When operating your CM hoist, there are certain steps you and your team must take to ensure safety. Taking proper precautions will reduce injuries for your team and prevent damage to your hoist parts. When operating your crane with CM hoist parts, be sure to be mindful of the following: 

1. Lifting- When using the hoist, ensure everyone is clear of the load before lifting. You should never use your hoist to lift another person. Your hoist and parts will have operational warning notices on them. Make sure these notices are not removed or blocked.

3. Inspection- The operator should visually inspect the hoist and its parts before and after each use. When performing an inspection, take note of the following:
   1. Ensure the hook travel corresponds to the control direction.
   2. Operational signs should be clear and legible.
   3. Never operate a malfunctioning hoist.
   4. Properly lubricate the load chain with the right lube.
   5. Never use hooks that are worn, bent, or enlarged.
   6. Any deficiencies should be noted and repaired immediately.
