Testing
Before using, all altered, repaired, or used lever hoists that have not been operated for the previous 12 months, should be
tested by the user for proper operation. First test the unit without a load and then with a light load of 2% to be sure that the
lever hoist operates properly. Next test with a load of 100% rated capacity. In addition, lever hoists in which load sustaining
parts have been replaced should be tested with 100% of rated capacity by or under the direction of an appointed person and a
written report prepared for record purposes.

Transport, Storage, Decommissioning and Disposal
Transporting the unit:
Do not drop or throw the unit, always deposit it carefully.
Load chains must be transported in a way to avoid knotting and formation of loops.
Use suitable transport means. These depend on the local conditions.
Storing or temporarily taking the unit out of service:
To ensure the continuing integrity of the unit you should store the unit in conditions that do not lead to damage or
deterioration. Therefore:
Always store the hoist unloaded.
The hoist should be secured against unauthorised and unwarranted use.
Store the unit at a clean and dry place.
Protect the unit including all accessories against contamination, humidity and damage by means of a suitable cover.
Protect against corrosion.
Wipe off all dirt and water.
A light oil film should be applied to the chains, hook pins and hook latch pins.
Since the brake disks may freeze at temperature below 0°C, the unit should be stored with closed brake. Turn the
handle clockwise to this effect and hold the load fall at the same time.
If the unit is to be used again after it has been taken out of service, it must first be inspected again by a competent
person.
Disposal
When the product comes to the end of its lifecycle, after taking the unit out of service, recycle or dispose of the parts of the
unit respecting local and national environmental regulations.
Use only Tiger supplied replacement parts. Parts may look alike; however Tiger parts are made of specific materials,
processed to achieve specific properties or precisely machined to fit only Tiger hoists.
Any repairs to this lever hoist must be undertaken by a suitably qualified and competent person. Following any repairs,
this lever hoist must be tested in line with relevant standards prior to its reintroduction to service.
