This manual contains important information to help you 
properly install, operate and maintain your hoist for 
maximum performance, economy and safety. 

Please study its contents thoroughly before putting 
your hoist into operation. By practicing correct 
operating procedures and by carrying out the 
recommended preventive maintenance suggestions, 
you will experience long, dependable and safe service. 
After you have completely familiarized yourself with 
the contents of this manual, we recommend that you 
carefully file it for future reference. 

The information herein is directed to the proper use, 
care and maintenance of the hoist and does not 
comprise a handbook on the broad subject of rigging. 

Rigging can be defined as the process of lifting and 
moving heavy loads using hoists and other mechanical 
equipment. Skill acquired through specialized 
experience and study is essential to safe rigging 
operations. For rigging information, we recommend 
consulting a standard textbook on the subject.
