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.
INSTALLATION
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.
