Only fit hand chains which have been approved by the manufacturer. Non-compliance with this specification will
render the legal warranty or guarantee void with immediate effect. See Hand Chain Maintenance below for more
information on maintenance of the hand chain.
If the unit's hand chain has been supplied or subsequently fitted with a Tiger hand chain joiner link (HC-050-JL)
make sure that it has been fitted correctly and is in good working order.
Make sure that the HC-050-JL has been fitted in the correct orientation as shown in figure 1 below. To achieve this,
the HC-050-JL stainless steel rivet heads must be facing the outside of the hand wheel and the joiner link must sit
within the hand wheel pocket as seen in figure 2 below:
Figure 1
Regularly inspect the HC-050-JL. In the event of any defects remove from service and refer the hoist to a competent
person for thorough examination:
•
Wear: make sure that the two stainless steel rivet heads are complete and have not been worn away or corroded,
ensure the rivets are secure and tight a have solid hold of both plates.
•
Damage: ensure the link has not been damaged and that both sides of the link join together to form a flat surface
without any signs of distortion by being: bent, twisted, cracked, corroded or stretched.
If the rivets are to be replaced during inspection or maintenance, the dimensions are 2.4mm × 6.0mm and must
conform to EN ISO 15983 and the material is stainless steel. These and the joiner links are available as a spare part
from Tiger.
Hand Chain Maintenance
Hand Chain should be cleaned, inspected and checked for damage. Hand chain, used on geared trolleys, does not
normally require lubrication.
Changing the length of the hand chain
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. See above for information about the orientation of the Tiger hand chain joiner link.
