OPERATION (continued)

Using the Hoist

Refer to FIGURE

WARNING! As illustrated in FIGURE 2, the Cable (#56) must flow through the

cable Guard (#29), and the Stopper (#31) must be securely attached to the end of the Cable (#56).

1.Plug in the unit and press the Switch (#43) toward the “down” position to lower the Hook (#34) to the load.

2.When connecting the Hook (#34) to the load, you must be sure that the connection point on the load is capable of holding the weight of the entire load. If you are not sure, use a separate cable (not included) that is rated above maximum lift load capacity, to surround the unit and tie it off securely. Then, attach the load is completely inside of the hook and safety tab on the Hook (#34) and the load is centered under the hoist. The safety tab on the hook must latch or close over the connection point or cable or the load may fall causing serious damage and injury.

3.Make sure no people or animals are near the immediate area. Never support a load over people or animals.

4.Standing clear, push the Switch (#43) toward the “lift” position. Slowly raise the load only enough to clear the floor or support and check to be sure the load is securely fastened. Proceed only after you are ensured the load is secure and free of all obstructions. If the Hoist refuses to lift the load you might have exceeded maximum lift capacity. If you are under the maximum capacity and the Hoist stops on its own, release the lift switch and stay clear while the motor has sufficient time to cool down. Then, resume the process.

5.When you are ready to lower the load, press the Switch (#43) toward the “down” position.

6.When the load is completely on the ground, keeping clear of it, shake or move the load to make sure it is sitting firmly on the ground. Then, remove the Hook (#34) from the load.

7.Push the Switch (#43) toward the “lift” position and bring the Stopper (#31) up to within a few inches of the Guard (#29).

8.When finished, unplug the unit.

INSPECTION, MAINTENANCE, AND CLEANING

WARNING! Before each use, inspect the general condition of the hoist.

Check for loose screws, misalignment or binding of moving parts, cracked or broken parts, damaged electrical wiring, and any other condition that may affect its safe operation. If abnormal noise or vibration occurs, have the problem corrected before Further use. Do not use damaged equipment.

1.Wipe the Hoist down with a lint free cloth.

2.Check the cable for tears, excessive wearing, damage or frays. If you find any, Do not use the Hoist until the cable is replaced by a qualified technician. Only use genuine replacement cable (Cable (#56)). Do not substitute rope or any other type of cable.

3.Periodically lubricate the cable with a light oil.
