Hand Chain
Hand Chain should be cleaned, inspected and checked for damage.
Changing the length of the hand chain
The hand chain on a TCB chain block is normally supplied to hang 500mm shorter than the height of lift of the load chain. For
particular applications it may be supplied at a different length or may need to be adjusted to a different length. Or if the height
of lift has changed and the load chain replaced, the hand chain may need to be adjusted.
The hand chain may contain an unwelded link. This link can be placed in a vice and twisted open to facilitate changing chain
or chain length. Please note that opening and closing of the connecting link more than twice is not recommended.
The hand chain may contain a special riveted Tiger hand chain joining link (HC-050-JL). This link can be removed by drilling
the rivets out.
Use a new link to close the loose chain ends by bending it or use a Tiger hand chain joiner link and stainless steel rivets
available from your Tiger supplier. For extending the hand chain, two new chain links or Tiger hand chain joiner links are
required.
Note: See Chapter 6 Chain and Hooks for information about the orientation of the Tiger hand chain joiner link.
Note: Always remove or add an even number of chain links.
Note: Care must be taken to ensure that there is no twist in the hand chain loop.
Replacing the hand chain
Take the hand wheel cover off and replace the hand chain with a new hand chain loop.
