William Hackett SS-L5 QP lever hoists can be used within an operating temperature range of -40°C to +120°C. William Hackett SS-L5 QP hoists are suitable for fleeting lifting. If multiple hoists are to be used in a fleeting operation, refer to Appendix 1: General Guidance for Fleeting Lifting at the end of this manual.
Pre-use checks Before the lever hoist is issued from the designated storage location a competent person must ensure that the appropriate certification is in place for the hoist. Safe use instructions should be made available. Possession of the relevant certification does not absolve the user from his responsibility to carry out pre-use inspections.
Hoist Operation Load Chain Dual Anti-Lock Brake System (DABS) operation The Hackett SS-L5 QP lever hoist may be used either in the vertical position as a hoist; or in an angled or horizontal position as a puller. Below is the general procedure for operating the hoist: 1.
Do not attempt lifting operations unless you understand the use of the equipment, the lifting and slinging procedures and you have been suitably trained. William Hackett SS-L5 QP lever hoists are not designed for lifting people and should not be used for that purpose.
Check the SS-L5 QP lever hoist Service and Inspection Log for the number of exposures and the total duration the SS-L5 QP has been in use. The SS-L5 QP lever hoist can be used as many times as the project requires over 31 day multi immersion period however when the SS-L5 QP lever hoist is in between immersions the William Hackett Immersion Policy, Procedures and Storage Control must be adhered to.
The SS-L5 QP range of subsea lever hoists are suitable for use inverted and are approved for this mode of operation. The SS-L5 QP lever hoist is much more versatile than a chain block, as it can be used in any orientation due to specially designed chain guides.

Practical Considerations in the Offshore Environment A chain lever hoist should be loaded and unloaded using the hoisting lever. When a load is removed from a chain lever hoist other than by the use of the hoisting lever (e.g. by transfer of a load to a surface crane) the brake mechanism will remain locked together.
