INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

The lever hoist is designed for lifting, pulling and hauling up to the maximum capacity as indi-
cated on the label and the bottom hook. This SWL may not under any circumstances be
exceeded.
After checking the above points, and properly securing the load, the load may be lifted, or the
pulling may commence, by a pumping movement of the lever handle. To effect this, the 3-
position switch on the body of the block has to be in the correct position. The left position is
for lifting or pulling, the right position is for lowering or releasing, whereas the middle position
is neutral. In this neutral position it is possible, but only when no load is applied and the free-
knob is pulled, to freely adjust the chain to the required location.
