bulletThe National Safety Council, Accident Prevention Manual for Industrial Operations, Eighth Edition and other recognized safety sources make a common point: "All employees working with cranes or hoists or assisting in hooking or arranging a load should be instructed to keep out from under load. From a safety standpoint, one factor is paramount: conduct all lifting operations in such a manner that if there were an equipment failure, no personnel would be injured. This means keep out from under raised load and keep out of the line of force of any load. Do not use for raising or lowering people."
bulletEQUIPMENT DESCRIBED IS NOT DESIGNED OR SUITABLE FOR LIFTING OR LOWERING PERSONS.
bulletThe use of the hand winches by power is the sole responsibility of the user of owner and voids warranty. Power conversion pinions can be furnished as a convenience to customers but are only intended for the purpose of winding rope without any load on the hoist.
bulletNever overload any winching or hoisting equipment.
bulletMake sure winch or hoist is suitably attached to a structure of sufficient strength before using.
bulletDo not shock load any winching or hoisting equipment.

DO NOT EXCEED WORK LOAD LIMIT OR 20% OF THE PRODUCT'S BREAK STRENGTH.
