Attaching the load
WARNING: DO NOT use the chain as a sling. This may cause damage to the chain.
•
Attach load to Load Hook (4), using slings, chains or other lifting devices, suitable for the type,
shape and weight of the load (see Fig. I).
•
Centre the load on the Load Hook correctly (see Fig. II).
WARNING:
•
NEVER load the Load Hook in front of the Safety Bar (see Fig. III-A).
•
NEVER load the Load Hook tip (See Fig. III-B).
•
NEVER load the Load Hook off the centre line (See. Fig. III-C).
•
NEVER load the Load Hook sideways (See Fig. III-D).
WARNING: ALWAYS ensure that the Mounting Hook (1) is fully engaged, with its Safety Bar
(5) securely closed.
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.
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 chain block
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 chain block. Stop using the
tool intermittently to ensure the brake does not overheat.
1. Smoothly pull the Hand Chain (3) until the Load Chain (6) is taut. Confirm that it is vertical (i.e.
not pulling at an angle).
2. Start to raise load. Check that it is level with no possibility of the load tilting and/or slipping
from its restraints.
3. If necessary, lower the load and readjust slings to obtain a safe, level lift.
4. Stop lifting at approximately 100mm to check that the brake will hold the load.
5. Continue to raise load to required height in a slow and controlled manner. DO NOT raise the
load so far that the Load Hook (4) comes into contact with the Block (2).
6. To lower the load, pull down on the opposite side of the Hand Chain. Again, lower smoothly
and slowly and DO NOT lower so far as to completely extend the full length of the Load Chain.
Accessories
•
Additional lifting equipment and accessories, including lifting slings, are available from your
Silverline stockist.
Maintenance
Inspection
Note: All lifting equipment must be regularly inspected and maintained by a competent person, in
accordance with local laws and regulations (e.g. Lifting Equipment Regulations, etc.). Maintenance
must be recorded in a dedicated service record (see end of this manual).
WARNING: Carry out a visual inspection of all components every time the chain block is
used and listen for any unusual sounds or signs of defects during operation. Perform an in-depth
examination every time the device has not been used for some time.
1. Inspect the entire chain block for cracks, nicks or breaks in the metal. Inspect every millimetre. If
necessary, clean before inspection to enable better detection of hairline cracks.
2. Inspect for deformed, bent or dented parts. Check each link of the chains for signs of wear,
distortion or damage.
6
3. Inspect all metal surfaces for any signs of corrosion such as pitting, scaling or red dust which
can be a sign of rust.
4. Inspect for heat damage, which may present as discolouration or darkening of the metal
surfaces.
5. Perform a functional test:
•
The braking/locking mechanism must function easily, and chain block must operate
smoothly and easily, without binding.
•
Ensure hooks are not twisted. Open and close hook latches such as the Safety Bar (5),
checking they close fully and are secure.
WARNING: Inspect and test the brake mechanism before every use. Brake linings can become
worn over time and present a serious hazard if compromised.
WARNING: This tool does not contain any user-serviceable parts. Never disassemble the
chain block. Always return the device to an authorised Silverline service centre for maintenance
and repairs.
Cleaning
•
Keep your tool clean at all times. Dirt and dust will cause internal parts to wear quickly, and
shorten the device's service life.
•
Clean the body of your tool with a soft brush, or dry cloth.
Lubrication
•
Lubricate all moving parts with a suitable lubricant spray, at regular intervals.
•
Keep the load chain and both hook shanks clean and lubricated.
WARNING: Never allow oil or grease to come into contact with the brake mechanism.
