GENERAL INFORMATION
This manual provides information for the safe operation and
maintenance of Little Mule Hand Chain Hoists. All persons
operating or maintaining the hoist should be familiar with the
information contained herein. Adherence to the precautions,
procedures, and maintenance practices described should
ensure long, reliable operation.
All persons responsible for the installation, operation, or
maintenance of hoisting equipment should read American
National Standard ANSI B30.16 for guidelines toward the safe
operation of hoists.This standard contains rules pertaining to
inspection requirements and records that may be required by
some regulatory agencies.
HOIST CONSTRUCTION
This hand chain hoist provides an efficient means for lifting of
freely suspended material loads within its load rating.The
frame and covers of the hoist are of stamped steel
construction.
The cast hand chain wheel and load activated brake provide
smooth, precise spotting of loads.
INSPECTION PRIOR TO INITIAL USE
When unpacking the hoist, inspect carefully for any damage
that may have occurred during shipping. Check for loose,
missing, or damaged parts.
INSTALLATION
Be sure that the structures supporting the hoist are strong
enough to support the full rated load of the hoist with a
generous factor of safety.The hoist should be suspended
directly over the load, so that the load can be lifted without side
pull.The hoist body must be free to align itself between the two
hooks. Do not restrain the hoist frame in any way, or allow it to
rest directly against any part of the supporting structure.
TESTING
Apply a light load to the hoist and check for smooth operation
and proper brake function. If the hoist works properly with a
light load, connect the rated load to the hoist and raise the load
just clear of the floor. Check that the brake holds the load
before lifting any higher. No drifting of the hook should occur
under any size load within the hoist’s load rating.
