4. Working method
◼
Check all safety and environmental conditions
◼
Before each use, visually inspect the hoist and all load bearing parts of the hoist, like hooks and
load chain
◼
Attach the chain hook to the main structural support member, either direct to an existing eyebolt or
lug-plate, or using a bracket or beam clamp. It is also possible to use a sling or bridle. Avoid slinging
on sharp edges
◼
Check that both lifting directions are working properly (lifting and lowering)
◼
Guide the chain carefully into the chain-guides when running it taut. Prevent the chain from twisting,
knotting or piling upon the hoist body
◼
Attach the chain bag to the chain mounting fixer
◼
Take slack chain from the floor and put this into the chain bag with as less twisting as possible
◼
Attach the load to the suspended hoist. Use an eyebolt or lashing eye fixed to the load or proper
sling that will not harm the load itself
◼
Make sure the chain bag is hanging free of the load and the inlet of chain is not obstructed
◼
Run the load chain up until it is taut
◼
Visually check the whole lifting structure from chain hook down along the load chain to the load
◼
Check all suspension connections as well as the control cable
◼
Remove all people from the area before you start lifting the load. Do not allow any people to stand
under the moving load
◼
Make sure you have a full visual view on the complete travel path of the load
5. Handling precautions
◼
Never try to lift a load more than the rated capacity
◼
Always remain in control, never leave a load unattended
◼
Don’t work, walk or stand under an operating hoist
◼
Never ride on the hook, chain, or load
◼
Always look up when working the hoist, watch for overhead danger
◼
Prior to lifting or pulling make sure the brake is performing correctly

If any malfunction is detected stop the operation immediately
◼
Never pull of the controller quick connector during operation
