hand chain operated hoists with hand power, with no more than one operator per hand chain.
8. Designate a work area that is clean and well-lit. The work area must not allow access by children or pets to
prevent distraction and injury.
9. There must not be objects, such as utility lines, nearby that will present a hazard while working.
10. Inspect the hoist as explained in Frequent Inspection on page 8 after installation but before use.
