Vestil CH series - Manual (Page 7)

Use Instructions:
The operating instructions in this manual are meant to supplement the operating
recommendations of the ASME standard B30.20.
Only trained, designated persons should use the coil hook. “Designated person” means someone
selected by his or her employer, or by a representative of the employer, as competent to use the coil
hook. Trainees under the direct supervision of a designated person may use the device. Maintenance
and personnel who perform tests also may use the coil hook when necessary for the performance of their
employment duties.
Step 1: Perform a proper pre-use inspection, (see p. ), BEFORE you connect the hook to a hoisting
device. If the hook passes the inspection and is safe to use, proceed to the next step.
Step 2: Secure the bracket weldment so that the load retaining surface is perpendicular to the hook jaw
as shown. Tighten the fasteners (bolt, lock nut), so that the bracket weldment cannot loosen during use.

Step 3: Connect the coil hook to the hoisting device. The coil hook must only be connected to the hoist
via a safety hook to prevent accidental detachment from the hoist.
