Lever Type Load Binders
* 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.

*
IMPROPER OPERATION OF LOAD BINDERS CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
* Never exceed the
Working Load Limit.
* 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). |
