1 DEFINITION ! DANGER Danger: is used to indicate the presence of hazard, which will cause death or severe injury, if the warning is ignored. ! WARNING Warning: is used to indicate a possible hazard, which could cause death or severe injury, if the warning is ignored. ! CAUTION Caution: is used to indicate a possible hazard, which could cause light injury, if the warning is ignored.
3 SAFETY PRINCIPLES 3.1 SAFETY SUMMARY Danger exists when lifting and travelling with loads, particularly when the chain block is not used properly or is poorly maintained. Since an accident or serious injury could result, special safety precautions apply to the operation with the chain block during its assembly, maintenance and inspection.
3.2.2 When in use ALWAYS make sure the load is properly seated in the hook. ALWAYS make sure the safety latches of hooks work in the correct way. ALWAYS pay attention to the limit positions. ALWAYS use manual power only. ALWAYS when lifting loads approaching the nominal lifting capacity of the lifting device, we recommend, regarding the operating forces, the operation...

5.1 MECHANICAL CLASSIFICATION Safety and life of the travelling chain block is guaranteed under presumption it works in accordance with the specified classification. The travelling chain block is designed for the class 1Bm according to the regulation FEM 9.511 – see TABLE 5.1. (conforms to classification of the mechanism M3 according to the ISO 4301/1).

! WARNING The permissible maximum deflection of the trolley beam track from loading by own mass and nominal loading capacity is 1/500 of distance between suspending (supports). Permitted maximum gradient of running surface is 0,3%. Maximum height of the trolley beam track above the floor is 20m. An application of the chain block on higher trolley beam tracks is necessary to be consulted with the manufacturer.
6) The same number of distance washers set on the other side of the lifting loop (sheave fork). 7) Put on the lower flange of I – beam the other side plate and set on the cross beam all remaining distance washers and ensure by cotter pin. 8) Stretch ends of both cotter pins so that they cannot fall out.
6.3.1 Setting of the hand chain After the installation of the chain block in the workplace we check the position of the hand chain. The distance of the end of bottom loop of the hand chain over the level of the surface, on which operation staff of the chain block stands during the operation, must be in the range 500 –1000mm.
It is operated by means of hand chains. It is determined for organisations and private persons as well. When installed outside, protect the chain block against the direct climatic influences. ! WARNING Since work with heavy loads may present an unexpected danger, it is necessary to follow all the “Safety instructions”...
7.3 SAFETY WORKING ENVIRONMENT ! WARNING (1) The operating staff must be demonstrably familiarized with this manual, must follow safety and hygienic regulations and must be authorized to the operation of this equipment. (2) The operating staff must be equipped with helmet, gloves and suitable footwear. (3) Only verified binding means of appropriate lifting capacity are to be used for binding loads.
8.1.2 Daily inspection Check, at parts such as those listed in section 8.2(1) “Daily inspection”, whether chain blocks are not damaged or are without any defect. Provide this inspection also during the operation in the interval between regular inspections. Qualified employees shall determine, whether any defect or damage can constitute a hazard or more detailed inspection is required.

10.3 LOAD CHAIN ! WARNING The wrong maintenance and inappropriate lubrication of the chain can be a cause of a serious accident. ALWAYS lubricate the chain 1 x per week or more often according to the exigency of the operation. ALWAYS lubricate more often in corrosive environment than under normal circumstances (salt water, sea environment, acids, etc.).
11.2.2 Multi-fall chain Take off the free end of the chain on the chain block body after previous dismantling of cotter pins and sliding off the pin. Hook C – link and end link of the new chain after the last link of the free strand - see pic.
11.6 CHECK Check all the dismantled parts, whether they are suitable for further use. 1. Check all gears including the shaft, whether they are not worn out and have no scratches or cracks. 2. Check, whether the treaded parts have undamaged tread. 3.
