Warning
1. Read and understand the entire owner’s manual before attempting operation. Failure to comply with
instructions and warnings may cause serious injury.
2. This lever 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 lever hoist, do not use until proper
training and knowledge have been obtained.
3. Do not use this lever hoist for other than its intended use. If used for other purposes, Walter Meier
(Manufacturing) Inc., disclaims any real or implied warranty and holds itself harmless from any injury
that may result from that use.
4. Do not use lever hoist to lift, support or transport people; or to lift or support loads over people.
5. Do not exceed the rated capacity of the hoist.
6. Do not attempt to extend the lever handle using a “cheater pipe” or any other such device.
7. Do not strike the lever handle with a hammer or any other object.
8. Do not use the chain as a sling. This may cause damage to the chain.
9. Always inspect the lever hoist for damage prior to use. If hoist is damaged, do not use until it has
been repaired or replaced.
10. Do not use more than one lever hoist to lift or move a load. If this is unavoidable, each hoist must
have the same capacity as the load to be moved.
11. Never allow chain to “set” over sharp edges. All pulls or lifts must be made with straight chain that is
free of obstacles.
12. If the lever handle is difficult to operate, then the load exceeds the capacity of t he hoist. Reduce load
or select a hoist of larger capacity.
13. Do not use hoist if the chain is twisted, kinked or damaged.
14. Do not operate hoist unless load is centered between top and bottom hooks.
15. On hoists with the overload warning lever, do not use this device to measure load weight.
16. 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.
17. Always maintain your balance and firm footing when operating the lever hoist.
18. Leave all internal maintenance and inspections to a qualified Walter Meier Service Center.
19. Do not attempt to lengthen or repair load chain.
20. Replace chain with factory replacement chain only. Do not use any other type of chain.
21. 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.
22. Never use the 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 hoist back in service.
23. Be sure supporting structures and load-attaching devices used in conjunction with this lever hoist
provide an adequate safety factor to handle the rated load plus the weight of the equipment. If in
doubt, consult a qualified structural engineer.
24. Understand and follow all procedures as set forth in American National Standards titled “Performance
Standard for Manually Lever Operated Chain Hoists.” ANSI/ASME HST-3M. This standard is
available through the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, Three Park Ave., New York, NY
10016, or visit www.ASME.org
25. Keep visitors a safe distance from the work area. Keep children away.
