WARNING

Do not operate this hoist until you have carefully read and understood the "WARNINGS" and "OPERATION" sections of this manual. Failure to follow the “WARNINGS” and “OPERATION” sections in this manual may result in serious injury or death.

WARNINGS

• OPERATORS MUST BE TRAINED IN THE PROPER OPERATION OF THE HOIST.

• STAY OUT FROM UNDER AND AWAY FROM RAISED LOADS. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS

INJURY OR DEATH.

• STAY AWAY FROM CABLES IN TENSION. A BROKEN CABLE MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

• DO NOT EXCEED MAXIMUM LINE PULL RATINGS SHOWN IN SPECIFICATION TABLES.

• DO NOT USE HOIST TO LIFT, SUPPORT, OR OTHERWISE TRANSPORT PEOPLE.

• A MINIMUM OF 5 WRAPS OF CABLE AROUND THE DRUM BARREL IS NECESSARY TO HOLD THE LOAD.

CABLE ANCHOR IS NOT DESIGNED TO HOLD LOAD.

• AVOID SHOCK LOADS. THIS TYPE OF LOAD PUTS A STRAIN ON THE HOIST MANY TIMES THE ACTUAL

WEIGHT RATED FOR THE HOIST.

• HOIST MUST BE PROPERLY MAINTAINED.

• DO NOT USE EP TYPE GEAR LUBES IN THE BRAKE SECTION OF THIS WINCH. EP LUBES MAY PREVENT

THE CLUTCH FROM LOCKING UP, WHICH, IN TURN CAUSES THE LOAD TO FALL, RESULTING IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY, OR DEATH.

CABLE INSTALLATION

1. Unwind cable by rolling it out along the ground to prevent kinking. Securely wrap end of wire rope, opposite hook, with plastic or similar tape to prevent fraying.

2. Slide the wire rope through narrow end of the pocket against the drum flange. Wrap the wire rope around on the anchor (item #16) and pull the wire rope and anchor back into the wide end of the pocket. Use a soft hammer to drive the back side of the wire rope, firmly seating the wire rope and anchor into the pockets

3. Carefully run the hoist in the “reel-in” direction. Keeping tension on end of cable, spool all the cable onto the cable drum, taking care to form neatly wrapped layers.

HOIST OPERATION

The best way to get acquainted with how your hoist operates is to make test runs before you use it. Plan your test in advance. Remember, you hear your hoist, as well as see it operate; learn to recognize the sounds of a light steady pull, a heavy pull, and sounds caused by load jerking or shifting. Gain confidence in operating your hoist and its use will become second nature with you.

The uneven spooling of cable while pulling a load is not a problem, unless there is a cable pileup on one end of drum. If this happens reverse the hoist to relieve the load and move your anchor point further to the center of the vehicle. After the job is done you can unspool and rewind for a neat lay of the cable.

MAINTENANCE

The owner is to ensure proper inspection intervals, in compliance with ANSI B30.5, 5-2.3, and will review hoist usage categories on a periodic basis. A Qualified Inspector should perform all maintenance and inspections.

• For hoist in occasional use less than 10 hours per month it is recommended a pre-use inspection and

an annual 12 month inspection based on average use over a quarter. For hoist in moderate use, more than 10 but less than 50 hours per month, it is recommended a pre-

•

use inspection, quarterly inspection, and an annual 12-month inspection based on average use over a quarter.

For hoist in heavy use, more than 50 hours per month it is recommended a pre-use inspection, monthly

•

inspection, quarterly inspection, and an annual 12 months inspection.
