PRODUCT INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing an Overhead Coil Hook (“coil hook” or simply “the hook”) made by Vestil Manufacturing Corporation (“Vestil” or “Manufacturer”). Each coil hook is a durable, highquality product that combines safety features and superior lifting capabilities. Despite ease of use, all personnel must familiarize themselves with the safe operation instructions provided in this manual. We produce 3 types of coil hook, the CH-10-6, CH-10-12, and CH-20-8.
SAFETY GUIDELINES Read the entire manual before attaching the coil hook to a lifting device or using it for the first time. Refer to the manual for safe use and maintenance procedures (p. 12-13). If questions remain after you finish reading the manual, contact Vestil for answers. DO NOT attempt to resolve any problems with the coil hook unless you are certain that it will be safe to use afterwards, but you must NEVER modify the product in any way without the express written approval of Vestil.

Use Instructions: The operating instructions in this manual are meant to supplement the operating recommendations of the ASME standard B30.20. Only trained, designated persons should use the coil hook. “Designated person” means someone selected by his or her employer, or by a representative of the employer, as competent to use the coil hook. Trainees under the direct supervision of a designated person may use the device.
Step 4: Move the coil hook into position above the load. Lower the hook and adjust the location so that the bracket weldment passes through the center of the coil/load. DO NOT push or pull the coil hook so that the hoist chain/rope is not (deflects from) vertical. All horizontal adjustments to the position of the coil must be accomplished by moving the trolley. This is important because any deflection of the chain/rope (from straight up-and-down) will cause the load to swing when lifted.
3 4 Step 7: Move the load to the desired location. Refer to the “Warning” messages and the included lifting rules on p. 8. Grasp the handle and accompany/move the load. Position the load above the intended location (the photographs show the hook and load positioned above an elevated work surface, which is identified by an asterisk *).
Lower the load to the ground/supporting surface (photos 10 and 11). Make sure that the hook is motionless before beginning to lower it. Slowly lower the load until it contacts the ground/surface. DO NOT remove the load from the hook until you immobilize the load (e.g. with chocks), so that it cannot roll or fall over. Disengage the hook from the load.
Maintenance and Inspections: A designated person must verify that the device complies with all regulations, codes, and standards that apply to “Under-the-Hook Lifting Devices” in the location where the coil hook is used. The person designated to conduct inspections must do so before the coil hook is used for the first time, and EACH time the hook is installed for use. Inspections: The end-user is responsible for performing inspections as recommended in ASME B30.
normal operating condition, such as tightening loose fasteners, or removing debris from the surface of the hook. A modification is a change that alters the hook from normal operating condition, like bending the structural members. NEVER modify the coil hook without the express, written approval of Vestil. Modifications may render the coil hook unsafe to use.
