When replacing the lifting chain with a hand-operated hoist, several precautions should be taken to ensure safety and efficiency. Here are some key steps and considerations:

Safety Precautions

Read Instructions and Safety Labels:

Carefully read all instructions and safety precautions provided with the hand-operated hoist.

Follow all cautions and warnings marked on the equipment.

Voltage and Frequency Matching:

Ensure that the voltage and frequency of your power source (if applicable) match the voltage and frequency inscribed on the hoist's electrical rating label.

Clear the Workspace:

Remove any obstacles or hazards from the workspace.

Ensure that the area around the hoist is clear and free of debris.

Secure the Hoist:

Properly secure the hoist to prevent it from moving or tipping over during operation.

Operational Precautions

Handling the Hoist:

Do not push objects of any kind through openings in the hoist. Dangerous voltages may be present, and conductive foreign objects could cause a short circuit.

Avoid blocking or covering the openings of the hoist.

Chain Management:

Before lifting, move the hoist block to neutral to freely pull the lifting chain.

Pull the chain at the connection between the hoist and the lifting target to a semi-tensioned state.

Ensure that the chain is perpendicular to the lifting target.

Stable Operation:

In the initial stage of pulling the handle, hold it with one hand and the neck of the hoist with the other to maintain stability.

After the lifting target is lifted off the ground, use both hands to press the handle for more efficient and labor-saving lifting.

Inspection and Maintenance

Pre-Operation Inspection:

Conduct a thorough inspection of the hoist and lifting chain before use.

Check for any signs of wear, damage, or deformation.

Regular Maintenance:

Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for regular maintenance and inspections.

Replace worn or damaged parts as needed.

Compliance with Standards:

Ensure that the hoist complies with relevant safety standards and regulations.

If in doubt, consult a qualified professional or the manufacturer for guidance.
