Operating Instructions
• Do not use the lever hoist outside the ambient temperature range of
-10°C to +50°C
• Ensure the lever hoist is suspended from a structure capable of
supporting a load of at least 1½ x the safe working load of the hoist, and
that the Mounting Hook (1) is fully engaged with the safety bar closed
Free chaining
In this mode you can pull the chain through the hoist in either direction by
hand. Useful for quick attachment of the load
• With no load on the hoist, set the Direction Control (4) to NEUTRAL
• Rotate the Brake Wheel (3) anti-clockwise to disengage the brake
• The chain can be pulled freely through the hoist in either direction
Attach the load
• Centre the load on the Load Hook (6) correctly, at the centre of its gravity
- Never load the hook in front of the safety latch (A)
- Never load the hook tip (B)
- Never load the hook off the centre line (C)
- Never load the hook sideways (D)
• Ensure hook Safety Bar (7) is closed
To lift the load
• With the load attached correctly, rotate the brake wheel clockwise to
engage the brake
• Set the Direction Control (4) to UP
• Ratchet or rotate the Hand Lever (5) clockwise using a steady, even
motion
• The chain will lift the load
To lower the load
