Cross Hauling/Fleeting Operations - Tiger TCB Series Original Instruction Manual

Operating Principle of Overload Protected Chain Block
If the chain block is fitted with a slipping clutch overload mechanism then it is protected from overload.
The overload protection device is normally set to engage when a load of approximately 135% (±10%) of the WLL is lifted,
unless otherwise specified during purchasing. When the load limit is exceeded, the clutch in the chain wheel will slip, allowing
the hand wheel to be rotated whilst not engaging the gear box. This prevents further lifting of the load, though lowering is still
possible. Continual overloading of the unit must be avoided as the efficiency of the clutch may be impaired. The overload
clutch is factory set and should only be adjusted or repaired by a Tiger authorised repairer. If there is any doubt as to the
unit's ability to lift a load then don't. Remove the unit from service and have it checked by your local Tiger distributor or
service centre.
! WARNING
Never disassemble or attempt to adjust the overload limiter assembly. Any attempt to do so will void the warranty.

Cross Hauling/Fleeting Operations

The TCB and SS12 ranges of chain blocks fitted with the patented protected twin pawl quad cam brake system have undergone
a full and comprehensive testing regime that was drawn up by industry specialists and Tiger's mechanical engineers to
provide evidence that these units can be safely used for "fleeting" and "cross-hauling" applications up to 45°.
Note: All such operations should be carried out in accordance with manufacturer's instructions and fully risk assessed by a
competent person.
