6. OPERATION
After pre-usage preparation and checks are completed, the hoist will be ready for normal operation.
6.1 Intended purpose of hoist operation
The hoist is designed for vertically lifting, lowering and horizontally carrying loads by means of switching the
pendant push button under normal atmospheric conditions of the workplace.
Since dealing with heavy loads may involve unexpected danger, all the "Safety instructions" (Refer to 3.2.) must
be followed.
6.2 Safe working environment
The operator must be aware of the following points while using the hoist.
(1) The operator must have a clear and unobstructed view of the entire travel area before operating the hoist. When
not possible, a second or more persons must serve as scouts in the nearby area.
(2) The operator must check the entire work place is safe and secure before operating the hoist.
(3) The operator must make sure to prevent his hands or other parts of his body from being caught in the moving
hoist.
