Installation Instructions
1) The supporting structure the hoist is mounted to
(including trolley, monorail, or crane) must be
designed to withstand the loads and forces
imposed by the hoist for the rated load.
2) Properly seat the suspension hook on the
supporting structure at its intended load bearing
point (see the left side of diagram).
Do not allow the hook hitch to support any part
of the load.
Do not apply the load to the point of the hook
(shown in the diagram on the right side.)
Basic Safety Information
• Do not lift more than rated load. Be
aware of dynamic loading! Sudden load
movement may briefly create excess
load causing product failure.
• Do not operate hoist with twisted,
kinked, or damaged chain. Inspect
chain carefully before every use.
• Do not operate a damaged or
malfunctioning hoist. Inspect hoist
carefully and test operation before
every use.

Correct and Incorrect suspension hook attachment

TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY: Operation of a vertical hoist involves more than pulling the hand chain of a
hand chain operate hoist. The use of vertical hoist 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 will occur as are a result of operating the controls.
Operating Controls
Operation Instructions
Before Operating Hoist
1) Familiarize yourself with all operating
controls of the hoist and with the operations
to be performed. Instructions include, the
warnings on the hoist, and the safety and
operating instructions portion of this manual.
2) 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
Inspecting section after installation but
before use.
To Raise the Load
To Lower the Load

Applying the Load
1) Do not wrap the hoist rope or chain around
the load.
2) Attach the load to the load hook securely by
properly rated, suitable mean, such as chains,
shackles, hooks, lifting slings, etc. Load
must be attached to prevent accidental
disconnection.
3) Properly seat the sling or other device (see
the left side of the diagram below). Do not
allow the hook hitch to support any part of
the load.
4) Do not apply the load to the point of the hook
(shown in the diagram below on the right
side).
5) Before moving the load, make sure chains or
wire rope are not kinked or twisted or that
multiple part chains or ropes are not twisted
around each other.
6) Do not operate the hoist unless rope or chain
is seated properly on the drum, sheaves, or
sprockets.
7) Do not operate the hoist unless the hoist unit
is centered over the load.
8) Do not pick up a load in excess of the rated
load appearing on the hoist or load block,
except during properly authorized tests. Do
not use a hoist overload limiting device to
measure the maximum load to be lifted.
9) Give specific attention to load balancing and
hitching or slinging to prevent load slipping.
Moving the Load
1) Do not engage in any activity which will
divert the operator’s attaention while
operating the hoist.
2) Respond to signals from a designated person
only. However, always obey a stop signal no
matter who gives it.
3) Do not lift or lower a load with the hoist until
the operator and all other personnel are clear
of the load.
4) Make sure the load with the hoist will clear
all obstacles before moving or rotating the
load.
5) Do not lift a load more than few inches until
it is well balanced in the sling or lifting
device.
6) Each time a load approaching rated capacity
is handled, check hoist brake action by lifting
the load just clear of supports and continuing
only after verifying that the brake system is
operating properly.
7) WARNING! Do not carry any load over
any person.
8) WARNING! Do not carry personnel on
the hook or the load.
9) Avoid swinging the load or load hook when
traveling the hoist.
10) On trolley mounted hoist, avoid contact
between trolleys and between trolleys and
stops.
11) Do not use the upper (or lower, if provided)
limit devices as a normal means of stopping
the hoist. These are emergency devises only.
Parking the Load
1) Do not leave a suspended load unattended
unless specific precautions have been
instituted and are in place.
2) Position the load block above head level for
storage when the hoist is not in use.
3) Exercise care when removing a sling from
under a landed and blocked load.
Correct and incorrect load hook attachment

TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM HOIST FAILURE: Do not use damaged equipment. If any defect or
damage is noted, have the problem corrected before further use.
Frequent Inspection
Perform the procedures in this section
BEFORE INTIAL USE and AT LEAST
MONTHLY. Inspection is needed more often
for heavily used hoists.
1) Check operating mechanisms for proper
operation, proper adjustment, and unusual
sounds.
2) Frequent Braking System Inspection
The braking system must automatically stop
and hold up to the rated load if the hand
chain is released.
3) Frequent Hook inspection
a. Distortion, such as bending, twisting, or
increased throat opening
b. Wear
c. Cracks, nicks, or gouges
d. Latch engagement (if equipped)
e. Damaged or malfunctioning latch (if
provided)
f. Hook attachment and securing means.
4) Frequent Hoist Load Chain Inspection
a. Test the hoist under load in lifting and
lowering directions and observe the
operation of the chain and sprockets. The
chain should feed smoothly into and way
from the sprockets.
b. If the chain binds, jumps, or is noisy, first
see that it is clean and properly lubricated.
If the trouble persists, inspect he chain
and mating parts for wear, distortion, or
other damage.
c. Examine visually for gouges, nicks, weld
spatter, corrosion, and distorted links.
Slacken the chain and move the adjacent
links to one side to inspect for wear at the
contact points. If wear is observed or if
stretching is suspected, the chain should be
measured as follows:
1) Select an unworn, unstretched length of
chain (e.g., at the slack end).
2) Suspend the chain vertically under
tension and, using a caliper-type gauge,
carefully measure the outside length of
any convenient number of links
approximately 12” to 24” overall.
3) Carefully measure the same number of
links in the used sections and calculate the
percentage increase in length.
4) If the used chain is 2.5% longer than the
unused chain, replace the chain.
5) Check rope or load chain reeving.
Inspection, Testing, and Maintenance
Procedures not specifically explained in this manual must be performed only by a qualified technician.
Periodic (Thorough) Inspection
A qualified technician should perform the
procedures in this section AT LEAST
YEARLY. Inspection is needed more often for
heavily used hoists.
1) First follow all Frequent Inspection
procedures.
Additionally:
2) Check fasteners for evidence of loosening.
3) Check load blocks, suspension housings,
hand chain wheels chain attachments,
clevises, yokes, suspension bolts, shafts,
gears, bearings, pins, rollers, and locking and
clamping devices for evidence of wear,
corrosion, cracks, and distortion.
4) Check hook retaining nuts or collars, and
pins, welds, or rivets used to secure the
retaining members for evidence of damage.
5) Check load sprockets, idler sprockets, drums
and sheaves for evidence of damage and
wear.
