NOTICE
Ingersoll-Rand recognizes that most companies who use hoists have a
safety program in force in their plants. In the event you are aware that
some conflict exists between a rule set forth in this publication and a
similar rule already set by an individual company, the more stringent of
the two should take precedence.
Safe Operating Instructions are provided to make an operator aware of
unsafe practices to avoid and are not necessarily limited to the
following list. Refer to specific sections in the manual for additional

safety information.

1. Only allow people, trained in safety and operation of this product,
to operate the hoist.
2. Only operate a hoist if you are physically fit to do so.
3. When a "DO NOT OPERATE" sign is placed on the hoist or
controls, do not operate the hoist until the sign has been removed
by designated personnel.
4. Before each shift, the operator should inspect the hoist for wear or
damage.
5. Never use a hoist which inspection indicates is worn or damaged.
6. Periodically, inspect the hoist thoroughly and replace worn or
damaged parts.
7. Lubricate the hoist regularly.
8. Do not use hoist if hook latch has been sprung or broken.
9. Check that the hook latches are engaged before using.
10. Never splice a hoist chain by inserting a bolt between links.
11. Only lift loads less than or equal to the rated capacity of the hoist.
See "SPECIFICATIONS" section.
12. When using two hoists to suspend one load, select two hoists each
having a rated capacity equal to or more than the load. This
provides adequate safety in the event of a sudden load shift.
13. Never place your hand inside the throat area of a hook.
