Working Method
MOUNTING
• The hoist is designed to be hung or mounted on a firm or stable bar or bracket. Which ensures the hoist
doesn’t move from side to side, or swing in a 360°.
• When hung, do not allow the body or load to be caught by any obstruction.
CONTINUOUS RATING
Never use the hoist beyond the allowable time permitted per hour.
The life of the hoist depends on the conditions of the load and working frequency. During long operating
periods make sure to use the hoist within its continuous rating.
Continuous Rating means the amount of allowable usage within one hour, which is 25% or 15 minutes per
hour or 300 starts per hour. The maximum number of starts means the number of times the motor starts
within the hour.
PREPARATION BEFORE WORKING
• Check all safety and environmental conditions
• Ensure there are a minimum of five(5) wraps of wire wound around the drum
• Check the wire rope and discard if there are any signs of excessive wear, too many broken wires,
corrosion, or other defects.
• One wire rope consists of 7 strands. One strand has 19 wires. So one of the 7 strands must not have
more than 3 of the wires damaged.
• Connect the main power source and ensure grounding.
• Do not lift loads exceeding the rated load.
• Always use power source at the rated voltage.
Be sure to lock the hanger for extra safety, never hang from the hook only.
This hook is not designed to take a load.
