2.3.2 Optional Inspection Hooks
Figure 2-5 Inspection Hooks
Figure 2-6 CF Chain Container
The Inspection Hook is designed to facilitate the inspection of the internal surfaces of the hook
yoke and shank portion of the hook itself. The Inspection Hook is suitable for applications where
inspection of the internal parts of the hook set is required. The inspection hook uses the standard
Harrington hook set and is assembled with high-strength locking fasteners instead of rivets.
Inspection hooks are available in top and bottom versions. Refer to Figure 2-5.
Disassembly and re-assembly involves removal and reinstallation of the yoke fasteners of the
Inspection Hook Set Assembly followed by testing of the hoist prior to returning it to service.
The Inspection Hook is available for CF005 through CF015 hoists.
See Section 9.2, Parts List for a complete Inspection Hook part listing.
See Table 6-3 for yoke nut torque specifications.
2.3.3 Optional Chain Containers
Chain containers are sized based on the capacity and lift of the hoist. The containers are
constructed from vinyl coated canvas with a steel frame on top. The containers are prepared
differently depending on the hoist model. See Harrington document EDOC0154 for sizing
information.

4.1 Introduction
The operation of a hoist involves more than activating the hoist’s controls. Per the ANSI/ASME B30 standards, the use
of a hoist is subject to certain hazards that cannot be mitigated by engineered features, but only by the exercise of
intelligence, care, common sense, and experience in anticipating the effects and results of activating the hoist’s controls.
Use this guidance in conjunction with other warnings, cautions, and notices in this manual to govern the operation and
use of your hoist.
13
Improper operation of a hoist can create a potentially hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury,
and substantial property damage. To avoid such a potentially
hazardous situation THE OPERATOR SHALL:
4.2 Shall’s and Shall Not’s for Operation
• NOT lift more than rated load for the hoist.
• NOT use damaged hoist or hoist that is not working
properly.
• NOT use hoist with twisted, kinked, damaged, or
worn chain.
• NOT use hoist if the bottom hook is capsized
(multiple fall hoists - see Section 3.1).
• NOT leave load supported by the hoist unattended
unless specific precautions have been taken.
• NOT allow the chain, or hook to be used as an
electrical or welding ground.
• NOT allow the chain, or hook to be touched by a
