Risk of electric shock.
Risks in potentially explosive atmospheres.
Operator duties of care
The device has been designed and built under consideration of a risk assessment
and following the careful selection of the harmonised standards as well as other
technical specifications to be observed. It is therefore in line with the latest
technology and guarantees optimum safety.
The interface of our scope of delivery is the complete device from the suspension
point to the load hook and control unit, if this is included in the order. Other
equipment, tools, slings and main energy supply systems must be installed in
accordance with the appropriate regulations and directives. For devices protected
against explosions, all of these parts must be approved and suitable for explosion
protection. Responsibility for this rests with the operator.
However, the high level of safety can only be achieved during operations if all of
the necessary measures have been met. The operator’s duty of care for the device
involves planning these measures and checking their implementation.
The operating manual should be supplemented with further instructions, including
supervisory duties and duties to communicate information in consideration of special
operational features, e.g. with regard to the organisation of work, workflows or the
personnel used.
The operator must, in particular, ensure that:
• the device is solely used as intended.
• the device is solely operated in a fault-free, fully functional condition and, in
particular, that the functioning of the safety equipment is regularly checked.
• necessary personal protective equipment for the operating, maintenance and
repair staff is available and used.
• the operating manual is always available in a legible format at the place where
the device is used.
• only qualified and authorised personnel operate, service and repair the device.
• these members of personnel receive regular training on all relevant matters
relating to occupational health and safety and environmental protection, and they
comply with the operating manual and, in particular, the safety instructions this
contains.
• any safety and warning notices affixed to the device are not removed and remain
legible.
• devices specially designed for explosion protection must be grounded on site
with a conductive resistance to earth of < 106Ω.

Functional description
The load is lifted, lowered or tensioned by operating the lever. A load pressure brake
prevents the load from automatically lowering.
Undefined forces can occur during ‘overhead’ work and ‘rigging’. In such situations,
we recommend using a device with a slipping clutch.
The best way to prevent malfunctions when the device is subject to extreme ambient
conditions is to use it regularly.
Important components
• Gear unit
Gear unit parts are made from premium quality materials.
• Load pressure brake
For holding the load in any position. A new kind of brake system has been used
for the devices. The brake discs are made from sintered-on pad segments and are
wear-free for the life of the devices providing they are used as intended. According
to DIN 13157, the service life is 1500 work cycles (lifting/lowering processes) with
a 300 mm stroke under a nominal load.
• Housing
Made from sheet steel
• Load chain
Pursuant to EN 818-7-T in special grades. All individual components are precisely
aligned. Only use original chains.
• Load hook
Forged steel. Pivotable, thereby preventing the chain from twisting during attach-
ment. With hook locking mechanism.
• Chain free-run
For pulling through the chain without a load.

7.1.1
Devices from 0.8 t to 6.3 t
Before starting work, ensure that the chain free-run is switched off.
Violent pulling can potentially close the brake and stop the chain being transported.
Set the switch knob to the lowering position ‘▼’, conduct several lowering processes
and then re-start the lifting process.
Lifting or dragging
Turn the switch knob to the mark (1) indicated on the rating plate for lifting or
dragging and move the load by ratcheting the hand lever
Lowering or releasing
Turn the switch knob to the mark (2) for lowering or releasing and move the load
with the hand lever
Chain free-run
When the device is used properly and as intended, it is not possible to accidentally
activate the chain free-run function while subject to a load. The brake system can be
released with only a low load; this is not a malfunction. The brake system functions
automatically if the load is greater than 30 kg for working load limits of up to 1000 kg
and more than 3% of the working load limit for devices over 1000 kg.
Never use force to try and activate the chain free-run under load.
Switching ON the chain free-run
• Turn the switch knob to the central position
• Pull up the free-run wheel in the direction of the
arrow ▲
Figure 5
DANGER!
Figure 6

13www.carlstahl-lifting.com

7.3
• The chain can be pulled through
in both directions
Switching OFF the chain free-run
• Use one hand to turn the free-run wheel in the
direction of the arrow ◄ while simultaneously
pulling on the load chain leg.
• The free-run wheel jumps back to the OFF position.
• Chain free-run is switched off.
Brake and retaining catch
The brake remains closed (clamped shut) if:
• the load is removed from the lever hoist without being lowered – this is possible
e.g. in the case of vertical lifting/lowering if the load is ‘transferred’ or in the case
of horizontal dragging/tensioning.
• the load hook is pulled against the housing and becomes clamped shut there.
The chain does not move and the load cannot be released.
Troubleshooting:
• Re-subject the lever hoist to a load
• Release the brake by setting down the load
• Alternatively, set the switch knob to the ‘lower’ mark and release the hand lever by
forcefully jerking it in the ▼direction
Transferring loads
In work processes such as the ‘transferral of loads’, the device from which the load
has been transferred cannot be used for lifting or lowering as the brake was not
closed during the transfer.
In such instances, please proceed as follows:
• Use device (A) to lift the load
• Hang the load in the hook on device (B) and lift it
until it hangs securely in the hook but has not yet
been removed from device (A)
• Continue the lowering process with device (A) until
device (B) supports the entire load
• The load has now been removed from device (A) and
the brake is open again

Commissioning
General information
Use in the Federal Republic of Germany:
Observe the valid national accident prevention regulations.
Use in other countries:
Inspections as above. Observe the national regulations and
the information in this manual!
Devices with a working load limit of up to 1000 kg and without motorised transport
or lifting drives must be approved by a ‘competent person’ before their initial use.
Devices with a working load limit of over 1000 kg or with more than one motorised
crane movement, e.g. cross travel in addition to lifting, must be approved by an
‘accredited competent person’ before their initial use.
‘Ready-to-use devices’ according to the valid national regulations with an
appropriate CE declaration of conformity are exceptions in this regard.
Definition of a ‘competent person’ (formerly ‘expert’)
A ‘competent person’ means a person who has the technical knowledge necessary
for inspecting the work equipment because of his/her vocational training, profes-
sional experience and current activity on the job.
Definition of an ‘accredited competent person’ (formerly ‘accredited expert’)
An ‘accredited competent person’ means a person who has knowledge in the field
of the work equipment to be inspected and is familiar with the applicable national
regulations on occupational health and safety, employers’ insurance association
regulations and generally acknowledged technical standards because of his/her
specialist training and experience. This competent person must regularly inspect and
provide expert evaluations on work equipment in line with the model and provisions.
The accreditation is issued by authorised monitoring bodies.
Load chain
• The load chain must be correctly positioned and oiled before its initial use.
• Remove the warning sign and fixing wire from the chain.
Do not use grease to lubricate the load chain
The liability and warranty shall become void without lubrication
Consistently good lubrication vastly extends the chain service life

Safety inspection
The following must be checked before the initial use and prior to subsequent use:
• Any mounting screws are tight and pins, linchpins and safety fittings are present
and secured.
• The chains are correctly positioned, oiled and in a good condition.
Servicing
General information
The purpose of all monitoring, maintenance and servicing work is to ensure that the
device operates safely and reliably. It must therefore be conducted carefully.
• Only allow work to be conducted by ‘competent people’.
• Only conduct work when the device is not subject to a load.
• Keep a written record of all inspection results and any measures taken.
Monitoring
The monitoring and maintenance intervals specified apply to normal conditions and
single-shift operation. In the case of tougher usage conditions, e.g. frequent use
under full load or certain ambient conditions such as heat, dust etc. the intervals
must be accordingly shortened.
Replacing the load chain
The chain must be replaced in the event of visible damage but in all events by
no later than upon reaching the discard stage, i.e. if e.g. one or more dimensions
shown in the table are reached when inspecting the chain or if the chain has become
corroded or malleably elongated.
Whenever the chain is replaced, the chain wheels must also be inspected and
replaced if necessary.
Procedure:
• Only retract the new chains without a load and exactly as the existing chains in
the device.
• Loosen the chain from the end attachment and hang a laterally open chain link
on it.
• To create a laterally open chain link simply grind out a piece.
The opening must have the same thickness as the chain link.
• Also hang a new and oiled original chain of the same size in the laterally open
chain link and retract.
• Do not install the chain twisted.
• Ensure the chain links are aligned.
• Attach the chain to the end attachment.

Maintenance
Load chain
Chain wear in the link points is usually caused by insufficient chain maintenance.
To ensure the optimum lubrication of the links, the chain must be lubricated at
regular intervals tailored to the usage.
• Use penetrative lubricant, e.g. transmission oil, to lubricate the chain.
• Always lubricate the chain without a load so that the oil can moisten the links
subject to wear. It is not sufficient to simply lubricate the chains externally as this
does not ensure that a film of lubricant forms in the link points. The adjacent link
points must always have a film of lubricant as increased chain wear otherwise
occurs.
• In the case of a constant chain travel length, particular attention must be
paid to the deflection point of the lifting and lowering movements.
• Carefully lubricating the chain extends its service life to about 20 times that
of a dry, non-lubricated chain.
• Use petroleum or a similar cleaning agent to clean dirty chains; never heat
the chain.
• In the case of ambient influences that promote wear (e.g. sand), a rock lubricant
such as graphite powder should be used.
• When lubricating the chain, also check its wear status.
Do not use grease to lubricate the load chain
The liability and warranty shall become void without lubrication

Pulleys
Load hook
• Check the load hook and pulleys once a year
• Clean the hook bearings and pulleys once a year and lubricate them with grease
• Plain bearing bushings are maintenance free
• If the bearings or plain bearing bushings are worn, the entire pulley must be
replaced
Gear unit
Regular lubricant checks are required. Clean and re-lubricate the teeth after approx.
3 years. We recommend using a class EP2 lubricant or similar products. Shorter
maintenance intervals are required for tougher operating conditions (e.g. dust, per-
manent use with nominal load etc.).
Threaded load-actuated brake
The brake pad wear is checked during the inspection. Replace the brake pads if
the wear limit is reached at any point on the pad, as may be the case if the pads
are unevenly worn.
The brake pads must be free from cracks. Oil, grease, dirt and moisture on the pads
should be avoided wherever possible as this causes increased wear.
The brake pad has been tested for the entire service life of the device under intended
use and should only be replaced in the event of unusual wear.
