WARNING
This manual provides important information for all personnel
involved with the safe installation, operation and proper
maintenance of this product. Even if you feel you are familiar
with this or similar equipment, you should read this manual
before operating the product.
Danger, Warning, Caution and Notice
Throughout this manual there are steps and procedures which, if
not followed, may result in a hazard. The following signal words
are used to identify the level of potential hazard.
• Do not use this hoist for lifting, supporting, or transporting
people or lifting or supporting loads over people.
• Hoists are designed to provide a 4 to 1 safety factor.
Supporting structures and load-attaching devices used in
conjunction with this hoist must provide adequate support to
handle all hoist operations, plus the weight of hoist and
attached equipment. This is the customer’s responsibility. If in
doubt, consult a registered structural engineer.
The National Safety Council, Accident Prevention Manual for
Industrial Operations, Eighth Edition and other recognized safety
sources make a common point: Employees who work near cranes
or assist in hooking on or arranging a load should be instructed to
keep out from under the load. From a safety standpoint, one factor
is paramount: conduct all lifting operations in such a manner that
if there were an equipment failure, no personnel would be injured.
This means keep out from under a raised load and keep out of the
line of force of any load.
The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 generally places
the burden of compliance with the user, not the manufacturer.
Many OSHA requirements are not concerned or connected with
the manufactured product but are, rather, connected with the final
installation. It is the owner’s and user’s responsibility to
determine the suitability of a product for any particular use. It is
recommended that all applicable industry, trade association,
federal, state and local regulations be checked. Read all operating
instructions and warnings before operation.
Safety Summary
Ingersoll Rand hoists are manufactured in accordance with the
latest ASME B30.21 standards.
WARNING TAG
Each hoist is supplied from the factory with a multi-language
warning tag shown. If the tag is not attached to your unit, order a
new tag and install it. Refer to parts list for part number. Read and
obey all warnings and other safety information attached to this
hoist. Tag may be shown smaller than actual size.
Rigging: It is the responsibility of the operator to exercise
caution, use common sense and be familiar with proper rigging
techniques. Refer to ASME B30.9 for rigging information,
American National Standards Institute, 1430 Broadway, New
York, NY 10018.

SAFE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The following warnings and operating instructions have been
adapted in part from American National Standard ASME B30.21
and are intended to avoid unsafe operating practices which might
lead to injury or property damage.
Ingersoll Rand recognizes that most companies who use hoists
have a safety program in force in their plants. In the event that
some conflict exists between a rule set forth in this publication
and a similar rule already set by an individual company, the more
stringent of the two should take precedence.
Safe Operating Instructions are provided to make an operator
aware of dangerous practices to avoid and are not necessarily
limited to the following list. Refer to specific sections in the
manual for additional safety information.
1. Only allow personnel trained in safety and operation of this
product to operate hoist.
2. Only operate a hoist if you are physically fit to do so.
3. When a “DO NOT OPERATE” sign is placed on hoist, do
not operate hoist until sign has been removed by designated
personnel.
4. Before each shift, the operator should inspect hoist for wear
or damage.
5. Never use a hoist which inspection indicates is worn or
damaged.
6. Periodically, inspect hoist thoroughly and replace worn or
damaged parts. Refer to “INSPECTION” section.
7. Lubricate hoist regularly. Refer to “LUBRICATION”
section.
8. Do not use hoist if hook latch has been sprung or broken.
9. Check that hook latches are engaged before using.
10. Never splice a hoist chain by inserting a bolt between links.
11. Only lift loads less than or equal to rated capacity of hoist.
Refer to “SPECIFICATIONS” section.
12. Never use hoist load chain as a sling.
13. Never operate a hoist when load chain is not centered under
top hook. Do not “side pull” or “yard.”
14. Never operate a hoist with twisted, kinked, “capsized” or
damaged load chain.
15. Do not force a chain or hook into place by hammering.
16. Never insert point of hook into a chain link.
17. Be certain load is properly seated in saddle of hook and hook
latch is engaged.
18. Do not support load on tip of hook.
19. Never run load chain over a sharp edge. Use a sheave.
20. When using two hoists to suspend one load, select two hoists
each having a rated capacity equal to or more than the load.
This provides adequate safety in the event of a sudden load
shift.
21. Pay attention to the load at all times when operating hoist.
22. Always ensure that you, and all other people, are clear of
load path. Do not lift a load over people.
23. Never use hoist for lifting or lowering people, and never
allow anyone to stand on a suspended load.
24. Ease slack out of chain and sling when starting a lift. Do not
jerk the load.
25. Do not swing a suspended load.
26. Do not leave a load suspended when hoist is unattended or
not in use.
27. Never weld or cut on a load suspended by the hoist.
28. Never use hoist chain as a welding electrode.
29. Do not operate hoist if chain jumping, excessive noise,
jamming, overloading, or binding occurs.
30. Keep load from hitting load chain.
31. Do not use a cheater bar or extended handle.
32. Never place hand inside throat area of a hook.
33. After use, or when in a non-operational mode, hoist should
be secured against unauthorized and unwarranted use.
34. Only operate hoist with manual power.

INSTALLATION
Prior to installing hoist, carefully inspect it for possible shipping
damage. Hoists are supplied fully lubricated from the factory.
Ensure load chain is lubricated prior to hoist operation.
• Owners and users are advised to examine specific, local or
other regulations, including American National Standards
Institute and/or OSHA Regulations, which may apply to a
particular type of use of this product, before installing or
putting hoist to use.
The SLB lever chain hoist can be used in any position provided it
is rigged to pull in a straight line from top hook to bottom hook.
• Each time a load is lifted, operation of load brake should be
checked by raising load slightly and stopping to ensure brake
will hold load before continuing to lift load.
7.03
The hoist body must be positioned so that it does not contact the
load or support members when in use. Ensure hand lever
movement is unrestricted.
When operating in limited areas suitable lifting attachments or
slings must be used to prevent hoist body and hand lever from
being obstructed.
• Ensure hoist top and bottom hooks are properly rigged and
hook latches are engaged, prior to use.
Initial Operating Checks
Operate hoist with a test load (10% of rated capacity) by raising
and lowering this load several times. Verify brake operation by
lowering same load to check load does not slip when lowering
stops.
OPERATION
The four most important aspects of hoist operation are:
1. Follow all safety instructions when operating hoist.
2. Allow only personnel trained in safety and operation of this
hoist to operate hoist.
3. Subject each hoist to a regular inspection and maintenance
procedure.
4. Be aware of hoist capacity and weight of load at all times.
(Dwg. MHP0830)
Familiarize operators and personnel responsible for hoist
installation and service with ASME B30.21 specifications and
this manual prior to placing unit into service. All requirements of
this specification, including testing should be met before
approving hoist for operation.
Positioning Unloaded Hook (Neutral Position)
Refer to Dwg. MHP0830 on page 4.
Check that chain stopper (54) is securely fastened in last link of
load chain anchor end. The load chain stopper is intended to
prevent load chain from becoming disengaged from hoist and is
not intended to support the load.
• The hoist is not designed or suitable for lifting, lowering or
moving persons. Never lift loads over people.

Lowering Load (DOWN Position - Payout)
WARNING
CAUTION
• Ensure load is properly seated in saddle of bottom hook.
In NEUTRAL “N” position hand lever does not engage ratchet
gear. The hand lever free-wheels until selector lever is shifted to
UP or DOWN position.
1. Set selector lever to NEUTRAL (center) position.
2. Turn free chain knob counterclockwise.
3. Grasp and pull one side of load chain or turn free knob until
desired hook location is achieved.
4. Connect hook to load. Pull anchor side of load chain or turn
free knob until chain slack is removed.
• Do not support or hang loads from load chain anchor end.
Brake may not hold load or operate correctly.
Lifting Load (UP Position - Haul-In)
Refer to Dwg. MHP0825 on page 5.
The following procedure assumes hoist is in NEUTRAL (center)
position and hook is attached to a load, but hoist is not supporting
the load.
1. Place selector lever in UP position.
2. Rotate free knob clockwise.
3. Pull anchor end of load chain until slack is removed.
4. Rotate (ratchet) hand lever in clockwise direction to raise
(haul-in) load.
• Ratchet may not engage and raise (haul-in) load until all
chain slack is removed and hoist is supporting load weight. If
hand lever movement does not produce lifting, apply tension
to anchor side of load chain while ratcheting until slack is
removed and hoist begins lifting load. If hoist does not operate
properly under load, remove load, inspect and repair hoist.
Refer to Dwg. MHP0825 on page 5.
• Do not continue lowering load after chain stopper has
contacted hoist body as damage may occur to hoist resulting in
a falling load which can cause severe injury, death or property
damage.
The following procedure assumes hoist selector lever is in UP
position, hoist is holding a load and the operator wants to lower
(payout) the load:
1. Place selector lever in DOWN position.
2. Rotate (ratchet) hand lever in counterclockwise direction to
lower (payout) load.
• To prevent injury or property damage always lower loads
until load chain becomes slack before shifting to NEUTRAL
position.
Storing the Hoist
1. Always store hoist in a no load condition.
2. Switch selector lever to NEUTRAL (center position).
3. Wipe off all dirt and water.
4. Oil the chain, hook pins and hook latch pins.
5. Hang in a dry place.
6. Before returning hoist to service follow instructions for
‘Hoists not in Regular Use’ in “INSPECTION” section.

INSPECTION
WARNING
Twisted
DO NOT USE
Normal
Can Be Used
• All new, altered or modified equipment should be inspected
and tested by personnel trained in safety, operation and
maintenance of this equipment to ensure safe operation at
rated specifications before placing equipment in service.
Frequent and periodic inspections should be performed on
equipment in regular service. Frequent inspections are visual
examinations performed by operators or service personnel and
include observations made during routine equipment operation.
Periodic inspections are thorough inspections conducted by
personnel trained in the safety, operation and maintenance of this
equipment. ASME B30.21 states inspection intervals depend
upon the nature of the critical components of the equipment and
severity of usage.
Careful inspection on a regular basis will reveal potentially
dangerous conditions while still in the early stages, allowing
corrective action to be taken before the condition becomes
dangerous.
Deficiencies revealed through inspection, or noted during
operation, must be reported to designated personnel trained in
safety, operation and maintenance of this equipment. A
determination as to whether a condition constitutes a safety
hazard must be decided, and the correction of noted safety
hazards accomplished and documented before placing equipment
in service.
Records and Reports
Inspection records, listing all points requiring periodic inspection
should be maintained for all load bearing equipment. Written
reports, based on severity of service, should be made on the
condition of critical parts as a method of documenting periodic
inspections. These reports should be dated, signed by the person
who performed the inspection, and kept on file where they are
readily available for review.
Load Chain Reports
1. OPERATION. Check for visual signs or abnormal noises
which could indicate a potential problem. Check chain feed
through hoist and on 6 ton units the hook idler sheave. If
chain binds, jumps or is excessively noisy or “clicks,” clean
and lubricate the chain. If problem persists, chain may have
to be replaced. Do not operate hoist until all problems have
been determined and corrected.
2. HOOKS. Check for wear or damage, increased throat width,
bent shank or twisting of hook. Replace hooks that exceed
the throat opening discard width (15%) shown in Table 1
(refer to Dwg. MHP0040 on page 6) or are twisted (refer to
Dwg. MHP0111 on page 6). If hook latch snaps past tip of
hook, hook is sprung and must be replaced. Check hooks
swivel easily and smoothly. Repair or lubricate as necessary.

Records should be maintained documenting the condition of load
chain removed from service as part of a long-range load chain
inspection program. Accurate records will establish a relationship
between visual observations noted during frequent inspections
and the actual condition of the load chain as determined by
periodic inspection methods.
Frequent Inspection
The lever chain hoist should be inspected at the beginning of each
shift. Visual inspections should also be conducted during regular
service for any damage or evidence of malfunction which appears
between regular inspections.
