Application
The L3 Series Lever Block is a portable lifting device easily operated by
hand lever. It is suitable for use in factories, mines, farms, construction sites,
wharves, docks and warehouses for installation of equipment, as well as for
loading and unloading goods. It is specially advantageous for lifting work in
open air grounds and places where no power supply is available. The lever
block can also be used to tighten and pull loads etc.
Standard chain lengths are 1.5 metres however longer chain lengths are
available upon request.

Care in use
1. All persons involved in the operation of a lever hoist must read the
manufacturers handbook and be completely familiar with all operating
and maintenance procedures.
2. When operating a lever hoist, always maintain a firm footing and when
necessary be secured. Operate the lever hoist from a location that will
be clear of the load at all times. People must stay clear of the suspended
load. Never use the lever hoist to lift, support or transport people and
never lift loads over or near people.
3. Before lifting a load, confirm that the lever hoist is in good condition
and functioning properly.
4. Always keep the load chain well lubricated with light machine oil and
protect it from weld spatter and other damaging contaminants such as
corrosive chemicals etc.
5. Never allow the load chain or hooks to be used as a ground for welding
and never touch them with live welding electrodes.
6. Never use the lever hoist with twisted, kinked, damaged or worn load
chains and never attempt to lengthen or modify the load chain.
7. Always use proper slings and attachments in the correct manner and
confirm that they are seated properly in the hooks. Also confirm that
the safety catch assembly has closed completely and is not supporting
any part of the load.
8. Never lift more than the rated WLL (Working Load Limit) of the hoist.
9. Slack load chain must be taken up carefully. While checking the
balance of the load, lift and lower the load <100mm to test the brake
system before lifting further.
10. Never run the load chain out beyond the range of lift or to the chain
end anchor.
11. Never allow your attention to be diverted when operating the lever
hoist and never leave a suspended load unattended.

12. Inspect the lever hoist regularly and never use a lever hoist if its
malfunctioned or when unusual performance or damage is evident.
13. Never adjust, repair or modify a lever hoist unless you are competent in
performing hoist maintenance.
14. Use only genuine Austlift parts when repairing the lever hoist.
15. Never remove or obscure the nameplate on the lever hoist.
16. Examine the load chain to ensure that there is no twist with lever
hoists 2 falls of load chain; twists can arise from the bottom hook being
accidentally turned over through the load chains.
17. Confirm that the supporting structure is strong enough to support the
intended load to be lifted.
18. The changeover lever must be set to the “UP” position when the lever
hoist is under a load during hoisting or pulling operations. In some cases
with light loads (less than 2% of the WLL) if the changeover lever or hub
is set to the neutral position, the freewheeling system will function, and
the lever hoist will not be able to support the load.
19. Lifting a load with two lever hoists is not recommended. If the job is
unavoidable, keep the load well within the total rated capacity of the
two lever hoists and lift with exceptional care while maintaining proper
balance, angle and lifting speed.
20. Do not throw or drop the lever hoist from high places. Doing so may
cause damage to the lever hoist.

3. Adjusting the length of the chain.
CAUTION
1. Pull a small load up and down a few times to see that the brake
will not slip.
2. If the rotational play of the grip ring is too large, adjust the brake
according to Inspection and Maintenance “6” on the next page.
3. Select a lever having the proper rating according to the pulling
force of the handle.

To terminate idling
1. While depressing the retaining pawl as far
as possible to the bottom with a finger.
2. Pull the gripring outward.
Stop pressing the retaining pawl with Space your
finger so that it slides between the side plate and the
retaining plate, By pulling, the chain can now be freely
adjusted in both the upper and lower directions.

1. While pressing the retaining pawl as far
as possible towards the bottom
2. Push the grip ring gently inward.
This means the retaining pawl engages the
outer edge of the retaining plate.
1.Thereafter, grip the gripring, rotate it clockwise
a little, until engaged.
2. Push it in. The retaining pawl will automatically
set itself outside of the retaining plate.
Caution:
If the grip ring is pushed in with undue force, the gear
may be chipped or otherwise broken. If it does not set
property, please try again and if the problem persists
take the block out of service for inspection and repair.
C3 12
Tip The lever hoist will engage easier if you
tug on the chain during procedure 2.
C4 Do not fail to make sure that the retaining
pawl has returned from the outside of the
plate to its original position where it holds
the retaining plate. It will thereupon return
to the “normal state of use” as indicated in
step A.

After use
1. Be sure to leave the lever block in non-idling condition (See To
Termination of Idling on previous page).
2. Wipe dirt and water off and apply lubricant to the chain, the revolving
parts, the hook, the retaining pawl shaft, etc.
3. To store the lever block, hang it up in a dry place, away from the
excessive dust and harsh chemicals.
Inspection and maintenance
If flaws such as (elongation, deformed, wear, cracks, bend, etc ) are
discovered, replace the faulty parts with new genuine Austlift parts.
1. Check to see if the chain, end and bottom hook have been damaged.
2. See if the handle, grip ring, push ring, brake plate, retaining plate, hub
etc. have been damaged, check, also, to see if in an idling operation the
retaining plate and pawl have excessive rattle.
3. Check to see if the gear cover, gear ,side plate 1, top hook, hook, pin,
guide, load sheave, pinion shaft or side plate 2 has been damaged.
4. In assembling, wash all parts well with degreaser. The teeth on the
center line of two marks at the B gear spline, should be disposed, across
the 1 in the inner/outer, arrangement in the case of the 0.75T model,
in the inner/outer relation in the case of 3-ton model, and in the free
position for the 1.5T model.
How to disassemble the lever block
(See Illustration of Parts on page 10)
1. Disconnecting the chain; Set the end apart and slip the chain out in
idling condition (See step B on the previous page.)
2. Disassembly of the handle and brake; Disassemble from the right-hand
side of Illustration of Parts.
3. Disassembly of the gear and center; Disassemble from the left-hand
side of Illustration of Parts.
4. Reassembly; Assemble in the order of part numbers in Illustration of
Parts.
