Manual Tiger SS11-PLH En 201704 v3.2
Discard tolerances should be judged by the experience of the technician carrying out the scheduled maintenance, but as a
guide, any play on the splines that results in visible movement between the components should be a sign that replacement
parts should be fitted.
Other Lubrication
When the lever hoist is disassembled for cleaning or repairs, the following locations should be lubricated using suitable
grease:
gears
load sheave bearings
load chain roller guides
gear bearing bushes
pinion shaft
inner of ratchet gear being careful not to contaminate the braking surfaces.
The brake is designed to operate unlubricated. Do not use any grease or lubricant on the braking surfaces. When lubricating
parts adjacent to the brake, do not use an excessive amount of lubricant as this could seep onto the brake surface.
The grease should be suitable for temperature ranges of -40°C (-40°F) to +50 °C (+122 °F). It should take into account the
application, temperature range, corrosion resistant properties required and other relevant conditions.
Thread lubricant or an anti-seize compound use is recommended for threaded shafts, capscrews and nuts. Unless otherwise
stated, remove old lubricant, clean part with an acid free solvent and apply a new coating of lubricant to part before assembly.
Using any grease or lubricant on the braking surfaces will cause brake slippage and loss of load control which may result
in injury and/or property damage. To avoid injury do not use any grease or lubricant on the braking surfaces. The brake is
designed to operate unlubricated.
! WARNING
The practice of shot blasting or any other aggressive cleaning of key component parts such as: S-03, S-05, S-07, S-10,
S-11, S-12, S-16, S-17, S-21, S-22, S-27, S-29, S-36, S-38, S-41 (or equivalent parts for PROLH) should not be done as this
may have an impact on the items’ tolerances and could affect the operation and efficiency of the unit (see exploded
diagrams Chapter 13 for part names).
