2. Estimate the load that is to be lifted or moved and make sure it does not exceed the hoist’s rated capacity (550 lbs. / 250 Kg. for the Series 602 and 1100 lbs. / 500 Kg. for the Series 603).
3. Make sure that the support to which the upper hook is attached is strong enough to hold several times the weight of the load. Be sure the hoist is solidly held in in the uppermost part
f the upper hook, the latch is closed and the latch does not contact the support.
o
4. Make sure that the hoist is rigged so that the upper and lower hooks will form a straight line when the hoist is operated and the frame is free to swivel and will not come in contact with any object.
5. Spanish and French Warning labels for the loose end ring are packed separately.
f needed, attach these to the loose end ring at installation.

FREE CHAINING
n this mode, the load can be pulled through the hoist in either direction by hand for quick attachment
I
o the load. To set the hoist to free chaining mode:
t
1. With no load on the hoist, move the directional lever to the center (neutral) position.
2. *Pull the load chain, in either direction, to its desired length so that the lower hook can be attached to the load. Note that the chain must feed into the hoist freely. If it does not,
check for twisted chain. A twisted chain may become damaged by the chain guide rollers or liftwheel and result in chain damage. *Pull the chain slowly and be careful: HANDLE MAY SPIN.
OPERATING THE LEVER HOIST
he Series 602/603 Lever Hoist can be used in any position as long as it is rigged to pull in a straight
T line from hook to hook and the frame is free to swivel on the upper hook.
If the hoist is not rigged in a straight line hook to hook manner or if the frame is not free to swivel on the upper hook, handle pull may break the frame, bend upper hook and/or break the chain and cause physical injury or loss of load.
Always rig the hoist in a straight line hook to hook manner and do not allow the frame to touch the load or any object when in use.
When operating in limited spaces, use attachments or slings to make sure the frame is free to swivel on the upper hook and that there are no obstructions that would prevent you from operating the hoist.
1. Suspend or attach the hoist from an adequate support (see INSTALLATION).
2. Following the instruction for FREE CHAINING, take up the slack chain and attach the lower hook to load to be lifted or moved. Make sure that the load will be applied to the bowl of the lower hook and that it will not be applied to the latch or tip of the hook.
3. To lift or pull load, set the directional lever to () LOAD position and slowly pull chain in either direction by hand to ensure the hoist is out of the free chaining mode. Be careful: HANDLE MAY SPIN. Then operate the handle up and down to tension the load only enough to check that the brake is engaged and that the attachments to hooks and load are firmly seated. Then repeatedly operate the handle up and down to lift or pull the load. DO NOT OVERLOAD! A handle pull of 58 pounds (26 Kg.) results in applying the maximum capacity of 550 pounds (250 Kg.) to the Series 602 hoist, and a handle pull of 56 lbs. (25 Kg.) results in applying the maximum capacity of 1100 lbs. (500 Kg.) to a Series 603 hoist.
4. To lower or loosen the load, move the directional lever to the () UNLOAD position and operate the handle up and down repeatedly.
With no load on the hoist and when the directional lever is in the () LOAD or () UNLOAD position, pulling sharply on either end of the chain will cause the handle to spin rapidly.
TO AVOID INJURY:
Never pull sharply on either end of the chain when the directional lever is in the () LOAD or () UNLOAD position.
