8. OPERATION AND USE
8.1 WARNING:
Before each use ensure that the lever hoist is fully
inspected.
Ensure that all chains are not twisted. The lever hoist
must always be rigged to lift in a straight line. The hoist
must always be free to swivel on the upper hook and
not be disrupted in any way. Under no condition should
the hoist frame or hanger bear any support or weight of
the load.
NOTE:
The ambient operating temperature of this lever hoist is
between –10°C and +50°C.
8.2 MOUNTING THE LEVER HOIST (Fig.1.):
Ensure that the hook sits over the holding beam of a
secure beam clamp or dolly. The secure latch should be
in the closed position once the unit is hung. Before
attaching the load, ensure the hand lever runs freely.
8.3 FREE CHAINING (Fig.2.):
In this mode, the chain can be pulled through the hoist
in either direction by hand for quick attachment to the
load.
With no load on the hoist, set the directional lever to
the neutral position. Pull the free chaining dial out and
rotate in a counterclockwise direction, until the dial is
sitting on top of the cam guide. The internal gearing is
now disengaged and the chain can be pulled through
the hoist in either direction.
WARNING:
NEVER RELEASE THE FREE CHAIN DIAL WHEN THE LOAD
IS ATTACHED AS THIS WILL CAUSE INJURY.
After the chain has been pulled to the length required,
disengage the free chaining feature by moving the
direction lever to the load position and then rotate the
free chaining dial in a clockwise direction, until the dial
engages the cam guide. Pull the chain in either direction
to ensure the unit is out of free chaining mode.
8.4 LIFTING THE LOAD:
Ensure that the lower hook is attached to the load
securely over the centre of it's gravity, this will prevent
the load from tilting or twisting while the lift happens.
Ensure that the surrounding area is free of obstacles.
To lift the load, set the directional lever to the load
position and operate the lever, the load will be pulled
and tensioned. To lower the load, set the directional
lever in the unload position and lower the load by
operating the lever. Ensure that the area below the load
is free of obstacles.
Be aware that the braking mechanism can become
heated during prolonged lowering of loads.
