GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
ADVERSE ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
Do not use the hoists in areas containing ammable vapors,
liquids, gasses or any combustible dust or bers. Do not use
the hoist in highly corrosive, abrasive, wet environments or in
applications involving exposure to temperatures below -10ºF
or above 130ºF.
MOVING HAZARDOUS LOADS
The hoists are not recommended for lifting materials that
could cause widespread damage if dropped. The lifting
or moving of materials that could explode or cause
chemical or radioactive contamination requires fail-safe,
redundant supporting devices that are not incorporated
into these hoists.

4192083259 (REV AA) March 2021
HOIST SAFETY IS UP TO YOU...
CHOOSE THE RIGHT HOIST FOR
THE JOB...
Choose a hoist with the capacity for the job.
Know the capacities of your hoists and the
weight of your loads.
Then match them.
The application, the size and type of load,
the attachments to be used and the period
of use must also be taken into consideration
in selecting the right hoist for the job.
Remember, the hoist was designed to ease
our burden and carelessness not only endangers
the operator, but in many cases, a valuable load.
INSPECT
All hoists should be visually inspected
before use, in addition to regular, periodic
maintenance inspections.
Inspect hoists for operations warning notices
and legibility.
Deciencies should be noted and brought to the
attention of supervisors. Be sure defective hoists are
tagged and taken out of service until repairs are made.
Under no circumstances should you operate a malfunctioning hoist.
Check for gouged, twisted, distorted links and foreign material.
Do not operate hoists with twisted, kinked,
or damaged chain links.
Load chain should be properly lubricated.
Hooks that are bent, worn, or whose
openings are enlarged beyond normal throat
opening should not be used. If latch does not
engage throat opening of hook, hoist should
be taken out of service.
Chains should be checked for deposits of
foreign material which may be carried into
the hoist mechanism.
Check brake for evidence of slippage
under load.
DO NOT LIFT MORE THAN RATED LOAD.
DO OPERATE WITH MANUAL POWER ONLY (ONE OPERATOR)
DO NOT OPERATE DAMAGED OR MALFUNCTIONING HOIST.
DO NOT OPERATE WITH TWISTED, KINKED, OR DAMAGED CHAIN.
DO NOT PULL AT AN ANGLE. BE SURE HOIST AND LOAD ARE
IN A STRAIGHT LINE.
DO NOT USE LOAD CHAIN AS A SLING.
USE HOIST PROPERLY
Be sure hoist is solidly held in the uppermost
part of the support hook arc.
Be sure hoist and load are in a straight line.
Do not pull at an angle.
Be sure load is hooked securely. Do not tip load
the hook. Do not load hook latch. Hook latch
is to prevent detachment of load under slack
chain conditions only.
Do not operate with hoist head resting against
any object. Lift the load gently. Do not jerk it.
PRACTICE CAUTION ALWAYS
Do not lift co-workers with a hoist.
Make sure everyone is clear of the load when you lift.
Do not remove or obscure operational warning notices.
OPERATOR SERVICE
CLEANING
Hoists should be kept clean and free of dust, dirt, moisture, etc.,
which will in any way affect the operation or safety of the equipment.
