2. Turn free chain knob counterclockwise.
3. Grasp and pull one side of load chain or turn free knob until
desired hook location is achieved.
4. Connect hook to load. Pull anchor side of load chain or turn
free knob until chain slack is removed.
WARNING
• Do not support or hang loads from load chain anchor end.
Brake may not hold load or operate correctly.
Lifting Load (UP Position - Haul-In)
Refer to Dwg. MHP0825 on page 5.
The following procedure assumes hoist is in NEUTRAL (center)
position and hook is attached to a load, but hoist is not supporting
the load.
1. Place selector lever in UP position.
2. Rotate free knob clockwise.
3. Pull anchor end of load chain until slack is removed.
4. Rotate (ratchet) hand lever in clockwise direction to raise
(haul-in) load.
NOTICE
• Ratchet may not engage and raise (haul-in) load until all
chain slack is removed and hoist is supporting load weight. If
hand lever movement does not produce lifting, apply tension
to anchor side of load chain while ratcheting until slack is
removed and hoist begins lifting load. If hoist does not operate
properly under load, remove load, inspect and repair hoist.
Lowering Load (DOWN Position - Payout)
Refer to Dwg. MHP0825 on page 5.
WARNING
• Do not continue lowering load after chain stopper has
contacted hoist body as damage may occur to hoist resulting in
a falling load which can cause severe injury, death or property
damage.
The following procedure assumes hoist selector lever is in UP
position, hoist is holding a load and the operator wants to lower
(payout) the load:
1. Place selector lever in DOWN position.
2. Rotate (ratchet) hand lever in counterclockwise direction to
lower (payout) load.
