Care in use
1.
All persons involved in the operation of a lever hoist must read the
manufacturers handbook and be completely familiar with all operating
and maintenance procedures.
2.
When operating a lever hoist, always maintain a firm footing and when
necessary be secured. Operate the lever hoist from a location that will
be clear of the load at all times. People must stay clear of the suspended
load. Never use the lever hoist to lift, support or transport people and
never lift loads over or near people.
3.
Before lifting a load, confirm that the lever hoist is in good condition
and functioning properly.
4.
Always keep the load chain well lubricated with light machine oil and
protect it from weld spatter and other damaging contaminants such as
corrosive chemicals etc.
5.
Never allow the load chain or hooks to be used as a ground for welding
and never touch them with live welding electrodes.
6.
Never use the lever hoist with twisted, kinked, damaged or worn load
chains and never attempt to lengthen or modify the load chain.
7.
Always use proper slings and attachments in the correct manner and
confirm that they are seated properly in the hooks. Also confirm that
the safety catch assembly has closed completely and is not supporting
any part of the load.
8.
Never lift more than the rated WLL (Working Load Limit) of the hoist.
9.
Slack load chain must be taken up carefully. While checking the
balance of the load, lift and lower the load <100mm to test the brake
system before lifting further.
10.
Never run the load chain out beyond the range of lift or to the chain
end anchor.
11.
Never allow your attention to be diverted when operating the lever
hoist and never leave a suspended load unattended.
