INFLUENCE OF DRUGS OR
ALCOHOL.
7. KEEP ALL SAFETY DEVICES IN
PLACE and in working order.
8. LIFTING POWER. This ratchet hoist
is designed to be comfortable for
one person to lift the load using

Safety Instructions for Ratchet Hoists
1. KEEP ALL SAFETY DEVICES IN
PLACE and in good working order.
2. LIFTING POWER. This ratchet hoist
is designed to be comfortable for
one person to lift the load using
only hand power. Never use a motor
or an additional mechanical device
with this ratchet hoist to lift the
load.
3. SAFETY HOOKS. Before lifting,
inspect the safety hooks to make
certain they are securely attached,
and verify that the safety catches
are operating correctly.
4. METAL FATIGUE. Before using,
inspect the hooks, chains, and hoist
housing to verify that the metal
parts do not have cracks or other
signs of potential failure.
5. DYNAMIC LOADING. Swinging or
jerking the load will cause dynamic
loading that could exceed the
capacities of the hoist, which could
result in the load falling.
6. VERTICAL MOVEMENT. The ratchet
hoist is designed to only move the
load straight up and straight down.
Swinging or dragging the load could
cause hoist failure.
7. CHAIN ENTANGLEMENT. Always
make sure the chains are not
twisted around each other before
lifting. Keep body parts, long hair,
and jewelry away from the chains
and hooks to prevent entanglement
during lifting.

8. WARNING LABEL. Always make sure
the warning label on the hoist is
legible so that the operator can be
aware of the immediate hazards
of operating the hoist. If the label
becomes damaged, replace it.
7. CRUSHING HAZARD. If the load
should fall, it could cause death or
serious personal injury to anyone
underneath the hoist. Always make
sure the operator and bystanders
never move under the load.
8. OPERATION SPEED. Use a slow
and steady pace when raising or
lowering the load to avoid jerking
or tangling the chains and load.
9. HEAD PROTECTION. Always wear a
hard hat or similar head protection
when using the hoist.
10. OPERATIONAL DIFFICULTY. If
the lifting chain seems to require
excessive force to lift the load,
check for the following and resolve
them before continuing:
— Is the load heavier than the rated
capacity of the hoist?
— Are the chains or load entangled in
any way?
— Is an obstacle blocking the load or
chains?
— Are the chains and load not directly
under the hoist?
— Have the gears inside the hoist
housing jammed?
READ and understand this entire manual before using this hoist. Serious personal
injury may occur if safety and operational information is not understood and
followed. DO NOT risk your safety by not reading!
