OPERATION
Before initial operation of hoist :
1. Read and comply with all instructions and warnings furnished with or attached to hoist.
2. Check lubricant.
3. Check operation of brake.
4. Check that chain is properly seated in sheaves and that chain is not twisted, kinked,
or damaged.
Before each shift:
1. Inspect hooks for nicks, gouges, cracks, and signs of pulling apart or twist.
2. Inspect hook latch for proper operation.
3. Check chain for kinks or twists.
4. Check operation of brake.
5. Replace warning label if missing or illegible.
Before operating :
1. Be certain all personnel are clear of the load to be lifted and moved.
2. Make sure load will clear stock piles, machinery, or other obstructions when hoisting and traveling
the load.
3. Eliminate any twists or kinks in the load chain.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. READ these instructions and Safety Standard for Overhead Hoists before installing, operating, or
maintaining this equipment.
2. DO NOT lift more than rated load.
3. DO NOT operate hoist when it is restricted from forming a straight line with the direction of loading.
4. DO NOT operate with twisted, kinked, or damaged chain.
5. DO NOT operate if chain is not seated in sheaves or sprockets.
6. DO NOT wrap chain around load or use chain as a sling.
7. DO NOT operate unless load is properly applied to the saddle or bowl of the hook.
8. DO NOT operate if load is applied to the tip of the hook.
9. DO NOT operate with damaged or missing hook latches.
10. DO NOT lift people.
11. DO NOT lift or move loads over people.

-4-
INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
Prior to initial use, all new, altered, and repaired hoists shall be inspected in accordance with Table 2.
Thereafter, inspections shall be conducted at intervals shown in Table 1. Items to be inspected
are indicated in Table 2 by F (frequent) or P (periodic).
Refer to ASME B30.16 for additional information on inspection, test, and maintenance.
Frequent Inspections - Visual inspection by the operator or other authorized person. This inspection
includes listening for unusual sounds while the hoist is operated that may indicate deficiencies.
Exception : Brakes require more than audio-visual inspection. Check daily by operating hoist with and
without load, stopping at various positions to test holding power and amount of drift, if any occurs.
TO ADJUST BRAKE (refer to Figure 1) :
1. Fully tighten nut to position A.
2. Slack off nut from position A to position B and insert adjusting spring.
NOTE : Replace brake disc if thickness is less than 0.08 inch.
Periodic Inspections - Audio-visual inspection as for Frequent Inspections, with some disassembly to
allow a more detailed inspection if external conditions indicate the need.

HOOKS
Refer to ASME B30.10, Safety Standard for Hooks. Inspect hooks and measure hook
throat opening at least once a month. Between regular inspections check visually daily
for deformation, distortion, twisting, damage, and missing or damaged hook latches.
Inspect as follows :
1. Measure hook throat opening from metal to metal of the hook as shown by dimension
N1 in Figure 2. DO NOT measure from latchto metal. Hook must be replaced when throat
opening measurement has increased 5%, not to exceed 0.25 inch over the original throat
opening dimension of a new hook, as follows:

ANY HOOK THAT REQUIRES REPLACEMENT BECAUSE OF EXCESSIVE BENDS,
TWISTS, OR THROAT OPENING INDICATES ABUSE OR OVERLOADING OF THE HOIST.
THEREFORE, OTHER LOAD-SUPPORTING COMPONENTS OF THE HOIST SHOULD BE
INSPECTED FOR POSSIBLE DAMAGE WHEN SUCH CONDITIONS ARE FOUND.
NEVER REPAIR HOOKS BY WELDING OR RESHAPING. HEAT APPLIED TO THE HOOK
WILL ALTER THE ORIGINAL HEAT TREATMENT OF THE HOOK MATERIAL AND REDUCE
THE STRENGTH OF THE HOOK.
NEVER WELD HANDLES OR OTHER ATTACHMENTS TO THE HOOK. HEAT APPLIED TO
THE HOOK WILL ALTER THE ORIGINAL HEAT TREATMENT OF THE HOOK MATERIAL
AND REDUCE THE STRENGTH OF THE HOOK.

2. Measure hook depth at load bearing point (base, bowl, or saddle) of the hook. Hook must
be replaced when wear at load bearing point is 10% of the original depth of the hook load
bearing point.
3. Any bend or twist of the hook from the plane of the unbent hook requires replacement of
the hook.
4. A hook latch, when required, that is missing shall be replaced.
5. A hook latch, when required, that is inoperative shall be repaired or replaced.
6. A hook with a hook latch that does not close the throat opening of the hook shall be
removed from service or moused until the latch is replaced or repaired.
7. Hooks having damage from chemicals, corrosion, or deformation shall be repaired or
replaced. Damage in the form of cracks, nicks, and gouges may be repaired by
a designated person by grinding longitudinally, following the contour of the hook, provided
no dimension of the hook is reduced by more than 10% of the original dimension of a
new hook. If the repair reduces the dimension of the hook by more than 10% of the
original dimension of a new hook, the hook shall be replaced.
