HOIST SAFETY IS UP TO YOU...
–DO NOT APPLY MORE THAN RATED LOAD.
1 CHOOSE THE RIGHT HOIST FOR THE JOB...
Choose a Yale Lever Hoist with a capacity
or the job. Know the capacities of your
f
hoists and the weight of your loads. Then
atch them.
m
2 INSPECT
All hoists should be visually inspected
efore use, in addition to regular, periodic
b
maintenance inspections.
Inspect hoists for operational warning
notices and legibility.
Deficiencies should be noted and brought to
the attention of supervisors. Be sure
defective hoists are tagged and taken out of
service until repairs are made.
The application, the size and type of load,
he attachments to be used and the period
t
of use must also be taken into consideration
n selecting the right hoist for the job.
i
– DO NOT OPERATE DAMAGED OR MALFUNCTIONING UNIT.
– DO NOT OPERATE WITH TWISTED, KINKED OR DAMAGED
CHAIN.
nder no circumstances should you operate
U
a malfunctioning hoist.
Check chain for gouged, twisted, distorted
links and foreign material. Do not operate
hoists with twisted, kinked or damaged
chain links.
– DO NOT PULL AT AN ANGLE. BE SURE LEVER HOIST AND
LOAD ARE IN A STRAIGHT LINE.
– DO NOT USE UNLESS FRAME AND CHAIN FORM A
STRAIGHT LINE BETWEEN HOOKS.
– DO NOT USE IF FRAME IS IN CONTACT WITH ANY OBJECT.
– DO NOT USE LOAD CHAIN AS A SLING.
– DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION ON THE LEVER.
Remember the hoist was designed to ease
ur burden and carelessness not only
o
endangers the operator, but in many cases,
valuable load.
a
Load chain should be properly lubricated.
Hooks that are bent, worn or whose
penings are enlarged beyond normal
o
throat opening should not be used. If latch
does not engage throat opening of hook,
hoist should be taken out service.
Chains should be checked for deposits of
foreign material which may be carried into
the hoist mechanism.
Check brake for evidence of slippage under
load.
3 USE HOIST PROPERLY
Be sure the hoist is solidly held in
the uppermost part of the support
hook arc.
Be sure the hoist and load are in a
straight line. Do not use unless
frame and chain form a straight
line between hooks.
4 PRACTICE CAUTION ALWAYS
Do not lift co-workers with a Yale Lever
Hoist.
Make sure everyone is clear of the load
when you apply tension.
Do not remove or obscure operational
warning notices.
VIOLATION OF ANY OF THESE WARNINGS LISTED MAY RESULT SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY TO THE
iii
OPERATOR OR NEARBY PERSONNEL BY RELEASED LOAD OR BROKEN HOIST COMPONENTS.
Be sure load is hooked securely.
Do not tip load the hook. Do not
load hook latch. Hook latch is to
prevent detachment of load under
slack chain conditions only.
– DO NOT LIFT PEOPLE OR LOADS OVER PEOPLE.
Do not operate with hoist frame
resting against any object. Apply
the load gently. Do not jerk it.
5 OPERATOR SERVICE
CLEANING: Lever Hoists should be kept
clean and free of dust, dirt, moisture, etc.,
which will in any way affect the operation or
safety of the equipment.
LUBRICATION: Chain should be properly
lubricated.
AFTER REPAIRS: Carefully operate the
hoist before returning it to full service.
Never use an extension on the
lever! You’re dangerously
overloading the hoist if you exceed
the rated lever pull or if you have
to use a lever extension to lift or
pull a load.

®
load chain for long and dependable service.
Latchlok®Hooks
Latchlok hooks are available to replace the standard latch
type hooks. The unique design of the Latchlok hook assures
that it will stay locked until the operator releases it by
depressing the release button. It will not open accidentallyeven if the load chain goes slack. Once opened, it can be
shut with one hand or by the weight of the load when it is
lifted. Latchlok hooks can be supplied with the hoist or it can
be provided in kit form for lever hoists already in service.
We reserve the right to change materials or design if, in our
opinion, such changes will improve our product. Abuse,
repair by an unauthorized person, or use of non-Yale
replacement parts voids the guarantee and could lead to
dangerous operation. For full Terms of Sale, see Sales
Order Acknowledgment. Also, refer to the back cover for
Limitations of Warranties, Remedies and Damages, and
Indemnification and Safe Operation.
WARNING
ALTERATIONS OR MODIFICATIONS OF EQUIPMENT AND USE OF
NON-YALE REPAIR PARTS CAN LEAD TO DANGEROUS
OPERATION AND INJURY.
TO AVOID INJURY:
• DO NOT ALTER OR MODIFY EQUIPMENT.
• DO USE ONLY YALE PROVIDED REPLACEMENT PARTS.
OPTIONS
Load Limiter
The Load Limited is a friction device that is designed and
factory calibrated to prevent lifting excessive overloads. An
excessive overload is indicated by lever movement without
corresponding movement of the lower hook or load when the
hoist is operated in the up direction. Should this occur,
operate the lever in the down direction to remove the
overload. Reducing the load to rated capacity or less will
automatically restore normal operation. The Load Limiter
can be ordered as part of a new lever hoist or in kit form that
can be added to units now in service.
®
Anchor Sling (for 3/4 and 1-1/2 ton units only)
Anchor Sling is an upper hook extender that simplifies
attachment when application or space limitation makes it
impossible to pull in a straight line from hook to hook. A
swiveling hook block is securely anchored to the housing
and the upper hook swivels through a full 360°. Anchor
Sling may be ordered as a feature of your new hoist or in kit
form for simple installation on units now in use.
INSTALLATION
UNPACKING
After removing the hoist from the carton, check it for damage
that may have occurred during shipment. If there is
damage, refer to the packing slip envelope for claims
procedure.
INSTALLATION
The RS2 Lever Hoist is designed for operation at ambient
temperatures of 0° to 100° F (-17° to 38° C). It can be used
in any position for pulling a load at an angle, horizontal
pulling or vertical lifting, provided it is rigged to pull in a
straight line from hook to hook and the frame is free to
swivel on the upper hook.

WARNING
IF THE UNIT IS NOT RIGGED IN A STRAIGHT LINE,
HOOK TO HOOK MANNER, AND IF THE FRAME IS
NOT FREE TO SWIVEL, LEVER PULL MAY BREAK
FRAME AND CAUSE PHYSICAL INJURY AND LOSS
OF LOAD.
TO AVOID INJURY:
RIG THE UNIT IN A STRAIGHT LINE HOOK TO
HOOK MANNER AND KEEP FRAME FREE TO
SWIVEL - SEE FIGURE ON PAGE 3.
Regardless of how the hoist is used, make sure that the
upper hook is firmly attached to a support or anchor that has
sufficient strength to hold several times the rated load of the
hoist.
H.Never operate the hoist when flammable materials or
vapors are present. Contact between metal parts may
produce sparks that can cause a fire or explosion.
I. STAY ALERT! Watch what you are doing and use
common sense. Do not use the hoist when you are tired,
distracted or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication causing diminished control.
WARNING
MALFUNCTION OF UNIT, RIGGING SLIP OR LOSS
OF FOOTING MAY CAUSE USER TO SLIP
RESULTING IN INJURY.
TO AVOID INJURY:
ALWAYS HAVE A FIRM AND SECURE FOOTING
WHEN USING THE RS2 LEVER HOIST.
Using the upper hook, attach the hoist
to support.
Be sure hoist is solidly held in the
uppermost part of the hook arc and
the latch is tightly against the hook tip.
WARNING
ATTACHING THE HOIST FROM AN INADEQUATE

WARNING
IF NOT USED AS DIRECTED, HOIST MAY CAUSE
INJURY.
TO AVOID INJURY:
USE ONLY AS DIRECTED BELOW. READ ALL
INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE OPERATING THE RS2
LEVER HOIST.
GENERAL
A. The hoist must be kept clean to assure proper operation.
Before use, check to be sure the load chain is clean, that
there is no foreign material in the liftwheel area and that
the lever operates freely.
B. Do not load beyond the rated capacity. Overload can
cause immediate failure or cause damage resulting in
future failure, even at less than rated capacity.
C.Do not use this hoist or any other material handling
equipment for lifting or moving people, or lifting loads over
people.
D.Stand clear of all loads and warn other people of your
intention to move a load in their area.
E. Do not leave a load on the unit unattended.
F. Read warnings and instructions on the lever before each

FREE-CHAINING
WARNING
FAILURE TO PROPERLY USE THE FREE-CHAIN MECHANISM
MAY CAUSE INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
TO AVOID INJURY:
USE THE FREE-CHAIN MECHANISMAS DIRECTED BELOW.
In this mode of operation, the gearing is disengaged to allow
the chain to be easily pulled through the hoist by hand, for
quick attachment to the load.
To free-chain the RS2 Lever Hoist:
1. Make sure there is no load on the lower hook.
2. Turn the lever trigger 1/4 turn from “UP” or “DN”.
3. Rotate the cam knob 1/4 turn clockwise (to right) from
“OPERATE” to “FREE-CHAIN”. A “click” will be heard or
felt and the cam cannot be rotated further in the clockwise
position.
ATTACHING TO LOAD
Attach the lower hook to the load so that it is seated in the
bowl of the hook and is not bearing against the tip of the
hook, and the latch is tight against the hook tip.
4. Pull on hook side and loose end side of load chain to
make sure chain feeds freely into and out of the hoist.
5. Grasp unit by frame or upper hook and pull on end ring or
lower hook to pull the chain through hoist to the length
required to attach lower hook to load. Pull on end ring to
take-up slack in chain and THEN LET GO OF END RING.
6. Rotate the cam counterclockwise (to left) until the arrow
points to “operate”.
WARNING
ALLOWING THE LOAD TO BEAR AGAINST THE
HOOK LATCH AND/OR HOOK TIP CAN RESULT IN
LOSS OF LOAD.
TO AVOID INJURY:
DO NOT ALLOW THE LOAD TO BEAR AGAINST THE
HOOK LATCH AND/OR HOOK TIP. APPLY LOAD TO
HOOK BOWL OR SADDLE ONLY.
Do not wrap the load chain around the load and hook onto
itself as a choker chain sling or bring the load in contact with
the hoist. Doing this will result in the loss of the swivel effect
of the hook which could cause twisted chain and a jammed
liftwheel. Also, the chain may be damaged at the hook.
Make sure the upper and lower hooks are in a straight line
and the frame is free to swivel on the upper hook. If the
proposed use prevents straight line attachment, use an
Anchor Sling (see page 1) or a chain sling to obtain a
straight line pull.
WARNING
IF THE UNIT IS NOT RIGGED IN A STRAIGHT LINE
HOOK TO HOOK MANNER, AND IF THE FRAME IS
NOT FREE TO SWIVEL, LEVER PULL MAY BREAK
FRAME AND CAUSE PHYSICAL INJURY AND LOSS
OF LOAD.
7. Pull sharply on the loose end of chain and THEN LET GO
OF CHAIN. Pull sharply on the lower hook side of chain,
to make sure gearing is fully engaged.
WARNING
FAILURE TO FULLY ENGAGE THE GEARING WILL
ALLOW LOAD TO RELEASE AND THUS CAUSE INJURY
TO AVOID INJURY:
AFTER ROTATING CAM KNOB TO “OPERATE”, PULL
EACH CHAIN SHARPLY TO RE-ENGAGE GEARING AS
DIRECTED ABOVE.
8. The hoist is now ready for operation. Move trigger to “UP”
position and operate lever in and up and down motion to
shorten the distance between hooks and thus pull or lift
load. Only move the load enough to slightly load the hoist.
Check free-play of cam knob. The arrow tip should
not move more than 3/16 inch (4.7mm). If
movement is greater than this, move trigger to
“DN” position and operate the
lever to remove the load. Repeat step 7 and if
the free-play is still more than 3/16 inch (4.7mm), the hoist
should be disassembled to check for damaged or worn
parts. Do not take up the load chain to the point where
the end ring or lower hook block becomes jammed
against the frame.

load the unit, then check to be sure that the attachments to
the hooks and load are firmly seated. Continue movement
only after you are assured the load is free of all obstructions.
The hoist has been designed for hand powered operation
only. Do not use an extension on the lever. Lever pulls of
45 pounds (21kg.) on the 3/4 ton unit, 55 pounds (25kg.) on
the 1-1/2 ton unit and 62 pounds (28kg.) on the 3 ton unit
will result in rated capacity on the unit. Any greater pull is
an indication of either an overload or an incorrectly
maintained unit.
TO LOOSEN OR LOWER LOAD
WARNING
POWER OPERATION MAY CAUSE STRUCTURAL
DAMAGE OR PREMATURE WEAR THAT IN TURN
MAY CAUSE A PART TO BREAK AND ALLOW THE
LOAD TO FALL.
TO AVOID INJURY:
OPERATE THE RS2 LEVER HOIST USING
HAND POWER ONLY!
As a result, the lever will move but, there will be no
corresponding movement of the lower hook or load, when
the unit is operated in the “up” direction. Should this occur,
immediately move the trigger to the “DN” position and
operate the lever until the overload is set down and removed
from the unit. Reducing the load to rated capacity or less
will automatically return the hoist to normal operation.
CAUTION: THE LOAD LIMITER IS SUBJECT TO
OVERHEATING AND WEAR WHEN EXCESSIVELY
OPERATED. FOR THIS REASON, WHEN AN OVERLOAD
IS DETECTED, THE EXCESS LOAD MUST BE REMOVED
AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE WITHOUT CONTINUED
OPERATION OF THE LEVER.
Under certain conditions, such as applying an overload and
removing it by external means, the brake may become
“locked”. This results in not being able to operate the unit in
the “down” direction. Should this occur, move the trigger to
the “DN” position and give the lever a sharp pull and then
additional strokes to lower the load and remove tension from
the unit.
Move lever trigger to “DN” position. Again, operate lever in
an up and down motion to increase the distance between
hooks and thus loosen or lower the load.
Note that the cam is NOT changed when changing from “up”
to “down” or from “down” to “up” operation.
WARNING
TURNING THE CAM WITH A LOAD ATTACHED WILL
ALLOW THE LOAD TO RELEASE AND MAY CAUSE
INJURY.
TO AVOID INJURY:
NEVER TURN THE CAM WHEN THE HOIST IS
UNDER LOAD.
INSPECT THE RS2 LEVER HOIST
Inspect the RS2 before each use and at specified intervals
as directed in the inspection section (see next column).
LOAD LIMITER
The operation of a RS2 Lever Hoist equipped with a Load
Limiter is the same as described above. In fact, as long as
you are pulling or lifting loads that are within the rated
capacity of the hoist, the Load Limiter will not function and
you will not notice any difference in operation. However, if
attempting to pull or lift load that is approximately 20%
greater than rated capacity, the Load Limiter will function.
®
WARNING -
Use as directed above. Failure to do so may cause
injury to you or others.
1. Do not exceed capacity shown on frame or lower
hook block.
2. Do not use to lift people or loads over people.
3. Do not use unless the hoist’s frame and chain form
a straight line between hooks.
4. Do not use if the frame is in contact with any object.
5. Do not use if the unit is damaged or malfunctions.
6. Do not use extension on lever. Use hand power
only.
7. Do not use if chain is twisted, kinked or damaged.
TO AVOID INJURY:
MAINTENANCE
INSPECTION
To maintain continuous and satisfactory operation, a regular
periodic inspection procedure must be initiated so that worn,
damaged and missing parts can be replaced before the unit
becomes unsafe. The frequency of inspection must be
determined by the individual application.
The following list gives an inspection procedure for
normal usage under normal conditions.
When the unit is subjected to heavy usage or dusty, gritty,
moist or corrosive atmospheric conditions, shorter time
periods must be assigned. Inspection must be made of all
parts for unusual wear, corrosion or damage, in addition to
those specifically mentioned in the schedule on page 5.
Make certain that the unit is complete and contains all parts
including hook latches and end ring.
Any parts that are deemed unserviceable must be replaced
with new parts before the unit is returned to service. It is
very important that the unserviceable parts be destroyed and
properly disposed of to prevent their possible future use as a
repair item. Use only Yale Hoist supplied repair parts as
other parts may look the same but may not be to proper
specifications.
4
Inspection of hoists is divided into two general classifications
designated as “frequent” and “periodic”.
Frequent Inspections
Any hook that is twisted or has excessive throat opening
indicates abuse or overloading of the unit. Other loadsustaining components of the hoist should be inspected for
damage.
These inspections are by the operator or other designated
personnel. Frequent inspections are to be performed daily
or prior to each use and they are to include the following:
A. Check for free movement of the lever, trigger and cam.
B. Operate hoist with no load and check for visual signs or
abnormal noises that could indicate a potential problem.
C. Check brake for evidence of slippage.
D. Check chain for lubrication, wear damaged links or
foreign material (see page 6).
E. Check hooks for damage, cracks, twist, latch
engagement and latch operation (see below).
F. Check lever for bends, cracks and damage.
G. Check support or anchor for damage.
Any deficiencies noted during the frequent inspections must
be corrected before using the hoist.
Periodic Inspections
These are visual inspections by an appointed person who
records conditions to provide a basis for a continuing
evaluation of the hoist. Periodic inspections are to be
performed semi-annually and they should include the
following:
A. All items listed under frequent inspections.
B. Evidence of loose screws.
C. Evidence of worn, corroded, cracked or distorted upper
and lower hook blocks, frame, end ring, hook block
screws, covers, lever, suspension bolt, gears, bearings,
pawls, pawl springs, cam, cam pins, lever cover, freechaining spring, ratchet hub, stripper, Load Limiter (if
equipped with same), ratchet and hoist hanger.
D. Evidence of worn, glazed or oil contaminated friction
discs. Friction discs should be replaced if their thickness
is less than .075 inch (2 mm).
E. Warning label for legibility.
NOTE: To perform some of the periodic inspections, it is
necessary to partially disassemble the hoist. Refer
to Disassembly-Assembly starting on page 7. Also,
the external conditions may show the need for more
detailed inspection which, in turn, may require the
use of non-destructive type testing.
Any deficiencies noted during the periodic inspection must
be corrected before using the hoist.
Hook Inspection
On latch type hooks, check to make sure that the latch is not
damaged or bent and that it operates properly with sufficient
spring pressure to keep the latch tightly against the tip of the
hook and allow the latch to spring back to the tip when
released. If the latch does not operate properly, it must be
replaced. See previous illustration to determine when the
hook must be replaced.
Replace Hook If
Opening Is
Greater Than
1-1/8” (28.5 mm)
on 3/4 and 1-1/2
ton units or 115/16”(49.2mm)
on 3 ton unit.
Replace Hook If Seat Is Less
Than 21/32” (16.7 mm) on 3/4
and 1-1/2 ton units or 1-1/8”
(28.5mm) on 3 ton unit.
On Latchlok type hooks, measure seat wear and throat
opening as shown above and replace hook if measurements
indicate the need to do same.
LOAD CHAIN
Chain should feed smoothly into and away from the hoist. If
chain binds, jumps or is noisy, first clean and lubricate it (see
below). If trouble persists, inspect chain and mating parts
for wear, distortion or other damage.
Chain Inspection
First clean chain with a non-caustic/non-acid type solvent
and make a link by link inspection for nicks, gouges, twisted
links, weld spatter, corrosion pits, striations (minute parallel
lines), cracks in weld areas, wear and stretching. Chain with
any one of these defects must be replaced.
Slack the portion of the chain that normally passes over the
.250 (6.3 mm) for 3/4 ton unit
.312 (7.9 mm) for 1-1/2 and 3 ton units
Weld
Hooks damaged from chemicals, deformations, or cracks, or
that have more than a 10° twist from the plane of the unbent
hook or excessive opening or seat wear must be replaced.

purpose). Compare these two measurements. If the stock
diameter of the worn link is 0.010 inches (0.254mm), or
more, less than the stock diameter of the unworn link, the
chain must be replaced.

Vernier Caliper
When lubricating the chain, apply sufficient lubricant to
obtain natural run-off and full coverage, especially in the
interlink area.
LUBRICATION
Refer to Exploded View and Parts List pages 10 thru 13.
Measure
11 Pitches
Also check chain for stretch using a vernier caliper as shown
above. Select an unused, unstretched section of chain
(usually at the loose end) and measure and record the
length over 11 chain links (pitches). Measure and record the
same length on a worn section of chain. Obtain the amount
of stretch and wear by subtracting the measurement of the
unworn section from the measurement of the worn section.
If the result (amount of stretch and wear) is greater than
0.145 inch (3.7 mm), the chain must be replaced.

WARNING
USING OTHER THAN YALE SUPPLIED LOAD CHAIN MAY
CAUSE THE CHAIN TO JAM IN THE HOIST AND/OR ALLOW THE
CHAIN TO BREAK AND THE LOAD TO DROP.
TO AVOID INJURY:
DUE TO SIZE REQUIREMENTS AND PHYSICAL PROPERTIES,
USE ONLY HOISTALOY
HOIST.
Use only a “Knife-Edge” caliper to eliminate possibility of
false reading by not measuring full pitch length. Note that
worn chain can be an indication of worn hoist components.
For this reason, the hoist’s frame, stripper, and liftwheel
should be examined for wear and replaced as necessary
when replacing worn chain.
Also, the load chain is specially heat treated and hardened
and should never be repaired.
IMPORTANT:
Do not use replaced chain for other purposes such as
lifting or pulling. Load chain may break suddenly
without visual deformation. For this reason, cut
replaced chain into short lengths to prevent use after
disposal.

LOAD CHAIN IN THE RS2 LEVER
Chain Lubrication
A small amount of lubricant will greatly increase the life of
load chain. Do not allow the chain to run dry. Keep it clean
and lubricate at regular intervals with Lubriplate
Chain Oil 10-R (Fiske Bros. Refining Co.) or equal lubricant.
Normally, weekly cleaning and lubrication is satisfactory, but
under hot and dirty conditions, it may be necessary to clean
the chain at least once a day and lubricate it several times
between cleanings.

WARNING
USING ANY GREASE OR LUBRICANT ON THE
BRAKING SURFACES WILL CAUSE BRAKE
SLIPPAGE AND LOSS OF LOAD CONTROL WHICH
MAY RESULT IN INJURYAND/OR PROPERTY
DAMAGE.
TO AVOID INJURY:
DO NOT USE ANY GREASE OR LUBRICANT ON
BRAKING SURFACES. THE BRAKE IS DESIGNED
When lubricating parts adjacent to the brake, DO NOT use
an excessive amount of lubricant which could seep onto the
brake surfaces.
EXTERIOR FINISH
The exterior surface of the RS2 Lever Hoist has a durable,
scratch resistant baked powder coating. Normally, the
exterior surfaces can be cleaned by wiping with a cloth.
However, if the finish is damaged, compatible touch-up paint
can be purchased from Yale. Refer to page 13 for
information on ordering paint.
PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
A preventative maintenance program should be established
to prolong the useful life of the hoist and maintain its
reliability and continued safe use. The program should
include frequent and periodic inspections (see page 5) with
particular attention paid to lubrication of various components
using the recommended lubricants (see Lubrication section
for lubricating load chain and other parts).
RECOMMENDED SPARE PARTS
To insure continued operation, it is recommended that two
friction discs (Key No. 673-13) be kept on hand at all times
to replace friction discs that are worn, glazed or
contaminated. Refer to page 12 for ordering information).
DISASSEMBLY
When disassembling and assembling the RS2 Lever Hoist,

WARNING
CUTTING CHAIN CAN PRODUCE FLYING
PARTICLES.
TO AVOID INJURY:
• WEAR EYE PROTECTION.
• PROVIDE A SHIELD, SUCH AS A HEAVY RAG,
OVER THE CHAIN TO PREVENT FLYING PARTICLES.
TESTING
Prior to initial use, all altered or repaired hoists or hoists that
have not been operated for the previous 12 months must be
tested by the user for proper operation.
Test the unit first in the unloaded state and then with a light
load of 50 pounds (23kg.) times the number of load
supporting strands of load chain to be sure it operates
properly and the brake holds the load when the lever is
released; then test with a load of *125% of rated capacity.
In addition, hoists in which load sustaining parts have been
replaced shall be tested with *125% of rated capacity by or
under the direction of an appointed person and a written
report prepared for record purposes.
CUTTING CHAINS
Hoistaloy®load chain is hardened for wear resistance and is
difficult to cut. However, the following methods are
recommended when cutting a length of new chain from
stock or cutting off a length of worn chain.
(1) Use a grinder and nick the link on both sides, then
secure the link in a vise and break off with a hammer.
(2) Use a 7 inch(177.8mm) minimum diameter by 1/8 inch
(3.175mm) thick abrasive wheel (of type recommended
by wheel supplier) that will clear adjacent links.
Cutting Chain by Nicking
(3) Chain may also be cut using a bolt cutter with special
jaws for cutting hardened chain (1 inch (25.4mm) long
cutting edge).
*If unit is equipped with a Load Limiter, it may refuse to lift
the 125% overload. Should this occur, reduce the test load
to rated capacity. Also, on such units, the function of the
Load Limiter should be checked. To do this attach the lower
hook to a load of 180% of rated capacity and operate the
unit in the “up” direction. When attempting to lift this load,
the lever should slip. If it does not, the Load Limiter must be
replaced. After this test, operate the unit in the “down”
direction to remove tension in the chain.
NOTE: For additional information on inspection and
testing, refer to the current issue of ASME B30.21
“Manually Lever Operated Hoists” obtainable from
ASME Order Department, 22 Law Drive, Box 2300,
