Installation

WARNING TAG

Each hoist is supplied from the factory with the safety tag shown. If the tag is not attached to your unit, order a new tag and install it. Refer to the parts list for the part number. Read and obey all warnings and other safety information attached to this hoist. Tag may be shown smaller than actual size.

Prior to installing the hoist, carefully inspect it for possible shipping damage.

Hoists are supplied fully lubricated from the factory. Lubrication of the load chain is recommended before initial hoist operation.

CAUTION

•Owners and users are advised to examine specific, local or other regulations, including American National Standards Institute and/or OSHA Regulations which may apply to a particular type of use of this product before installing or putting hoist to use.

WARNING

•A falling load can cause injury or death. Before installing, read “SAFETY INFORMATION”.

•Depending on the model selected, the hoist may weigh more than 90 lbs. (41 kg). If parts of the hoist are dropped, they can cause injury, death or property damage. Adequately support the hoist during installation.

Hoists are designed to provide a 4 to 1 safety factor. The supporting structures and load-attaching devices used in conjunction with this hoist must provide adequate support to handle all hoist operations plus the weight of the hoist and attached equipment. This is the customer’s responsibility. If in doubt, consult a registered structural engineer.

The MCH5 manual chain hoist must be used in a vertical position to provide a straight line pull from top hook to bottom hook. The hoist must be positioned so that it does not contact the support members when in use. When operating in limited areas suitable lifting attachments or slings must be used to prevent the hoist body and hand chain from being obstructed.
