IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

– To reduce risk of injury:

1. Read and understand the entire owner

’s

manual before attempting assembly or
operation.

2. Read and understand the warnings posted

on the tool and in this manual. Failure to
comply with all of these warnings may cause
serious injury and/or damage to property.

3. Replace the warning labels if they become

obscured or are missing.

4. Keep visitors a safe distance from the work

area.

Keep children away.

5. Give your work undivided attention. Looking

around, carrying on a conversation and
“horse-play” are careless acts that can result
in serious injury.

6. Provide for adequate space surrounding

work area and non-glare, overhead lighting.

7. This chain hoist is designed and intended for

use  by  properly  trained  and  experienced
personnel  only.  If  you  are  not  familiar  with
the  proper  and  safe  operation  of  a  chain
hoist,  do  not  use  until  proper  training  and
knowledge have been obtained.

8. Do not use this chain hoist for other than its

intended use. If used for other purposes,
JET disclaims any real or implied warranty
and holds itself harmless from any injury that
may result from that use.

9. Do not use to lift people or loads over

people.

10. Do not exceed the rated capacity of the

chain hoist.

11. Do not use more than hand power to pull the

hand chain.

12. Do not use the load chain as a sling; this

may cause damage to the chain.

13. Always inspect the chain hoist for damage

prior to use. If the chain hoist is damaged,
do not use until it has been repaired or
replaced.

14. Do not use more than one chain hoist to lift

or move a load. If this is unavoidable, each
chain hoist must have the same capacity as
the load to be moved.

15.

Never allow the load chain to “set” over
sharp edges. All lifts must be made with
straight chain that is free of obstacles.

16. If the hand chain is difficult to operate, then

the load exceeds the capacity of the chain
hoist. Select a chain hoist of larger capacity.

17. Do not use a chain hoist unless load is

centered between top and bottom hooks.

18. Always take time to study the job to be

performed and choose the safest method.
Do not place yourself or other people in an
unsafe position.

19. Stand to one side of the load being lifted and

make  sure  no  one  else  is  standing
underneath  when  lifting  a  load.  Should  a
load  slip,  it  will  descend  at  a  high  rate  of
speed  and  can  cause  serious  injuries  to
anyone standing directly underneath.

20. Leave all internal maintenance to a qualified

JET Service Center.

21. Replace the chain with factory replacement

chain only. Do not use any other type of
chain.

22. If welding near the hoist, do not allow the

chain or hook to be touched by a live
electrode. Prevent weld splatter upon the
chain.

23. Never use the chain hoist if either hook is

stretched,  deformed,  or  has  a  broken  or
missing  safety  latch.  Always  replace  the
safety  latch  and/or  the  hook  before  placing
the chain hoist back into service.

24. Understand and follow all procedures as set

forth in American National Standards titled

“Performance Standard for Hand Chain
Manually

Operated

Chain

ists.”

ANSI/ASME HST-2; and

“Overhead Hoists

(Underhung),”

ANSI/ASME B30.16. These

standards
