Workplace Hazards
Do not operate electric chain hoists in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of
ammable liquids, gases or dust. Electric hoists create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
After use, or when in a non-operational mode, the chain hoist should be secured against
unauthorized and unwarranted use.
Entanglement Hazards
Do not pile chain carelessly in the chain container. Piling the chain carelessly into the
container by hand may lead to kinking or twisting that can jam the hoist.
Avoid clamping, knotting and crushing of electrical cable. Check cable clamps and anchoring
devices are securely attached and tight.
Never place your hand inside the throat area of a hook.
Maintenance and Service
After performing any maintenance on the hoist, test hoist before returning hoist to service.
Never perform maintenance on a hoist system while supporting a load. Disconnect power
from hoist system.
Do not use trichloroethylene to clean parts.
Refer all communications to the nearest Ingersoll Rand Material Handling oce or distributor.
The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 generally places the burden of compliance
with the user, not the manufacturer. Many OSHA re�uirements are not concerned or connectedre�uirements are not concerned or connected
with the manufactured product but are, rather, associated with the nal installation.
It is the
owner’s and user’s responsibility to determine the suitability of a product for any particular
use. It is recommended that all applicable industry, trade association, federal, state and local
regulations be checked. Read all operating instructions and warnings before operation.
Rigging: It is the responsibility of the operator to exercise caution, use common sense and be
familiar with proper rigging techniques. Refer to ASME B30.9 for rigging information, American
National Standards Institute, 1430 Broadway, New York, NY 10018.
The National Safety Council, Accident Prevention Manual for Industrial Operations, Eighth
Edition and other recognized safety sources make a
common point: Employees who work near
suspended loads or assist in hooking on or arranging a load should be instructed to keep out from
under the load. From a safety standpoint, one factor is paramount: conduct all lifting operations
in such a manner that if there were an equipment
failure, no personnel would be injured. This
means keep out from under a raised load and keep out of the line of force of any load.
