To avoid these hazards:
: NEVER perform maintenance on the hoist while it is supporting a load.
: Before performing maintenance, attach the tag:
[“DANGER”: DO NOT OPERATE EQUIPMENT BEING REPAIRED.]
: Only allow qualified service personnel to perform maintenance.
: ALWAYS lock-out power source before conducting maintenance.

Change gear oil at least once a year.
: To change oil, ALWAYS remove both the oil plug and drain plug to drain
determinated oil completely before supplying the specified gear oil.
: Use of oils other than the specified Kito’s exclusive gear oil might not allow
full exertion of the friction clutch, which can cause load to drop.

Always use the specified Kito’s exclusive gear oil.
