Operation
Note: This lifting device must ONLY be used by competent operators. All users
must be trained in the use of lifting equipment. Inexperienced users must receive
instruction prior to using this device. A risk assessment must be carried out before
undertaking any lifting operations.
WARNING: ALWAYS wear personal protective equipment appropriate for the
work area and type of load, including but not limited to eye protection, gloves, hard
hat, protective shoes and hearing protection.
Free-chaining (neutral mode)
WARNING: NEVER attempt to switch the Direction Control to 'NEUTRAL' when
a load is attached to the lever hoist. This may result in property damage and/or
serious, even fatal injury.
Note: In free-chaining mode the chain may be freely pulled through the Drum (2) in
either direction, either by pulling on the chain, or by rotating the Chain Brake Dial
(3). This mode can be used to adjust the chain prior to attaching a load.
1. Toggle the Direction Control (4) lever into the 'NEUTRAL' position
2. Rotate the Chain Brake Dial (3) anticlockwise, to disengage the brake
Lifting
WARNING: ALWAYS evacuate bystanders from the immediate lifting area.
Clearly communicate when lifting commences and finishes. NEVER allow anybody
to stand under a suspended load.
WARNING: Raise and lower in a smooth, controlled manner. DO NOT shock
load the lever hoist by allowing the attached load to fall freely, even for very short
distances. Ensure the chain moves freely and does not twist.
WARNING: The brake may become hot during prolonged use of the lever hoist.
Stop using the tool intermittently to ensure the brake does not overheat.
1. Ensure the lever hoist is not set to free-chaining mode (see 'Free-chaining')
2. Switch the Direction Control (4) into the 'UP' position
3. With the load safely attached as described in 'Attaching the load', operate
the Lever (5) until the Load Chain (8) is taut. Confirm that it is vertical (i.e. not
pulling at an angle)
4. Start to raise the load by further operation of the Lever. Check that it is level
with no possibility of the load tilting and/or slipping from its restraints
5. If necessary, switch the Direction Control to 'DOWN' , lower the load by
operating the Lever, and readjust slings to obtain a safe, level lift
6. Continue to raise load to required height in a slow and controlled manner.
DO NOT raise the load so far that the Load Hook (5) comes into contact with
the Drum (2)
7. To lower the load, switch the Direction Control to 'DOWN', and operate the
lever. Again, lower smoothly and slowly and DO NOT lower so far as to
completely extend the full length of the Load Chain. Stop before the Chain End
Stop (9) reaches the Drum
