IMPROPER OPERATION OF LOAD BINDERS CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR
DEATH.
* Never exceed
the Working Load Limit.
* Read the following
warnings, as well as the warnings on pages 3 and 4 and those at the
the beginning of the Fittings section (page 32).
* Do not operate the binder while you or anyone else is on the load.
You might slip or fall risking serious injury or death.
* When applying the binder, always position the load binder so the
handle is tightened in a downward manner. Failure to do
so may result in a sudden snapping back of the lever which might result
in serious injury or death.
* Load binders are designed to be tightened to the approximate Working
Load Limit by a substantial hand effort. Do not use a handle extension.
Extensions can severely damage the binder system and result in serious
injury or death.
* The operator should at all times use the load binder from a firm
standing position that will ensure protection for himself
as well as those in the immediate vicinity.
* Load binders
are a form of machinery and require periodic inspection and maintenance.
Inspect for wear, deformation, cracks, nicks or
gouges before using. Replace if damaged.
* Load binders
should be periodically lubricated to give optimum performance and
reduce friction losses.
* Consult the
U.S. Government Printing Office for the Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Regulations for additional important information,
specifically S 392.9 (relating to safe loading), S 393.100 (relating
to protection against shifting cargo) and S 393. 102 (relating
to strength securement systems). |

*
In releasing lever type binders, be sure no one is positioned to be
struck by the handle which may release suddenly.
* If there is a possibility
for a relaxation of the chain when the binder is in the
locked or "over center" position, the handle should be secured to
the binding chain by securely wrapping the loose end of
the chain around the handle. Whenever possible, secure
the handle down with a positive retaining method. |
