2. Do not wear loose clothing, jewelry, or hairstyles that could become entangled in the KENCO
Kenlift®or rigging hardware.
3. Keep hands, feet, and any other appendages clear of Kenlift® while in operation.
C. Operation Safety
1. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPERATE OR PERFORM MAINTENANCE ON THE
Kenlift® UNTIL READING AND FULLY UNDERSTANDING THIS MANUAL
2. MAINTAIN SAFE DISTANCE FROM LOAD - NEVER ALLOW KENLIFT® OR
LOAD TO PASS OVER ANY PART OF A PERSON.
3. DO NOT USE A KENCO Kenlift®THAT HAS BEEN ALTERED ACCIDENTALLY
OR INTENTIONALLY, IN ANY WAY WITHOUT INSPECTION BY QUALIFIED
PERSONNEL.
4. DO NOT USE A KENCO Kenlift®FOR ANY TASK OTHER THAN THE INTENDED
PURPOSE OF THE DESIGN.

Section III. Identification of Major Components
Section IV. Setup
A. Check Kenlift®for any signs of damage incurred during shipping.
B. Record model and serial #of assembly and components.
C. Check that all pad bolts are tight.
D. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN PAD ANGLE BOLTS. PAD ANGLE MUST HAVE
(LIMITED) ROTATIONAL FREEDOM AT THIS POINT.
E. Check that all identification and warning labels are present.
F. Attach Kenlift®to hoist.
1. Use as few rigging components (shackles, slings, chain, etc.) as possible.
2. ALL RIGGING COMPONENTS MUST HAVE A WORKING LOAD LIMIT THAT IS
EQUAL TO OR GREATER THAN THE COMBINED WEIGHT OF INTENDED
LOAD PLUS THE Kenlift®.

3. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD ANY COMPONENT USED AS RIGGING
TO Kenlift®BE OF A RATED CAPACITY LESS THAN THAT OF THE Kenlift®.
4. DO NOT RIG UNPROTECTED NYLON SLINGS OR WIRE ROPE DIRECTLY
THROUGH LIFT BAIL.
5. IF USING EQUIPMENT OTHER THAN A CRANE: USE RIGGING OF SUFFICIENT
LENGTH TO PREVENT CONTACT BETWEEN Kenlift®AND EQUIPMENT.

KENCO Kenlift®Operation Manual
Section V. Operation
A. Operation
1. Ensure that the Kenlift®’s capacity and range are appropriate to the median barrier wall to be
handled.
2. Ensure pads are clean and free of debris or contamination.
3. Position Kenlift®at or near center of object to be lifted.
4. Lower Kenlift®onto object, taking care to minimize impact.
5. Ensure that all persons are clear of Kenlift®and wall.
6. Release tension on lift cable.
7. Raise Kenlift®and load in a smooth motion, do not “jerk”.
8. Deposit at desired location.
9. Release tension on lift cable. (Note: avoid undue slamming of the Kenlift®into open position
to prolong actuator life.)
10. Remove Kenlift®(Kenlift®is latched in open position automatically)
Manipulation of the Kenlift®by ground personnel for the
purpose of alignment with load shall only be done with
Kenlift suspended above the wall. KEEP ALL HANDS
AWAY FROM Kenlift DURING OPERATION.
DANGER
!
Pads and surfaces of the load that come into contact with the
pad surfaces MUST BE CLEAN and free of any foreign
material or coating that could compromise the grip.
DANGER
!
Before attempting to use the Kenlift®device ALWAYS
perform a test lift on the intended object(s) to confirm proper
operation. DO NOT use a Kenlift®to handle objects beyond
the rated capacity or range.
DANGER

B. AVOID JARRING, WEINGING, AND OTHERWISE UNNECESSARY
MANIPULATION OF THE LOAD.
C. AVOID HANDLING OF LOADS OFF CENTER.
D. DO NOT USE THE Kenlift®TO PICK MULTIPLES OF ITEMS IN A SINGLE PICK.
E. OBSERVE ALL SAFETY PRACTICES ASSOCIATED WITH OPERATION OF HOIST
MACHINERY.
F. DO NOT USE Kenlift®TO DRAG LOADS.
G. DO NOT ALLOW LOAD (BARRIER SECTION) TO CONTACT ANY
SURFACE/OBJECT WHILE BEING HANDLED.
The Kenlift®barrier handling device produces grip
proportional to and dependent on the weight of the
barrier wall. It is for this reason that while in
operation the Kenlift and wall NEVER be allowed to
contact other items.
DANGER
!
Tip: The majority of wear on the Kenlift®, pads, and associated components
results from shock loading, impacting, and poor alignment of the Kenlift®with
the load. Minimizing these incidents will greatly extend the life of the Kenlift ®
and consumables.

KENCO Kenlift®Operation Manual
Section VI. Maintenance
A. Daily:
1. Visually inspect Kenlift®for signs of stress and wear.
2. Check that bolts and nuts are snug.
3. Ensure free movement of all components.
4. Ensure that all warning labels are present and readable.
5. Check that actuator mounting screws are snug and seated.
6. Lubricate all moving mechanisms with penetrating oil.
7. LUBRICATE ACTUATOR WITH LIGHT PENETRATING OIL ONLY
(WD40™)
8. For Pads:
a.Check that all pad mounting bolts and nuts are tight.
b.Verify freedom of rotation for pad angle.
c.Ensure that pad material is sound, and not de-laminated from backing plates.
d.Ensure that pad mounting bolt heads are min.3/32” below the surface of the pad.
e.Ensure pads are clean and free of any foreign material or substance.
B. Annually*
1. Remove pivot bolts and washers, coat with grease.
2. Inspect holes, pins, bolts etc. for wear. See sect VII for criteria.
3. Remove actuator, clean and lubricate with light penetrating oil –check for signs
of wear, replace if necessary.
* Frequency depends on usage, environmental conditions, etc.

B. Specific
1. Lift Bail
a. The lift bail shall be replaced if a
20% loss in cross-sectional area from
the original member(s) can be
demonstrated. Note: cross section of
welds, “mushroomed” wear faces,
and burrs are not accounted for as
cross-sectional area. (See ill.)

replaced if a 10% loss in cross-sectional area from the original member(s)
can be demonstrated. Note: cross section of welds, “mushroomed” wear
faces, and burrs are not accounted for as cross-sectional area.
3. Pins/Bolts

a. For units utilizing urethane gripping pads, if surface of any given mounting
bolt is not at least 3/32” below the surface of the pad,.
b. Any de-lamination of the pad from the backing plate.
c. Any scarring, chunking, or missing pad material constituting a total
combined loss of surface area greater than 3 sq. in. per pad.
