MAINTENANCE
Before and after using this tool, check the cable. Occasionally oil the cable sheaves and caster
bearings. Crank up the telescoping sections for access to the internal cable pulley. If the telescoping
sections of the frame don't operate smoothly, apply household paraffin to the sliding surfaces for
smoother action.
Some chemicals can damage the product. Do not use harsh chemicals such as gasoline, carbon
tetrachloride, paint thinner, etc. to clean this product.
A qualified repair technician must perform any service or repair. Service or maintenance performed
by unqualified personnel could result in injury. Use only identical replacement parts. Use of unauthorized
parts or failure to follow maintenance instructions may create a risk of injury.
Inspect the cable along the full length for kinks, frays or damage. A worn, damaged or improperly installed
cable can fail resulting in a sudden and rapid lowering of the hoist and the load and possibly resulting in
serious property damage, serious bodily injury and/or death.
Store under cover.
