GENERAL SAFETY RULES

WARNING: Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in serious injury.
WARNING: The warnings, cautions, and instructions discussed in this instruction manual cannot cover all possible conditions or situations that could occur. It must be understood by the operator that common sense and caution are factors that cannot be built into this product, but must be supplied by the operator.
CAUTION: Do not allow persons to operate or assemble this jack until they have read this manual and have developed a thorough understanding of how the jack works.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES
IMPORTANT SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS

INSPECTION

1. Judge the weight of the load to be lifted and make sure the weight does not over rate de capacity of the chain block. Never overload the block in any circumstance.

2. Careful inspection should be made to the parts, such as hooks, load chain and braking device. The chain block can only be used if it’s found to be in perfect conditions.

3. Before lifting, inspect the hooks to make sure they are securely attached. For a better performance of the block, the load chain should be kept vertically straight without any twist to prevent it from tangling.

4. During operation, the operator should stand in the plane of the hand wheel (9). To lift the load, pull the hand chain (15) to rotate the hand wheel in clockwise direction. When pulling the hand chain in the reverse direction, the hand wheel will be separated from the brake seat (10), the ratchet disc (14) checked by pawl (17) will be released, and the load will be lowered down smoothly.
   DO NOT PULL THE HAND CHAIN IN A POSITION OBLIQUE TO THE PLANE OF THE HAND WHEEL TO PREVENT TANGLING OF THE HAND CHAIN AND TURING OF THE BLOCK.

5. For the sake of safety passing or working under a lifting load is strictly forbidden.

6. While lifting or lowering a load, the hand chain should be pulled steadily so as to prevent it from breaking or tangling.

7. Stop operation immediately in case that the hand chain cannot be pulled any further and proceed to inspect as following:
   a) Check for any tangles with the load.
   b) Check for any troubles with the parts of the block.
   c) Check that the load weight is not over the rated capacity of the block.

SAFETY MARKINGS

WARNING!

1. Clean off the dirt on the chain block after use and store it in a dry place to keep it from getting rusty and corrosiveness.
2. Clean the parts with kerosene and smear the gears and bearings with grease once a year by a skilled person.
3. Align the “0” marks of the two gears (8) while assembling.
4. The rollers (12) of the chain sprocket bearing may be stuck with grease to the journal of the chain sprocket (4) before fitting them into the outer race of the bearing (13) on the side plate.
5. While assembling the break mechanism, care should be taken to mesh the slanting teeth of the ratchet disc and the pawl. Make sure that the pawl is controlled by the spring sensitively and reliably. Then turn the hand wheel clock-wise after screwing it onto the driving shaft, and it must press the disc and the plates on the brake seat. Turning it counterclockwise, there should be clearances between the disc and the plates.
6. Transition fit is applied to the stay (3) and the right side plate (2). Don’t dismantle them, or they will get loose.
7. Never allow any layman to disassemble the blocks.
8. After cleaning and repairing the block should be subjected to no-load test and heavy load test. A chain block can be put into operation after it has been tested and found in good condition.
9. Keep clean the friction surfaces of the brake while lubricating or operating the block. Brake mechanism should be inspected regularly for prevention of faulty braking and falling of the load.

WARNING!

TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY: Operation of a vertical hoist involves more than pulling the hand chain of a hand chain operated hoist. The use of vertical hoists is subject to certain hazards that cannot be met by mechanical means, but only by the exercise of intelligence, care, common sense, and experience in anticipating the motions that will occur as a result of operating the controls.

Before Operating Hoist

1. Familiarize yourself with all operating controls of the hoist and with the operation(s) to be performed. Instructions include, the warnings on the hoist, and the safety and operating instructions portion of this manual.
2. WARNING! TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM HOIST FAILURE: Do not use damaged equipment. If adjustments or repairs are necessary, or any defects are known, have the problem corrected before further use.
3. Do not operate a hoist with an out-of-order sign.
4. Only a qualified technician should perform maintenance to the hoist.
5. Do not use the chain or rope as a ground for welding.
6. Do not touch a welding electrode to the chain or rope.
7. Only operate hand chain operated hoists with hand power, with no more than one operator per hand chain.
8. Designate a work area that is clean and well-lit. The work area must not allow access by children or pets to prevent distraction and injury.
9. There must not be objects, such as utility lines, nearby that will present a hazard while working.
10. Inspect the hoist as explained in Frequent Inspection on page 8 after installation but before use.

Operating Controls

Applying the Load

1. Do not wrap the hoist rope or chain around the load.
2. Attach the load to the load hook securely by properly rated, suitable means, such as chains, shackles, hooks, lifting slings, etc. Load must be attached to prevent accidental disconnection.
3. Properly seat the sling or other device in the base (bowl or saddle) of the hook (see the left side diagram on Figure D). Do not allow the hook hitch to support any part of the load.
4. Do not apply the load to the point of the hook (shown in Figure D on the right side diagram).
5. Before moving the load, make sure chains or wire rope are not kinked or twisted or that multiple part chains or ropes are not twisted around each other.
6. Do not operate the hoist unless rope or chain is seated properly on the drum, sheaves, or sprockets.
7. Do not operate the hoist unless the hoist unit is centered over the load.
8. Do not pick up a load in excess of the rated load appearing on the hoist or load block, except during properly authorized tests.
9. Do not use a hoist overload limiting device to measure the maximum load to be lifted.
10. Give specific attention to load balancing and hitching or slinging to prevent load slipping.

Figure D:— Correct and incorrect load hook attachment

Moving the Load

1. Do not engage in any activity which will divert the operator’s attention while operating the hoist.
2. Respond to signals from a designated person only. However, always obey a stop signal, no matter who gives it.
3. Do not lift or lower a load with the hoist until the operator and all other personnel are clear of the load.
4. Make sure the load and hoist will clear all obstacles before moving or rotating the load.
5. Do not lift a load more than a few inches until it is well balanced in the sling or lifting device.
6. Each time a load approaching rated capacity is handled, check hoist brake action by lifting the load just clear of supports and continuing only after verifying that the brake system is operating properly.
7. WARNING! Do not carry any load over any person.
8. WARNING! Do not carry personnel on the hook or the load.
9. Avoid swinging the load or load hook when traveling the hoist.
10. On trolley mounted hoists, avoid contact between trolleys and between trolleys and stops.
11. Do not use the upper (or lower, if provided) limit devices as a normal means of stopping the hoist. These are emergency devices only.

Locking (Parking) the Load

1. Do not leave a suspended load unattended unless specific precautions have been instituted and are in place.
2. Position the load block above head level for storage when the hoist is not in use.
3. Exercise care when removing a sling from under a landed and blocked load.

INSPECTION, TESTING, AND MAINTENANCE

Procedures not specifically explained in this manual must be performed only by a qualified technician.

Daily Inspection
Perform the procedures in this section BEFORE INITIAL USE and DAILY. Inspection is needed more often for heavily used hoists.

1. Check operating mechanisms for proper operation, proper adjustment, and unusual sounds.

2. Frequent Braking System Inspection The braking system must automatically stop and hold up to the rated load if the hand chain is released.

3. Frequent Hook Inspection
   a. distortion, such as bending, twisting, or increased throat opening
   b. wear
   c. cracks, nicks, or gouges
   d. latch engagement (if equipped)
   e. damaged or malfunctioning latch (if provided)
   f. hook attachment and securing means.

4. Frequent Hoist Load Chain Inspection:
   a. Test the hoist under load in lifting and lowering directions and observe the operation of the chain and sprockets. The chain should feed smoothly into and away from the sprockets.
   b. If the chain binds, jumps, or is noisy, first see that it is clean and properly lubricated. If the trouble persists, inspect the chain and mating parts for wear, distortion, or other damage.
   c. Examine visually for gouges, nicks, weld spatter, corrosion, and distorted links. Slacken the chain and move the adjacent links to one side to inspect for wear at the contact points. If wear is observed or if stretching is suspected, the chain should be measured as follows:
   I) Select an unworn, un-stretched length of the chain (e.g., at the slack end).
   II) Suspend the chain vertically under tension and, using a caliper-type gauge, carefully measure the outside length of any convenient number of links approximately 12″ to 24″ overall.
   III) Carefully measure the same number of links in the used sections and calculate the percentage increase in length.
   IV) If the used chain is 2.5% longer than the unused chain, replace the chain.

5. Check rope or load chain reeving.

WARNING! TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM HOIST FAILURE: Do not use damaged equipment. If any defect or damage is noted, repair the problem before further use.

3 Month Inspection
A qualified technician should perform the procedures in this section AT LEAST EVERY 3 Months. Inspection is needed more often for heavily used hoists. Remove or open access covers to allow inspection of components.

1. First, follow all Frequent Inspection procedures. Additionally:
2. Check fasteners for evidence of loosening.
3. Check load blocks, suspension housings, hand chain wheels, chain attachments, clevises, yokes, suspension bolts, shafts, gears, bearings, pins, rollers, and locking and clamping devices for evidence of wear, corrosion, cracks, and distortion.
4. Check hook retaining nuts or collars, and pins, welds, or rivets used to secure the retaining members for evidence of damage.
5. Check load sprockets, idler sprockets, drums, and sheaves for evidence of damage and wear.
6. Check the brake mechanism for evidence of worn, glazed, or oil contaminated friction disks; worn pawls, cams, or ratchets; and corroded, stretched, or broken pawl springs.
7. Check supporting structure or trolley, if used, for evidence of damage.
8. Check warning label for legibility and replacement.
9. Check end connections of wire ropes or load chains for evidence of wear, corrosion, cracks, damage, and distortion.
10. Check the hoist and hoist mounting or evidence of missing parts.

WARNING! TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM HOIST FAILURE: Do not use damaged equipment. If any defect or damage is noted, repair the problem before further use.
