section 3: operations
to operate the lever chain hoist:
1. read and follow the safety precautions
included in the front of the manual,
wear protective head gear, and clear
the area around the lifting operation.
2. secure the safety hook on top of the
hoist housing to a structurally sound
overhead beam that is capable of sup-
porting the load weight.
Make sure that the overhead connec-
tion point conforms to the required local
and state safety and building codes for
the hoist and load used.
note: The hoist can be mounted a
beam trolley if the capacity of the trolley
system is at least twice the maximum
load capacity of the hoist.
3. position the load directly under the
hoist.
4. Flip the selector on the lever to the neu-
tral ("N") position. this allows the lifting
chain to freely move through the gear
block housing by either pulling on the
lifting chain or rotating the handwheel.
5. Make sure the chains are not tangled,
then attach the lifting hook to the load.
6. Eliminate the slack in the lifting chain
between the gear block housing and
the load by pulling on the chain.
7. Flip the selector on the lever to the up
("u") position, then pull on the lever
until there is slight tension on the lifting
chain.
8. inspect the hoist and load to make
sure that the lifting chain will stay verti-
cal and will not twist during the lifting
operation, that there is not a possibility
of any type of entanglement, and that
there are no obstacles in the path of the
lift.
9. While keeping to the side of the lifting
path, continue to pull on the lever with
a slow and steady pace.
note: The lever chain mechanism will
suspend the load at the current position
when you release the handle.
10. to lower the load, flip the selector on
the lever to the down ("d") position,
then pull on the lever with a slow and
steady pace.
11. When the tension between the hoist
and the load is completely released,
detach the hoist hook from the load.
always connect the chain block lifting
hook to a separate lifting device
attached to the load, such as straps,
chains, or an eye bolt, so that the
lifting chain is vertical. do not wrap
the lifting chain and hook around the
load in any way, which could cause
them to fail under load. ignoring this
warning could lead to serious personal
injury or property damage.
