PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS

1. PREPARATION FOR USE
• Inspect carefully for any damage that may have occurred during shipping. Check for loose, missing, or damaged parts.
• Lubricate the load chain along the whole length with non-acid, non-corroding machine oil (See Figure 1).
• Examine the load chain to ensure that there are no twists (See Figure 2). 6 ton chain hoists have 2 falls of load chain,
Twists can arise from the bottom hook being turned over through the load chains (See Figure 3). If a twist is found, reverse
capsize the chain to correct.
• Confirm the brake is functioning properly by lifting a test load (10% of rated capacity) a few inches off the ground several
times.
• Confirm that the supporting structure is strong enough to support the full rated capacity of the chain hoist with a generous
factor of safety.
• Be certain all personnel are clear of the load to be lifted and moved. Make sure the load will clear stockpiles, machinery, or
other obstructions when hoisting and traveling the load. Make sure the hoist operation area allows enough room for lever
operation, a clear zone for the operator and other personnel to stand, and allows the frame to swivel freely on the upper hook.
1. Operator requirements
• Read and fully comprehend this entire manual before hoist operation.
Operator must be trained in proper hoist operation and dealing with
potential malfunctions. Should not operate hoist while under influence
of alcohol, medications, or drugs. Should not operate the hoist while
tired or distracted. Should not operate hoist if they have a history of
seizures or other medical issues that may interfere with hoist operation. Should have proper coordination and vision.
2. Prior to operation be sure
• Hoist is clean and properly lubricated. Hoist is in proper working condition and maintenance records are up to date. Brake is
functioning properly. Area of operation is clear of flammable materials.
3. During hoist operation
• Maintain secure footing to prevent slipping and injury while operating. Confirm that hoist unit is attached securely to a
support before operation. Verify hook latches are not supporting any of the load. Do not hold the chain during hoist operation.
Slowly take up the load, verifying it is well supported and balanced before proceeding.
4. Free chain(free-wheeling) operation
Allows the unloaded hook to be quickly moved to the desired position by hand in order to attach the load.
1. Place the selector lever(Part No.5-2) to the Neutral (“N”)position.
2. Pull the load chain to the desired position to attach the load.
3. To disengage the free chain operation, move the selector lever to the (up) or (down) position.
4. Pull the load chain in both directions to assure it is out of free chain mode.

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING
Do not touch the hand wheel while lifting or lowering. Do not operate free chain mode while there is a load on the hoist.
Free-Wheeling will not be possible during the following conditions:
• When the lever hoist is under a load.
• When the guide handle (hand wheel) is in contact with something and not rotating freely.
• When the brake has locked from a large or abrupt load, turn the guide handle (hand wheel) 45 degrees counterclockwise
to unlock the brake.
• When the brake is locked.
• The brake can be unlocked by setting the selector lever to the “DOWN” position and manipulating the operating handle
counterclockwise.
5. Attaching the load
•If there are no twists in the chain, proceed on to attach the lower hook to the load.
•Do not use the chain to wrap around the load.
•The load should be seated in the bowl of the hook and should not bear against the tip of the hook or latch.
•The hook latch should be tightly closed against the hook tip
•Assure that the upper and lower hooks form a straight line and frame is able to swivel.
NOTICE
The lever hoist will automatically change from the free-wheeling condition to the brake locked condition
when a load is attaching.Attaching the load with one of the following two methods:
• Turn the hand wheel(Part No.2) clockwise until the brake locks from the force of the load.
• Pull firmly non-load side of the chain until the brake locks
from the force of the load (See Figure 4, 5). Turn the
selector lever to the “UP” position and hoist or pull by
manipulating the operating handle.
6. Hoisting (Pulling) and lowering (Releasing)
Hoisting (Pulling)
•Set the selector lever to the “UP” position. Take up the slacked load chain by turning the hand wheel clockwise or by free
wheeling (see above 4). Next, Manipulate the operating handle clockwise.
Lowering (Releasing)
•Set the selector lever to the “DOWN” position. Manipulate the operating handle counterclockwise. When there is no load on
the lever hoist, the load chain can be slackened by turning the hand wheel counterclockwise.
WARNING
1. Do not continue to lower the hoist when the end anchor(Part No.39) is against the hoist as damage to the hoist and loss of
load may result.
2. Pull the chain out by hand or turn the hand wheel (Part No.2) counter-clockwise to unhook the load.
Do Not release the load by other means than by cranking by the lever as the brake will remain tight or locked. If this happens,
jerk the lever in the down direction sharply to release the brake
Figure 4
Figure 5

7. Operating precautions
•Keep the load within the rated capacity marked on the lever hoist. An excess load may lead to an accident. The lever hoist is
overloaded when the lever handle is bent or the latch on the load hook will no longer close.
•Before operating, lift and lower the load about 4” (10cm) and test the braking system. Ineffective braking may lead to an
accident.
•Loads must be lifted as slowly as possible. Load swinging and abrupt shocks will impose excessive stress on the lever hoist
and could lead to overloading or brake locking.
•Extreme temperatures will affect the durability of the lever hoist. In subzero temperatures, loads must be lifted and lowered
very slowly and carefully.
•When hooking, the load must be applied squarely to the centre of the hook and the hook must not come loose during operation.
Never use the hook directly on a load (See Figure 6). Lift loads only with applicable clamps or hooks (See Figure 7).
•Mount the top hook for a fixed location. Ensure the fixed suspension point rests on the centre of the hooks saddle and that the
hook’s safety latch is engaged.
Figures 8 through 10 show improper hooking methods, which may cause the hook to elongate or bend. These hooking methods
may also obstruct the load chain and prevent the lever hoist from operating properly. In applications similar these, be sure to
use the correct slings and attachments to ensure safe operation and long life of the lever hoist.
•Never run the chain out too far. When the lever hoist is run out beyond the range of the lift, a dangerous excessive load is
imposed on the load chain, chain safety stop, and bearings.
•The selector lever must be set to the “UP”position when the lever hoist is under a load during hoisting or pulling.
•Lifting a load with two lever hoists is NOT RECOMMENDED. When lifting a load with more than one hoist, always ensure that
both hoists can lift the entire load individually.
•Do not throw or drop the lever hoist from high places. Do not drag the lever hoist during transportation. Doing so may cause
damage that may lead to an accident.

8. Care after use
•Never leave or store the lever hoist with the brake system locked. Loosen the brake system by operating the lever hoist as if
lowering a load.
•Always service and repair the lever hoist after use. Thoroughly clean the dust or if used in the rain, wipe off the dirt and
moisture. Lubricate all moving parts of the hoist after use, especially the load chain, to prevent rust.
•Inspect the hooks and load chain for bends and any other type of defects. Also check to see if the hooks freely rotate. If any
defect is found, replace the defective component before using the lever hoist again.
1. INSPECTION PRECAUTIONS
• All new, altered or modified equipment should be inspected and tested by personnel trained in the safety, operation and
maintenance of this equipment to ensure safe operation at rated specifications before placing equipment in service.
• Frequent and Periodic inspections should be performed on equipment in regular service.
• Frequent inspections are visual examinations performed by operators or service personnel and include observations made
during routine equipment operation.
• Periodic inspections are thorough inspections conducted by personnel trained in the safety, operation and maintenance of
this equipment.
• ASME B30.21 states inspection intervals depend up the nature of the critical components of the equipment and severity of
usage.
• Deficiencies revealed through inspection or operation must be reported to designated personnel trained in safety, operation
and maintenance of this equipment. Any corrective action must be completed and documented by written report before
placing the equipment in service.
2. RECORDS AND REPORTS
• Inspection records should be maintained for all load bearing equipment requiring periodic inspection.
• Written reports should be made on the condition of the critical parts as a method of documenting periodic inspection.
These reports should be dated, signed by the person who performed the inspection, and kept on file where they are readily
available for review.
3. FREQUENT INSPECTION
• The Manual Lever Hoist should be inspected at the beginning of each shift. Visual inspections should also be conducted
during regular service for any damage or evidence of malfunction which appears between regular inspections.
»»OPERATION: Check for visual signs or abnormal noises which could indicate a potential problem. Do not operate a hoist
unless the chain feeds through the hoist and hook block smoothly. If the chain binds, jumps or is excessively noisy, clean
and lubricate the chain. Do not operate the hoist until all problems have been corrected. The bottom hook should stop
moving when the hand chain stops moving.
»»HOOKS: Check for wear and damage monthly. This includes: cracks, twists, latch engagement and latch operation (See
Figure 12). Replace hooks that exceed the throat opening discard width. If the hook latch snaps past the tip of the hook, the
hook has been overloaded and must be replaced. Check the hook support bearings for lubrication and damage. Check that
hooks swivel easily and smoothly. Repair or lubricate as needed.
»»HOOK LATCHES: Check operation of hook latches. Replace if broken or missing. Ensure they catch the tip of hook.
»»CHAIN: Examine each link for bending, cracks in weld areas or shoulders, transverse nicks and gouges, weld spatter,
corrosion pits, striation (minute parallel lines) and chain wear, including bearing surfaces between chain links (See Figure 13).
Replace a chain that fails any of these inspections. Check lubrication and lubricate if necessary.
»»LOAD CHAIN REEVING: Make sure welds on standing links are away from the load sheave. Reinstall chain if necessary (See
Figure 14). Make sure chain is not capsized, twisted or kinked (See Figure 2 & 3). Adjust as required.
»» HAND LEVER: Check for cracks, bending and other damage. Replace if necessary.
INSPECTION PROCEDURES

4. PERIODIC INSPECTION
• According to ASME B30.21, frequency of periodic inspection depends on the severity of usage.
• Disassembly may be required for HEAVY or SEVERE usage. Any deficiencies must be corrected before hoist is returned to
service. Keep records of periodic inspections to provide a basis for continuing evaluation. Inspect all items in ‘Frequent
Inspection’. Also inspect the following:
»»Chain for excessive wear or stretch.
»»Worn, cracked or distorted parts such as hook blocks, top hooks, chain guide, stripper, loose end pin, shafts, gears, hook
collar and bearings.
»»Inspect for wear on the top of the pawl, teeth of the ratchet and pockets of the lift wheel and hand wheel. Loose or missing
bolts, nuts, pins or rivets.
»»Inspect brake components for worn, glazed or contaminated friction discs and scoring of the hand wheel hub, ratchet, and
friction hub.
»»Corroded, stretched or broken pawl spring.
»»Free movement of the pawl on the pawl stud.
»»Hook inspections using dye penetrant, magnetic particle or other suitable crack-detecting inspections should be
performed at least once per year, if external conditions indicate possible unusual usage.
»» Ensure chain stopper is installed in the last link of the anchor end of the load chain. Replace if missing.
5. HOISTS NOT IN REGULAR USE
• A hoist that has been idle for a period of one month or more should be given a Frequent Inspection before use.
• A hoist that has been idle for a period longer than one year should be given a Periodic Inspection before use.
• Standby hoists should be inspected at least semiannually in accordance with the Frequent Inspection. In abnormal operating
conditions this inspection should be completed at shorter intervals.

• The lever hoist is designed and manufactured to withstand heavy duty material handling operations, but wear and damage are
unavoidable after a extended use in less than ideal environments.
• Never leave the hoist in a damp environment or damp weather such as rain. Always store the hoist in a dry, well ventilated area.
• Proper lubrication will help lengthen the life of the chain hoist. Before storing, check to see if the hoist is well lubricated. Be
especially sure that the moving parts, such as gears and bearings, are well lubricated.
• Load chain and hooks
Note: The load chains and hooks are precisely heat-treated.
Never weld or heat-treat the load chain.
1. Lubrication
Proper lubrication with machine oil is necessary to increase the life of the chain. Lubrication should be done based on usage and
on a regular basis. It may be necessary on a weekly basis for heavy use or monthly if used less often.
• Clean the chain with an acid free cleaning solution to remove debris.
• Apply oil to chain focusing on bearing surfaces such as interlink areas.
• Do not apply oil to braking surfaces.
• Gears and shafts run on roller bearings and do not require lubrication.
2. Disassembly to Replace Load Sheave or Stripper
1. Remove the chain
2. Remove the lock nut (1), bolts(3), plain washer (4), hand wheel (2), lever handle (5), overload/brake cover assembly cover
assembly (13), female thread grip (10), friction disc (16), ratchet disc (17), free spring (15),and brake seat (18).
3. From the gear side remove the gear cover assembly (32), disk gear assembly (28), and drive shaft (29).Then remove the snap
ring (31) , spline gear (30), and gear side plate assembly (27). Slide the load sheave out of the gear side plate. Now the
stripper can also be removed (26).
3. Assembly
Before reassembly check each part for damage, corrosion, or excessive wear. Replace parts as necessary. Re-assemble the hoist
in reverse order to the disassembly steps listed above.Once assembled the chain can be installed and before use the unit should
be tested for proper function.
4. Storage of Hoist
Store the hoist in a clean dry area.
Maintain proper lubrication of the hoist while it is being stored.
If the hoist is malfunctioning clearly mark it before placing it in storage.
5. Outdoor Hoist Usage
Store hoist indoors when not in use.
Frequently inspect the hoist for signs of corrosion due to environmental factors.
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTION

6. Load Chain
Load chains worn-out or elongated beyond the permissible dimensions must be replaced at once. To examine, clean the chain
with an acid-free solvent and, using a caliper style gauge, measure the inside length of 5 links of chain under light tension.
Replace the entire load chain immediately if even one link of the load chain is extensively worn-out, elongated or damaged.
5 LINKS
Load Chain Dimensions
7. Hooks
TMG material handling hooks are designed to bend slightly when overloaded. If the hook opening is elongated beyond the
permissible dimension (10% greater than standard), the hook is dangerously deformed and must be replaced at once. No
deformation of the hook will arise when the chain hoist is used and maintained properly.
