damage the cable or web strap and may lead to future accidents.
3. Never load your LUG-ALL beyond rated capacity.
Cheating on capacities is a dangerous trick. Overloading a
LUG-ALL cancauseaccidental injury to the operator,the hoist, or
the load. It can also damage the hoist so that it may fail in the
future.
Therated capacity of your LUG-ALL is clearly marked on thecable
shield, and on the teeth side of the drum (It may be necessary to
rotatethe drum in ordertobringthe load capacity intoview).Ifthere
is any doubt about the weight of your load, use the next larger
