After mounting and before placing in service, check the hoist
for proper operation. To operate the hoist, pull on the hand
chain as indicated below.
Figure 2 - Main Parts of Hurricane 360 Hoist
Operate the hoist with no load and then a light load of approx-
imately 50 pounds to make sure it operates properly and the
brake holds the load when the hand chain is released, then
operate with a rated load as shown on the nameplate.
GENERAL
1. The hoist must always be rigged to lift in a straight
line from hook to hook. The hoist must always be free
to swivel on the upper hook. Under no condition should
the hoist frame be allowed to bear on any support when
in use, as this would cause bending of the hook or frame
and damage the unit.
2. When preparing to lift or move a load, be sure that
the attachments to both hooks are firmly seated
in the saddles of the hooks. Avoid off center loading
of any kind especially loading on the tip of the hook.
Also, observe that the chain hangs straight (without twist)
from hoist to lower hook.
3. When lifting, raise the load only enough to clear the floor
or support, and check to be sure brake will hold load
and that attachments to the load are firmly seated.
Continue the lift only after you are assured the load
is free of all obstructions.
4. Do not load beyond the rated capacity of the hoist.
Rated capacity can be achieved with the following
hand chain pulls:
Since these hand chain pulls can easily be applied by one person,
under no circumstances should more than one person operate
the hoist hand chain.
This hoist is equipped with a load limiting device. The presence
of this device does not authorize the application of overloads.
Always select a hoist whose load rating is in excess of the load
to be handled. If the handwheel slips while operating, reduce
load or use correct capacity hoist.
NOTE:
The load limiting device incorporated in this hoist is effective
only when the overload is being lifted or pulled through
the operation of the handwheel. It will not protect against
externally applied overloads.
5. Do not wrap load chain around the load 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
mean twisted chain and a jammed liftwheel. The chain
could be damaged at the hook.
6. Stand clear of all loads and avoid moving a load over
the heads of other personnel. Warn personnel of your
intention to move a load in their area.
7. Do not leave the load in the air unattended.
8. Do not lower the hook to a point where the chain
becomes taut between the liftwheel and loose end
connector.
9. Do not run the lower hook block into the hoist frame.
Frame and/or chain guide damage may result.
10. The hoist has been designed for manual operation only.
11. Do not use this or any other overhead materials handling
equipment for lifting persons.
12. Do not allow the load to bear against the hook latch.
The latch is to help maintain the hook in position while
the chain is slack before taking up slack chain.
If not used as directed, hoist may cause injury.
