4. Suspend the new lubricated load chain also in the open link and pull it in (chain movement UP).
5. Do not fit a twisted chain. The welds must face outwards from the load sheave/wheel.
6. When the old load chain has passed through the hoist unit it can be detached together with the open chain link and the
bottom hook can be fitted on the new load chain just pulled in.
7. Fix the slack end of the new load chain on the anchor on the housing or frame (depending on model) of the hoist.
Multi-fall hoists
1. Only pull in the new chain when the bottom block is unloaded, otherwise the bottom block may drop when the load chain
is detached. Danger of injury!
2. An open load chain link (split link) is required as a tool. It can be obtained by using an abrasive wheel to cut a section
from an existing link with the same dimension. The length of the cut section must at least correspond to the thickness of
the link.
3. Detach the loaded-fall (tight/operational) end of the load chain from the top or bottom hook assemblies (depending on
model).
4. Suspend the prepared, open load chain link in the now free load chain end.
5. Suspend the new, lubricated load chain also in the open link and pull it through the bottom block and the hoist unit
(chain movement UP).
6. Do not fit a twisted chain. The welds must face outwards from the load sheave/ wheel.
7. When the old load chain has passed through the hoist unit it can be detached together with the open chain link.
8. Fix the loaded-fall (tight/operational) end of the new load chain on the housing/frame or on the bottom block (depending
on model) of the hoist.
9. Fix the slack end of the idle fall on the hoist instead of the old load chain.
Before returning chain to service or after replacing a load chain, lubricate liberally with chain oil or equal lubricant. Remove
excess lubricant from the chain by wiping with a cloth.
Note: Worn chain can be an indication of worn lever hoist components. For this reason, the lever hoist’s chain guide roller and
load sheave/wheel should be examined for wear and replaced as necessary when replacing worn chain.
Hooks
With same lubricant used on load chain, lubricate the hook shank and head within the hook yoke and the hook latch pivot
points.
Load chains are specially heat treated and hardened and should never be repaired.
The adjustable travelling end stop must always be fitted to the idle end of the chain.
Using other than Tiger supplied or approved load chain may cause the chain to jam in the lever hoist and/or allow the
chain to break and the load to drop. Due to the size requirements and physical properties, use only Tiger approved load
chain in Tiger lever hoists.
Do not use replaced chain for other purposes such as lifting or pulling. Load chain may break suddenly without visual
deformation. For this reason, cut replaced chain into short lengths to prevent use after disposal.
Failure to maintain clean and well lubricated load chain will void the manufacturer's warranty.
