INSTRUCTIONS & CAUTIONS
Check Weight Limits Carefully
Before using your manual lever chain hoist, always confirm that the load you’re lifting is within the hoist’s rated capacity. Lifting a load that’s too heavy can cause equipment failure or, worse, accidents. Make sure to accurately calculate the weight of the load and ensure it’s within the hoist’s safe working limit for reliable and secure operation.
Use in Suitable Environments
Ensure your hoist is used in the right environment. Avoid using it in extreme temperatures or high-humidity areas, as these conditions can affect the performance and lifespan of the hoist. For best results, use the hoist in a clean, dry, and obstacle-free space to avoid damage and ensure smooth operation.
Conduct Regular Inspections
It’s crucial to inspect your hoist regularly, especially the chain, hooks, and brake system. Check for signs of wear, rust, or any damage that could compromise safety. If any part appears worn or damaged, stop using the hoist until repairs are made. Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your equipment.
Avoid Adjusting While Under Load
Never attempt to adjust the chain or make any changes while there is a load suspended. Doing so can lead to dangerous accidents or damage to the hoist. Always lower the load to the ground or a stable surface before making any adjustments. This simple step ensures safe and efficient operation.

FAQ
What is a manual lever chain hoist and how does it work?
A manual lever chain hoist is a versatile lifting tool that uses a lever and chain to lift or lower heavy loads. You operate the hoist by turning the lever, which moves the chain through a gear system to lift your load. It’s an ideal solution when electricity isn’t available, offering a reliable and cost-effective way to handle lifting tasks in various industries.
How do I maintain a manual lever chain hoist?
Check the Chain: Regularly inspect the chain for signs of wear, rust, or damage. Replace any worn or damaged links immediately to maintain safety and performance.
Lubricate Moving Parts: Apply lubricant to the gears and other moving parts to prevent corrosion and ensure smooth operation. Lubrication helps extend the life of the hoist.
Inspect Hooks and Brake System: Examine the hooks and brake system for any signs of wear or malfunction. Damaged hooks or brakes should be replaced to ensure the hoist operates safely.
Replace Damaged Parts: If any components are damaged, replace them right away. Ignoring damaged parts can lead to unsafe lifting conditions and equipment failure.
Perform Regular Maintenance: Consistently maintaining your hoist will ensure it operates safely and efficiently, extending its service life and reducing the risk of malfunctions.
What are the safety features of manual lever chain hoists?
Double-Pawl Brake System: Provides enhanced safety by preventing the load from slipping, ensuring reliable operation even with heavy or unbalanced loads.
High-Strength Chains: Built with durable, high-strength chains that resist wear and stress, offering reliable lifting power and increased safety.
Forged Steel Hooks with Safety Latches: Hooks are made from forged steel for added strength and durability, with safety latches that prevent accidental load release.
Automatic Load Brake: Many models include an automatic load brake that locks the load in place when stationary, preventing unwanted movement and improving safety during lifting operations.
Ensures Safe Operation: These safety features work together to ensure safe and efficient lifting, even in demanding or unstable conditions.
How do I ensure smooth operation of my manual lever chain hoist?
Keep the Hoist Clean: Regularly clean the hoist and keep it free of debris to ensure optimal performance and prevent damage.
Lubricate the Chain and Gears: Apply lubricant to the chain and gears to reduce friction and prevent corrosion, ensuring smooth operation.
Inspect the Brake System and Load Hooks: Check the brake system and load hooks for wear or damage before each use to ensure safety and proper function.
Ensure Free Movement of the Lever: Verify that the lever moves freely without obstruction, allowing for smooth operation during lifting.
Proper Mounting and Alignment: Make sure the hoist is securely mounted and aligned properly to prevent unnecessary strain and ensure safe operation.
Perform Regular Maintenance and Timely Repairs: Conduct routine maintenance and make repairs promptly to keep your hoist working efficiently and prolong its lifespan.
Can I use a manual lever chain hoist to lift loads at an angle?
Yes, manual lever chain hoists can lift loads at an angle, but it’s important to ensure that the load is balanced and aligned properly. Using the hoist at an angle can sometimes put extra strain on the equipment, so always check that the hook is securely positioned and that the load is stable. For frequent angled lifts, consider hoists with swivel hooks for added flexibility.
How do I install a manual lever chain hoist?
Mount to a Stable Structure: Secure the hoist to a stable beam or trolley using the recommended hardware to ensure a solid installation.
Ensure Proper Alignment: Make sure the hoist is level and aligned correctly to avoid strain and ensure smooth operation during lifting.
Follow Manufacturer’s Instructions: Always refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for specific installation guidelines to ensure safety and correct setup.
Verify Secure Installation: Before use, double-check that the hoist is firmly mounted and all connections are secure to prevent any operational issues.
