Safety Instructions
Improper use of lever hoists could result in death or serious injury, to avoid these hazards:
Always be familiar with lever hoist operating controls, procedures and warnings.
Always allow only competently trained people to operate the hoist.
Always operate a hoist only if you are physically fit.
Always inspect the hoist before use (Refer to Chapter 5).
Always let the authorised personnel inspect the hoist periodically (Refer to Chapter 5).
Always make sure the lever hoist suspension hook is securely attached to a suitable support. The selection and calculation
of the appropriate supporting structure are the responsibility of the operating company.
Always maintain a firm footing or be otherwise secured when operating the lever hoist.
Always make sure that load slings or other approved sling attachments are properly sized and seated in the hook saddle.
Only approved and certified lifting tackle must be used.
Always make sure that the hook latch, is closed and not supporting any part of the load.
Always make sure that the load is free to move and will clear all obstructions.
Always take up slack chain carefully, check load balance, then lift a few centimetres and check to be sure the brake will hold
the load and that attachments to the load are firmly seated.
Always avoid any swinging of the load or load hook.
Always protect load chain from weld spatter or other damaging contaminants.
Always report any malfunction, unusual performance or damage of lifting equipment promptly to the appropriate person.
Always inspect the lever hoist regularly, replace damaged or worn parts and keep appropriate records of maintenance.
Always use genuine Tiger parts when repairing the lever hoist.
Always apply lubricant to the load chain as recommended in this manual.
Always make sure that you and others are clear of the load before lifting begins and stay clear of the suspended load.
Always warn personnel of your intention to move a load in their area. The operator may start moving the load only after it has
been attached correctly and all persons are clear of the danger zone.
Always make sure that the chain length is long enough for the intended job.
Always check that the hook latches are in proper working order before use (Refer to Chapter 6). Replace missing, damaged or
broken hook latches.
Always be sure that the hoist's rated capacity, which is found on the hoist's name plate/label and forged into the hooks, is in
excess of the weight of the load.
Always keep the load from hitting the chain.
Always use two hoists which have rated capacities equal to or more than the load to be lifted whenever you must use two
hoists to lift a load. This will provide adequate protection in the event that a sudden load shift or failure of one hoist
occurs.
