6.0 Operation Do not attempt free-wheel while hoist is under load. Use of the web strap hoist around energized lines may result in serious or fatal injury. It is the operator’s responsibility to understand and comply with OSHA regulations and/or company work practices when operating hoist around electrical lines. If lever is set to UP position, handle will rotate during free-wheel and may cause injury. Set lever to N (Neutral) position before free-wheeling.

Never heat-treat the hook or attach anything to the hook by welding. NOTE: Excessive hook throat opening or twist indicates abuse or overloading of the hoist. If such deformation is discovered, inspect the hoist and all supporting members very carefully for additional indications of excessive hoist loading.
