SVERO MINI Lever Hoist -15AL
Read this manual before using the lever hoist. Improper operation may lead to hazardous situations!
The manual must be kept during the whole working life of the lever hoist!
The house of this lever hoist is manufactured in aluminium which means low weight.
General safety provisions
• Check the function of the lever hoist before use. See “Daily checks”.
• Do not exceed WLL (Working Load Limit).
• Handle the lever hoist with care. The house is manufactured in aluminium. Do not throw the hoist
• or let it fall to the ground.
• Do not use the lever hoist for welding work where it is exposed to welding spatter or current.
• The lever hoist must not be used for lifting persons. Therefore don't stand on a load being lifted.
• Ambient temperature -10°C – +55°C.
Function
Loads may be raised or lowered by using the lever, depending on
the position of the selector UP or DOWN (U/D). The load will
remain in its position even if the lever is released because of the
effective reaction brake. Unloaded chains can be pulled through
the hoist with the selector in neutral position (N).
Pulling through the unloaded chain (see fig. 1)
Make sure the chain is unloaded and set the selector to neutral
position N. Pull the chain through by hand to the desired position.
Warning: If the selector is in position UP or DOWN when the chain
is pulled, the lever may rotate like a propeller, which could be
dangerous.
Warning: If the lever hoist is used on a load, which is too light, the
brake function will not engage. The load must be at least 10% of
maximum load. For example a minimum load of 50 kg is necessary
to engage the brake of a 0,5-ton hoist. For light loads choose a
smaller lever hoist!
If it proves impossible to pull the chain through despite the selector
being in neutral, it may be necessary to release the brake first, by
turning the hand wheel anti-clockwise. If this does not help, set the
selector to position DOWN, load the chain slightly and jerk the
lever in clockwise direction. Then try again without load but with
the selector in neutral.
