Manual Tiger SS11-PLH En 201704 v3.2
If a load is attached to the hoist neither of the free wheel options in Fig. A or Fig. B will operate and the brake will remain active.
Following a chain free wheel adjustment the change lever is moved into either the up or down position
(Fig. C and D) for lifting or lowering operation.
Once the chain has been adjusted to required length and the load has been safely attached to the hoist and the desired
direction of travel has been chosen by selecting Up or Down (Fig. C and D), lifting and lowering can begin. To commence lifting
or lowering, place one hand on the body of the hoist for stability and the other hand on the anti-slip operating handle at the
bottom of the lever (Fig. F) and begin operating the ratchet handle to raise or lower the load. Ensure all landing areas are free
of obstruction and if necessary use assistance to ensure a safe operation.
Adjustable Chain End Stop
IMCA guidance note D 028 Rev. 1 “The Use of Chain Lever Hoists in the Offshore Environment” requires measures to avoid
single point failures in static or multiple rigging points. The Tiger SS11 Lever Hoist is fitted with a travelling chain end stop to
specifically address points in section 7.2 of these guidance notes. The travelling chain end stop is available as an option for
the PROLH so may be fitted to your hoist. If the end stop is to be used then it should be positioned as shown in Fig. E. Once the
load is about to be lowered the chain end stop can be returned to its normal position (Fig. F).
If a hoist has been left rigged under load for an extended period of time it is good practice to first raise the load slightly before
commencing any lowering operations.
