Operation The JLP Lever Hoist may be used either in vertical position as a hoist; or in angled or horizontal position as a puller. Below is the general procedure for operating the hoist: 1. Set the top hook securely. 2. Correctly center the load on the bottom hook (Figure 4). Incorrect loading is dangerous to the operator, the lever hoist, and the load. • Never load the hook in front of the safety latch (A, Figure 5). • Never load the hook tip (B, Figure 5). • Never load the hook off the centerline (C, Figure 5). • Never load the hook sideways (D, Figure 5). 3. Place the selector switch on the handle in the center neutral position, (Figure 6). This will allow free-wheel mode. (NOTE: Chain will only free-wheel when there is no load.) Take up slack by pulling on loose or free end or by turning handwheel. 4. Move selector switch to the UP position. Ratchet the lever to raise or pull the load. Do not overload the lever hoist. 5. To release or lower the load, turn selector switch on the handle to the DOWN position and ratchet the handle. Avoid lifting one load with two hoists. If this is unavoidable, apply equal weight to both hoists and use hoists with the proper lift capacity. Capacity of each hoist must be equal to the total load to be lifted.
