Warning
1. Read and understand the entire owner’s manual before attempting assembly or operation.
2. Read and understand the warnings posted on the machine and in this manual. Failure to comply with all of
these warnings may cause serious injury.
3. Replace the warning labels if they become obscured or removed.
4. This chain hoist is designed and intended for use by properly trained and experienced personnel only. If
you are not familiar with the proper and safe operation of a chain hoist, do not use until proper training and
knowledge have been obtained.
5. Do not use this chain hoist for other than its intended use. If used for other purposes, JET disclaims any
real or implied warranty and holds itself harmless from any injury that may result from that use.
6. Do not install this chain hoist where explosive hazards may exist.
7. Give your work undivided attention. Looking around, carrying on a conversation and “horse-play” are
careless acts that can result in serious injury.
8. Do not use to lift people, or loads over people. Warn others in the vicinity when lifting or transporting a
load. Avoid swinging load and hook.
9. Do not exceed the rated capacity of the chain hoist.
10. Make sure limit switches are operating properly. Do not use limit switches as routine operating stops; they
are emergency devices only.
11. Do not use the load chain as a sling; this may cause damage to the chain.
12. Maintain firm footing when operating the hoist.
13. Always inspect the chain hoist for damage prior to use. Do not use a chain hoist with twisted, kinked, worn
or otherwise damaged chain. If the chain hoist is damaged, do not use until it has been repaired or
replaced.
14. Do not use more than one chain hoist to lift or move a load. If this is unavoidable, each chain hoist must
have the same capacity as the load to be moved.
15. Never allow the load chain to “set” over sharp edges. All lifts must be made with straight chain that is free
of obstacles.
16. Do not use a chain hoist unless load is centered between top and bottom hooks.
17. Protect load chain from weld splatter and other contaminants. Do not allow the hook or chain to be
contacted by a live welding electrode.
18. Always take time to study the job to be performed and choose the safest method. Do not place yourself or
other people in an unsafe position.
19. Leave all internal maintenance to a qualified JET service center.
20. Replace the chain with factory replacement chain only. Do not use any other type of chain.
21. Never use the chain hoist if either hook is stretched, deformed, or has a broken or missing safety latch.
Always replace the safety latch and/or the hook before placing the chain hoist back into service.
22. Do not operate this hoist while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or any medication.
23. Understand and follow all procedures as set forth in American National Standards titled “Performance
Standard for Electric Chain Hoists.” ANSI/ASME HST-1. This standard is available through the American
Society of Mechanical Engineers, www.asme.org.
24. Do not use in wet, damp or poorly lit locations. This trolley is not rated for outdoor use.
