POWERTEX Chain Block PCB-S1 0.25 – 10 tonnes
Instruction for use (GB) (Original instructions)
Read through these user instructions carefully before using the chain block. Improper operation may lead to hazardous situations!
General safety provisions
•
Check the function of the chain block before use. See “Daily checks” on page 3.
•
Full function of the brake system can only be secured at a minimum load of 30 kg for capacities (WLL) up to 1 ton,
and for capacities (WLL) above 1 ton, the minimum load to be greater than 3% of the rated capacity (WLL).
•
Do not exceed the maximum load.
•
Handle the chain block with care. Do not throw the block about or let it fall to the ground.
•
Do not use the chain block for welding work where it is exposed to welding spatter or current.
•
The chain block must not be used for lifting persons.
Technical data
Safety factor : 4:1.
Static test coefficient: WLL x 1,5.
Generally according to EN 13157.
Function
The load hook is raised or lowered by pulling on the hand chain. The load will remain where it is even when the hand chain is released because
of the effective reaction brake.
Suspension of chain block
Suspend the block from an eye, shackle, girder trolley etc. with sufficient load capacity. With the chain tightened, both hooks must be vertically
aligned.
NB!
No bending stresses may be applied to block, hooks or load chain.
Raising/lowering
Only use straps and slings of sufficient load capacity. Check that the load is not anchored to the floor/ground or is otherwise fixed before making
the lift. Ensure that the load chain hangs vertically and has no kinks. The hand chain must also be in good condition and easily accessible. The
load is raised or lowered by pulling the hand chain in either direction.
Warning:
•
Only hand power from a single person is permitted on the hand chain. If the chain feels too heavy, use a bigger chain block or reduce the
load.
•
Make sure no-one stands beneath a hanging load.
•
Do not step onto a hanging load.
•
Do not raise or lower so far that the load hook hits the block housing.
•
The chain block must not be used for pulling loads.
•
The block must not be subjected to dynamic stresses, for example where a load connected to the block is launched from a height.
•
Do not leave a block with a suspended load unattended.
