1-1. Safety Summary
Danger exists when heavy loads are transported, particularly when the equipment is
not being used properly or is poorly maintained. Because accidents and serious
injury could result, special safety precautions apply to the operation, maintenance
and inspection of the Electric Chain Hoist.
Following these simple rules can help to avoid hoisting accidents;
: IMPROPER electric chain hoist use could result in
death or serious injury. To avoid these hazards:
NEVER use a hoist for lifting, supporting or transporting people.
NEVER lift or transport loads over or near people.
NEVER work near or under hoisted loads.
NEVER lift more than rated load.
ALWAYS let people around you know when a lift is about to begin.
ALWAYS make sure that the supporting structures and load-attaching device are
strong enough to hold the weight of the load and hoist.
ALWAYS read the Owner’s (Operator’s) Manual and safety instructions.
Remember, proper rigging and lifting techniques are the responsibility of the operator. Be
sure you read and understand the instructions contained in this manual before using your
hoist. Check all applicable safety codes, regulations and other applicable laws for further
information about the safe use of your hoist.
