HIGH PERFORMANCE RESCUE HOIST ASSEMBLY
SAFETY, CARE, AND HANDLING
Personnel should adhere to following safety precautions during operation and/or maintenance procedures:
1. Do not service or adjust alone.
Personnel shall not, under any circumstances, perform potentially dangerous maintenance tasks, or
procedures, except in the presence of a person who is capable of rendering aid.
2. Keep away from live circuits.
Operating personnel must at all times observe all safety regulations. Do not replace components or make
adjustments inside equipment with high voltage supply turned ON. Under certain conditions, due to charges
retained by capacitors, dangerous potentials may exist when power control is in the OFF position. To avoid
personal injury, always remove electrical power and discharge and ground a circuit before commencing work
on that circuit.
3. Foreign Object Debris (FOD).
Remove rings, watches, and other metallic objects which may cause shock or burn hazards. Remove rings
during all maintenance activities.
4. Observe all general precautions and safety regulations when handling rescue hoist.
