Thank you for purchasing a Sealey pulley block. This product is manufactured to a high standard of dependability and, if correctly cared for, will give
you years of trouble free performance.
Fig 1: Pulley Block
IMPORTANT: Before using the pulley block ensure that you have read, understood and applied the safety instructions in Section 1.
NOTE:
This pulley block will normally be used in conjunction with a mechanical pulling device and should never be operated by hand. Wear safety gloves and keep
hands away from moving pulley wheels.
3.1.
Rotate the hook to release the hinge plate and place the rope on the pulley groove. Close the hinge plate and rotate the hook through 90° to lock it.
DO NOT
attempt to use the pulley block with the hinge plate open.
3.2.
If using the pulley block for simple lifting (Section 5.A) ensure that it is suspended from a structure capable of supporting at least 1½ times the safe working load
of the block.
3.3.
Ensure that the block hook is fully engaged with the safety bar closed. Confirm that the total load does not exceed the working load of the block. See Section 5.
3.4.
Ensure that the lifting rope is securely and safely attached to the load and that the load is directly below the block.
3.5.
Take up the tension in the rope until the load rope is taut and not pulling at an angle.
3.6.
Start to raise the load and ensure that it is level, with no possibility of the load tilting and/or slipping from its restraints. If necessary, lower the load and readjust
the attachment point to obtain a safe, level lift.
NOTE: DO NOT
suddenly release the pulley rope, as the pulley has no braking system attached to it
.
3.7.
Continue to raise the load to the required height in a slow, controlled manner.
DO NOT
raise the load so far that the hook comes into contact with the block.
3.8.
Lower the load slowly and smoothly, avoiding jerky or abrupt movements.
3.9.
If, at any time, the rope will not move in either direction do not attempt to force it but, after arranging safe support for any suspended load, have the block
inspected by an Authorised Service Agent.
