SAFE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Ingersoll-Rand recognizes that most companies who use hoists have a safety program in force in
their plants. In the event you are aware that some conflict exists between a rule set forth in this
publication and a similar rule already set by an individual company, the more stringent of the two
should take precedence.
Safe Operating Instructions are provided to make an operator aware of unsafe practices to avoid
and are not necessarily limited to the following list. Refer to specific sections in the manual for
additional safety information.
1.
Only allow people, trained in safety and operation of this product, to operate the hoist.
2.
Only operate a hoist if you are physically fit to do so.
3.
When a “DO NOT OPERATE” sign is placed on the hoist, do not operate the hoist until the
sign has been removed by designated personnel.
4.
Before each shift, the operator should inspect the hoist for wear or damage.
5.
Never use a hoist which inspection indicates is worn or damaged.
