2. Safety Information

WARNING: Read and understand all instructions before operating this hoist. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious injury or property damage.

Do not exceed rated capacity: The maximum lifting capacity is 1100 lbs (0.5 ton). Overloading can cause hoist failure.
Inspect before each use: Check the hoist, chain, and hooks for any signs of wear, damage, or deformation. Do not use if damaged.
Secure attachment points: Ensure both the suspension hook and the load hook are securely attached to appropriate, rated anchor points.
Maintain clear work area: Keep personnel clear of the load and hoist during operation.
Avoid shock loading: Lift and lower loads smoothly. Do not drop or jerk the load.
Proper storage: Store the hoist in a clean, dry place when not in use.

7. Operating Instructions

The hoist features a 3-speed dial for controlling chain movement:

YATOINTO HSH Lever Hoist Operation Dial — Figure 6: Diagram illustrating the 3-speed dial settings for UP (upward), N (neutral for free chain movement), and DN (downward).

Lifting a Load (UP):
Set the 3-speed dial to the "UP" position. Operate the lever handle in a pumping motion to raise the load. Ensure smooth and controlled movements.
Lowering a Load (DN):
Set the 3-speed dial to the "DN" position. Operate the lever handle in a controlled manner to slowly lower the load. Avoid rapid lowering.
Free Chain Movement (N Gear):
Set the 3-speed dial to the "N" (Neutral) position. In this mode, the chain can be pulled by hand to quickly adjust its length when no load is applied. Do not use this mode with a load attached.

The handle can rotate 360 degrees for ease of use in various orientations.

8. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your hoist.

Lubrication: Periodically lubricate the chain and internal mechanisms according to manufacturer recommendations (not explicitly provided, so general advice).
Cleaning: Keep the hoist clean and free from dirt, debris, and corrosive substances.
Inspection: Conduct thorough inspections before and after each use. Pay close attention to the chain links, hooks, safety latches, and the lever mechanism for any signs of wear, cracks, bends, or corrosion.
Chain Condition: The G80 galvanized chain is designed for durability and resistance to wear and corrosion. However, inspect for any stretched links, nicks, or rust. Replace the chain if any damage is found.

9. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your hoist, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

Chain not moving smoothly:
Possible Cause: Chain is twisted, kinked, or dirty. Insufficient lubrication.
Solution: Ensure the chain is straight and free of obstructions. Clean the chain and apply appropriate lubricant.
Difficulty operating the lever:
Possible Cause: Hoist is overloaded. Internal mechanism is stiff or damaged.
Solution: Verify the load does not exceed the hoist's rated capacity. If not overloaded, inspect the internal mechanism for damage or seek professional service.
Load slipping or not holding:
Possible Cause: Brake system malfunction or wear. Incorrect dial setting.
Solution: Ensure the dial is correctly set to "UP" or "DN" when holding a load. If the issue persists, the brake system may require inspection and repair by a qualified technician.
Hooks not engaging properly:
Possible Cause: Safety latches are bent or damaged. Hook deformation.
Solution: Inspect safety latches and hooks. Replace any damaged components immediately.
