Parts List and Diagram
1. Attach the upper Safety Hook to a rope, chain or another structure that will fully support at least 150 lb.
WARNING! All 3 parts of the Safety Hook must be engaged to the supporting rope, chain, or structure. Failure to engage the hook properly could cause serious injury.
2. When setting up the Rope Hoist, note the difference in the Upper and Lower Hoist, (see photo at right). The Lower Hoist includes the end-of-rope locking device. Always connect this Lower Hoist to the object being lifted or pulled.
3. With the upper Safety Hook supporting the Rope Hoist, inspect and test the Rope Hoist before attempting to lift the workpiece. Make sure the rope is in good condition and is not kinked or twisted between the hoists. Pull the loose pulling rope to make sure the hoists are functioning properly.
4. Connect the 3 parts of the lower Safety Hook to a supporting chain, rope or other connecting device that is supporting the workpiece to be lifted or pulled.
WARNING! Maintain safe work area. Before and during the lift, keep spectators clear of the work area. Keep clear of the area under the lifted item at all times.
5. Carefully pull the loose Pulling Rope and slowly lift or pull the workpiece. Tension must be maintained on the loose Pulling Rope to keep the workpiece aloft. After the workpiece is in the desired position, it can be lowered by slowly and carefully releasing tension in the loose Pulling Rope.
6. After the lift or pull is complete, safely support the workpiece and disconnect the Rope Hoist.
