Safety factors as shown are approximate. Working Load Limits must never be exceeded.
Worn Working Parts For safety, lt‐up accessories must be properly used and maintained. The liing hardware units shown in this handbook may be subject to wear, overloading, corrosion, deformaon, intenonal alteraon and other factors which may aff ect the hardware's Working Load Limit. All hardware units must be inspected regularly by the user to determine if they may be used at the rated Working Load Limit or removed from service. The frequency of inspecon depends upon factors such as frequency of use, period of use and environment. It shall be the responsibility of the user to set up a schedule to inspect liing hardware units for wear and to discard the parts when excessive wear is noted. Shop or Field Welding Welding of lt‐up accessories can be hazardous. Knowledge of materials, heat treatment and welding procedures is necessary for proper welding. Consult your local welding supply dealer for assistance in determining the required welding procedures. DO NOT WELD TO ANY CASTING unless approved by a qualified metallurgical engineer. Welding to iron casngs causes carbides and extreme brileness near the weld point and destroys most of the casng's load value. Since we cannot control either the workmanship or condions under which this work is done, Tilt Li Equipment cannot be responsible for any product altered in the field by Interchangeability Many of the products that Tilt Li Equipment manufactures and supplies are designed as a system for liing and bracing of lt‐up panels. Tilt Li Equipment cannot be certain that the components from systems supplied by other manufacturers are completely interchangeable with components supplied by Tilt Li Equipment. Used properly and in accordance with our Handbook instrucons, Tilt Li Equipment products have proven to be among the best designed and safest in the industry. Used improperly, or with components supplied by other manufacturers, the liing or bracing system may be rendered unsafe. NEVER MIX COMPONENTS from diff erent WLL‐rated systems unless specified by Tilt Li Equipment. Tilt Li Equipment reserves the right to alter product designs, dimensions and Working Load Limits at any me.

Engineering Services
Many of the products used for successful construcon with precast concrete require competent engineering input for each specific applicaon and project. The Naonal Code of Pracce for Precast, Tilt‐Up and Concrete Elements in Building Construcon and current Workplace Health & Safety legislaon places significant safety‐based obligaons on designers, manufacturers, suppliers and installers of precast concrete and accessory products. Addional engineering guidance and requirements are detailed in AS3850. Tilt Li Equipment employs Professional Engineers to do engineering and provide engineering service to customers, parcularly with regard to safe liing and bracing of precast and lt‐up elements. Tilt Li also contributes at industry and technical levels via Naonal Precast Concrete Associaon Australia, Concrete Instute Australia, Standards Australia and others. TLE services Include: Consultaon / Recommendaons Panel Liing & Erecon Details Bracing Requirements Addional liing reinforcement, if required Strongback requirements, if required
Number of Inserts
To simplify calculaons, inserts for lt–up panels may be selected according to the following criteria: Face Liing: Panel weight with sucon forces added, divided by number of inserts must not exceed the inserts’ Working Load Limit shown in this manual. Edge Liing: 65% of panel weight mulplied by the sucon coefficient divided by the number of inserts must not exceed the edge liers’ shear Working Load Limit. Also panel weight divided by the number of inserts must not exceed the Working Load Limit of the insert. Impact Loading: Typically the impact loading of a panel is 20% higher then the panel’s dead weight. Note that the impact loading may be significantly higher if the panel is to be “walked” to its posion. Engineers should take this into account when designing the li for a panel like this. Sucon Load: AS3850 states that a MINIMUM sucon load of 50% should be used when liing off from a concrete casng bed.
Note: The impact and sucon loads are not cumulave. Usually, more than the above consideraons are required in order to not to overstress the panel.

Safety Factors Tilt Li Equipment recommends the following minimum safety factors idenfied by AS3850. Tilt‐up construcon may require addional safety consideraons. Many field condions may warrant higher safety factors, eg. adhesion of the panel to the casng surface, jerking the crane during li, inadequate crane size, improper handling of an erected panel, transporng an erected panel over rough surfaces, exceeding boom capacity, etc. The minimum safety factors listed below should be adjusted accordingly when any of the above condions are known to exist.

Panel‐Erecon Problem Areas
The Precast & Tilt-Up Experts
Field Condions, Equipment & Panel Sizes
Become familiar with field condions and equipment available for the lt‐up project. Actual crane capacity depends on crane locaon, panel weight and the panel’s centre of li. For rigging and liing efficiency, Tilt Li Equipment recommends that for panel heights < 7.5 m panel widths should be < 10.5 m. For panel heights > 7.5 m widths should be < 6.0m.
Panel Openings
Posion openings in the centre of the panel. If this is not possible, maintain a 600mm leg of concrete. Less than 600mm of concrete will usually require a strongback.
Foong Heights
When foong heights vary, always keep the boom of the panel horizontal. (See Fig.1) Avoid panel designs similar to figures 2 & 3. Designs such as these will require strongbacks and/or special handling to prevent panel twisng and spalling.
Headers
Avoid panel designs that have large centre of gravity shis. If a header is required, the example on the right is the preferred design.

The Precast & Tilt-Up Experts
Erecon Design Engineer & Bracing The Naonal Code of Pracce for Precast, Tilt ‐Up and Concrete Elements in Building Construcon (NCoP) is now the peak
regulatory document governing design and construcon pracce for precast and lt‐up in Australia. It supplements the technical Prefabricated provisions of AS3850 Concrete Elements. Tilt Li can assist with any enquiries about these industry guidance resources.
An essenal direcon of the NCoP is seng the standard for engaging adequate engineering input for construcng with precast concrete. The role of the required Erecon Design Engineer (EDE) is detailed and includes responsibility for correct applicaon of engineering controls for the liing and bracing of precast panels and other elements.
Tilt Li is an acve member of the NPCAA (Naonal Precast Concrete Associaon Australia) which has published this arcle at right in its quarterly magazine Na onal Precaster No.63 (Feb 2012). The mandated role of the EDE in relaon to the engineering of bracing soluons and systems is clear. Tilt Li can supply all engineering support for approval by the EDE including fully compliant braces and accessories.

Panel Erecon Informaon The Precast & Tilt-Up Experts
Rigging and the Crane General The most important phase during the construcon of a lt up building is the erecon of the wall panels. It is extremely important for the designers and contractors to plan and replan this poron of the job. They should direct their eff orts to ensure that this important phase of construcon is performed safely and efficiently. Since there must be a close, cooperave relaonship between the panel contractor and the erecon subcontractor, it is advisable to select an erecon sub–contractor during the early days of the project. The erecon sub–contractor and crew should be well experienced in lt–up, as pan‐ el lng and handling is a very specialised skill.
Prior To Construcon Prior to the actual start of construcon, an inspecon of the site should be made by the contractor. The locaon of the job site may be such that special permits will be required to gain access to the site for heavy equipment such as the crane. These projects are usually built in residenal areas where weight and size restricons may exist. It is advisable for the contractor to invesgate restricons on early daily start–up mes. Many areas have noise abatement and dust control regu‐ laons. Also, the panel contractor and erecon contractor should walk the site and determine a suitable locaon for the crane assembly and rigging make –up. Some local governments will not allow this acvity on public streets. It is also advisable that any problems with uneven terrain be noted at this me and dealt with prior to bringing the crane onto the jobsite. The panel contractor and the erecon contractor should always agree on a locaon for both the crane entrance onto the floor slab as well as the exit ramp off the floor slab. If necessary, plans should be made to thicken the floor slab at these ramp locaons so the crane weight will not damage the edge of the slab. Underground tunnels, trenches and sewer lines are a very common occurrence and can create problems. It is necessary to know the locaon of these un‐ derground hazards and to avoid those that may need strengthening in order to support the crane's weight. We have oen found that the locaon of these underground hazards is not always noted on the architect/engineer's plans. Further invesgaon by the panel contractor should be made in an eff ort to discover these types of unknown hazards. Overhead electric or telephone wires can be a common problem on both urban and rural job sites. It may be necessary to shut off the power in some over‐ head wires in order to safely operate the crane during panel erecon. Safety regulaons dictate that cranes will keep a minimum distance from power‐ lines. The quality of the floor slab on a lt–up project cannot be over emphasized due to the heavy weights that the slab will be expected to support early in its life. Equally as important as the slab, is the sub–base under the floor slab. When it comes to supporng the combined weight of the crane and lted panel, the floor slab is no beer than its sub–base. Even a thick, properly engineered floor slab with two layers of reinforcing steel will not support the weight of the crane if the sub base is unstable. To insure an efficient construcon procedure, careful consideraon must be given to the casng locaon of the panels. The following two important criteria must be met if the contractor expects to have a successful project: Panels must be located for efficient CASTING. Panels must be located for efficient and safe LIFTING. The panel contractor should work with the erecon subcontractor in developing the panel casng layout. The erector's advice should be sought so that the panels are cast in such a posion that a properly sized crane can safely reach and erect them. Crane selecon should not be looked on as merely roune. General rules for sizing the crane state that the crane capacity should be a minimum of two to three mes that of the heaviest panel including the weight of the rigging gear. However, in the final analysis not only the panel weight, but also the crane's posion relave to the panel must be considered. The following quesons must be answered before final determinaon of crane size can be es‐ tablished: How far must the crane reach to li the panel? How far will the crane have to reach to set the panel?
Crane Cerficaon The crane that is finally selected for the project should be property cerfied. In addion too the commonwealth standards many, if not all states have standards with which erecon sub–contractors must comply. Prudent contractors make certain they have available at the jobsite documentaon aesng to the crane's cerficaon. The contractor should also obtain a cerficate of liability insurance from the erecon sub–contractor.
Site Inspecon Aer the panels are cast and cured, the panel contractor, erecon sub–contractor, and the accessory supplier should again walk the site. The terrain upon which the crane will travel should be inspected and any further correcons noted. Correcve acons shall be taken prior to erecon of the panels. Entrance and exit ramps should be checked. The entrance ramp should be built up so the crane descends slightly down onto the slab instead of crawl‐ ing up onto it. The exit ramp should be built in the same manner. On some buildings, architectural openings are large enough for the crane to exit. In any case, do not let the crane's weight bear at the extreme edge of the slab. This is of parcular importance if the crane is walking out with the added weight of the closure panel.

Panel Erecon Informaon
The Precast & Tilt-Up Experts
Equipment & Crew
The panel contractor and the erecon contractor must itemise the rigging and equipment that will be needed for a prop‐ er and safe li. This booklet contains specificaon on rigging configuraon and cable lengths, please note that occasionally the liing design engineer will specify a diff erent set off cable lengths for a parcular panel or set off panels. These details should be rigidly adhered to, since they are an integral part of the erecon stress calculaons. TILT–LIFT EQUIPMENT DOES NOT SPECIFY THE DIAMETER OR SAFE WORKING LOAD OF THE CABLE as this is the responsi‐ bility of the erecon contractor. The panel contractor should also make a list of required tools. The list should include, but not be limited to, correct number of liing clutches, expansion bolts, a compressor, drills, wrenches, ladders and mis‐ cellaneous hand tools. It is also prudent to ancipate material needs for last minute repairs. If a delay is caused for any reason, down me can add up rapidly. The panel contractor should provide a clean working area with all obstacles removed. Members of the erecon crew will be guiding a panel while it is being moved from the casng locaon to its posion in the structure. Most of the me these crew members will be looking up at the rigging and inserts. They should not be tripping over loose debris and tools. The erecon contractor's minimum crew should consist of the crane operator, rigger foreman, and two qualified riggers. This crew should be augmented, as required, by carpenters and labourers from the panel contractor's work force, primarily to handle braces. In areas of the country where no erecon contractors are available, the minimum crew should consist of crane operator, qualified foreman and four to five labourers. An excepon to this would be with stacked panels which re‐ quire an addional two to three labourers. Consideraon should also be given to having a welder standing by. A properly staff ed and well coordinated erection crew is the key to successful liing. The crane operator must be a qualified and experienced in handling lt–up panels. He must be able to control three mo‐ ons of his crane: hoist, swing and boom hoist. It is quite normal to use all three of these funcons simultaneously.
Day of Erecon A safety meeng with full crew should be held before any liing starts. Personnel should be told to never place themselves under the panel while it is being lted or on the blind side of the panel when the crane is travelling with it. The crew should be told to never get be‐ tween the crane and the panel. A conscienous erecon contractor will always advise his crew that horseplay or unnecessary talking will not be allowed. A standard part of the safety meeng, which is normally conducted by the rigger foreman, should contain comments about the need to remain alert. Each person's safety depends on the safe pracces of others. The crew should be reminded that safety is everyone's re‐ sponsibility and that hard hats, high visibility vest and any other personal protecon equipment that are required. It is advisable for the erecon contractor to create a safety check list and have the crew members sign it at the end of the safety meeng. The rigger foreman should be clearly idenfied at the safety meeng. This individual will be the one the crane operator will be looking to for all signals. The rigger foreman must be experienced with handling panels and be totally familiar with the precise set of hand and arm signals. This will safely communicate his desires to the crane operator. Verbal instrucons are all but impossible due to the noise level in the operator's cab. A competent rigger foreman will create and maintain a confident atmosphere during the li. He will always remain alert to guard against overconfidence, and will not allow the crew to become careless. During the safety meeng the rigger foreman should demonstrate the proper use of the liing hardware, bracing hardware and the proper way to hold a brace and how to use any necessary tools and equipment. If the crane is using rolling outriggers a warning to the crew to stay clear is in order. The crew should be broken up into teams for handling bracing, rigging, and hardware aachment. Each individual's funcon and re‐ sponsibility should be clearly defined.

Panel Erecon Informaon
The Precast & Tilt-Up Experts
The panel contractor should furnish an individual whose responsibility it is to clean the floor slab casng locaon as soon as the crane has lied a panel and cleared the area. Regardless of how good a contractor's housekeeping is prior to the li, there is always a certain amount of debris le behind. This individual should also make certain that all leover forming nails are pulled from the slab. The rigging details furnished by Tilt‐Li Equipment in the erecon instrucons are not merely simple guidelines from which the erector can stray. THE RIGGING DETAILS DEFINE THE PROPER RIGGING FOR EACH PANEL FOR THE ERECTOR. Spreader bar widths and cable angles are integral parts of the erecon stress analysis. Proper cable lengths are important to the success of the li. The use of cables that are shorter than the prescribed length will increase stresses in the panel and could cause the panel to crack. If an erector has a problem with rigging details or cable lengths, as they are shown in the erecon instrucons, he should not take it upon himself to change them. In‐ stead, a call should be made to the technical service centre from which the erecon instrucons originated. An alternate soluon may be worked out depending on the individual situaon. Extra precauons should be taken when liing panels with special shapes or special rigging. The erecon instrucons should be consulted for CAU‐ TIONARY NOTES as to how a panel might act during liing, and to again verify the rigging and the insert locaons.
During the Li‐ Precauons Wind condions must be considered prior to liing a panel. A 40 tonne panel will easily move in a slight breeze when hanging from a crane. All spectators should be kept well away from the li and not allowed to interfere with the proceedings. Panels should be inspected prior to liing for any reinforcing steel and/or ledgers that may be projecng beyond the panel edges that will create interference when the panel is being plumbed next to a previously erected panel. This happens most oen at corners. Aer all aachments are made to the panel, and as the rigging is being raised to take the slack out of the cables, but prior to inial loading of the inserts, all rigging gear must be inspected for proper alignment and be free of snags. If non swivel type sheaves are used, make certain the sheaves are properly aligned. As cables are being tensioned, they invariably tend to twist and possibly rotate the liing hardware causing side loading on the hardware. The rigger foreman should be alert for this condion and if it does happen, SHOULD HALT THE LIFT AND REALIGN THE HARDWARE. It is the rigger foreman's responsibility to be alert to all obstacles in the path of the crane and crew. He should be alert for panels that may be stuck to the casng surface. Under such condions, loads transferred to the liing inserts could be more than doubled causing possible insert failure. Carefully posioned. pry bars and wedges can oen be successful in helping the crane release the panel from the casng surface. Any wedges that are applied to help release the panel should be posioned at the insert lines. Braces are almost always aached to the panel prior to liing. Cauon must be taken to be certain the braces will not be trapped by the rigging when the panel is in the upright posion.
Plumbing the Panels— Precau ons Be alert when plumbing panels to their final upright posion. Cauon must be taken to make certain the panel being plumbed does not strike a previously erected panel. All personnel should be cleared of those crical areas around a panel when plumbing is being done. If the panel being plumbed is a closure panel, measurements should be taken prior to liing to make certain the panel will fit. Tilt–up panels should be as plumb as possible prior to aaching the brace to the floor aachment anchor. Temporary out–of–plumb SHOULD NOT EXCEED 100 mm measured at the top of the panel. It is generally more praccal to "fine tune" the panel plumbness with the pipe braces aer the li is completed. There are two commonly occurring condions that dictate that the panels be braced perfectly plumb prior to releasing the crane: 1 ) If the panel is going to support an adjacent spandrel or lintel panel, the supporng panel should be in an accurate final posion to prevent having to adjust it later when it is supporng another panel. 2) If the bracing design calls for a sub support system of knee, lateral, and end or cross bracing, then the panel should be accurately plumbed prior to aaching the sub support system. Panels requiring sub support systems must not be plumbed later as the brace sub sup‐ port system, if not removed, must be at least loosened in order to adjust the main brace, thus placing the panel in a dangerous posion.
Bracing Do not release the crane load if, for any reason, the bracing does not appear adequate. Crane loads should always be released slowly, keep‐ ing an eye on the panel and bracing for any unusual acvity. For knee and lateral bracing it is desirable that all bracing components be com‐ pletely installed before releasing the crane. That is, all knee, lateral, and end or cross bracing, if required, be in place. However, this is not al‐ ways possible. You should always be able to install the knee bracing, however, the crane's posion near the panel may prevent the lateral brac‐ ing from being aached. Once the crane is clear of the area, the panel contractor must complete the lateral and end or cross bracing. He must complete this phase of the bracing while remaining no more than one panel behind the erecon crew. All bracing should be completed on all erected panels at the end of the work day. March 2012

Rigging Set‐up The Precast & Tilt-Up Experts
The following diagrams show various types of rigging configuraons, although a 3 row li has been shown here, it is recom‐ mended by both Tilt‐Li Equipment and Australian Standards 3850 to be avoided whenever possible due to the complex rig‐ ging that is involved; the difficultly in rigging these kind of panels can be seen in the diagram below. Unless otherwise speci‐ fied on liing design drawings, the following rigging configuraons should always be used. Contractors must always use cen‐ tre pick style spreader beams, as shown in the diagrams, as well as sheaves as required. This is to ensure that all liers are loaded equally and that the panel will correctly rotate as the panel is been lied. This is parcularly important on panels where liers have been off set from each other. The following rigging setups represents those setups which will be used most of the me, very rarely for complicated panels the rigging setup may vary slightly, in these cases the liing engineer will indicate the type of rigging on the liing design drawing. For panels that are edge lied the rigging setup is the same as for R‐11, R‐12 or R‐14.

The Precast & Tilt-Up Experts
Minimum sling lengths are also shown on the diagram below, although only 2 across setups have been shown below these lengths apply if the rigging setup is 1, 2, 4 or 8 across. Please note that the liing design engineer may specify diff erent length slings for any panel or any set panels and it is extremely important that those specificaons are adhered to.
It is important that both the correct rigging configuraon and sling lengths are used when liing lt up panels. Failure do to so may result in liers been unequally loaded, meaning that the panel may not rotate correctly and/or a lier may fail. Sling lengths are extremely important in calculang the stresses in a panel, as such the use of a sling that is too short will result in stresses that are higher then calculated and potenally cause cracking of the panel during the liing process.

Strongbacks
The Precast & Tilt-Up Experts
When large openings are required in panels, they will nor‐ mally create extreme bending stresses in the remaining con‐ crete secons. The purpose of strong backs is to increase the sff ness of the panel, thus reducing the bending stress‐ es. Internal reinforcing steel can oen be used by applying normal reinforced concrete design techniques. Another efficient and economical method of strongbacking is external wood, aluminium or steel beams, as they provide greater secon modulus to resist bending. Aer a panel has been erected, the strongbacks are normally no longer re‐ quired and may be removed and used on other panels. Tilt‐Li Equipment’s technical Service Department will se‐ lect the proper type of strong back insert, size and number of strongbacks as well as locaons of strong‐ backs on jobs submied for detailing. Tilt‐Li Equipment offices have RMD slim shores which are available for use as strongbacks, these have a capacity to withstand 36 kNm bending moment for those that are a complete unit and 18 kNm if two are joined together. They are available in 1.8 and 3.6 metres long, they can be joined together to make any combinaon length of those sizes. Other sizes are available directly from RMD. The strong‐ backs are bolt to the panels using T‐6‐A’s and 19mm coil bolts.
Strongback ‐ Shore The strongback‐shore system is used to reduce stresses during the liing process and stabilize the panel during and aer erecon. Generally, this system should be ulized on panels where an off set opening is equal to or greater than 1/2 the panel width. The concrete leg secon must be checked for stresses to determine if addional reinforcing steel or strong‐ backs are needed. Strongback size should be of sufficient width and depth to car‐ ry erecon loads and consist of material strong enough to withstand repeated use. The shore depth should be the same nominal size as the panel thickness, i.e., a 150 mm panel would require a 100mm x 150mm or 150mm x 150mm shore.

T–75 Emergency Liing Plate
The Precast & Tilt-Up Experts
Insert the assembled Powerbolt, with square washer (65 x 65 x 5 mm, hole should be no bigger then 22 mm), through the holes in the li plate into properly drilled and cleaned holes. Using a hammer, tap the bolt all the way into the hole so that the washer and bolt head comes to rest on the top surface of the li plate. Tighten the Powerbolt using a torque wrench, the bolts must ghtened to a torque of 160 Nm. Use the crane to place a light load onto the li plate. Release the load and check all bolts to make certain they are sll ghtened to 160 Nm. Bolts that have a lower torque value will have a reduced load carry‐ ing capacity. The working load limits (WLL) of these power bolts and The T–75 Emergency Liing Plate is designed and tested li plate are shown below. The working load limits are deter‐ for use as an emergency repair li plate in special situaons mined by panel thickness and the number of powerbolts actu‐ where a normal cast–in–place lt–up face pickup insert is missing, ally used to aach the li plate to the lt–up panel. pped over, improperly located or otherwise unusable. The li plate is to be installed so that it is centred over the original insert locaon. When the li plate cannot be installed at the original insert locaon, contact Tilt–Li Equipment. When installing the T–75 Emergency Liing plate, always check to make certain the liing lug is aligned in the direcon of the cables. DO NOT apply loads at an angle to the flat side of the liing lug! The T–75 Emergency Liing Plate is to be aached to the face of the precast concrete lt–up wall panel using either four or six properly installed Power Bolts. Bolts must be ghtened to a torque of 160 Nm. Ensure appropriate sized washers are used. Minimum edge distance from each of the anchor bolts is 240 mm. Edge distances of less than 240 mm may result in a reduced liing capacity. Using compressed air, just before installaon of the Pow‐ erbolt, clean out all of the drilled holes. Failure to properly clean the holes may result in a reduced li plate load carrying capacity.

T‐14 Precast Panel Brace
The Precast & Tilt-Up Experts
The Tilt Li Equipment Precast Panel Brace is a me tested accessory which has become the standard in panel construcon. Its proper re‐ laon of strength to weight permits ease of handling while providing a rugged brace which is easily adjusted. In compliance with AS3850 and the Naonal Code of Pracce for Precast, Tilt‐Up and Concrete Elements in Building Construcon (NCoP) each model of Tilt Li brace has been test‐rated for load / extension performance and carries an appropriate rang plate. The panel brace is aached to the panel before lng by means of a 19mm diameter coil bolt threaded into the brace anchor. When the panel is lted into its final posion, the floor bracket is normally bolted to the floor slab with a M20 x 133 powerbolt. Good construcon pracces dictate the use of a spring washer under the head of any coil bolts. A sloed hole on the floor and wall base plate provides easy aachment and has raised stops to prevent the brace from sliding sideways once the coil bolts have been ghtened. The slot on the standard brace foot is 20 mm wide, brace feet can be swap over with brace feet that have a slot that is 24mm wide, if a bolt that can gain a higher load is required. Both brackets remain flat at all mes as pivong acon is provided in both the floor and wall brackets. Aer the panel is lted to the approximate vercal posion, Tilt Li Equipment’s Panel Brace is used to align and hold the panel unl it is permanently anchored by further construcon. The floor bracket of Tilt Li Equipment’s pipe brace hardware is aached to a 38 mm diameter threaded rod. This galvanised threaded rod has a 3.5 mm contour threads to the inch that are fast and non–clogging. A weld spot at the top of the threaded adjusng rod pre‐ vents accidental removal. Tilt–Up braces are designed for use only in connecon with bracing lt–up precast concrete construcon against wind loads. Due to the problems involved in bracing masonry walls, Tilt–Li Equipment assumes no responsibility if braces are used to support concrete block, brick or other masonry. The telescoping pipe braces can be rough adjusted in increments of 150 mm by aligning the pin holes in the two pipes. Finer adjustments can be aained by simply rotang the enre pipe assembly clockwise or counter clockwise as required. Ease of rotaon is guaranteed by the ball bearing coupler aached to the pipe brace at the wall bracket. Due to circumstances beyond Tilt–Li Equipment’s control maxi‐ mum brace lengths and styles may vary slightly from locaon to locaon. It is good construcon pracce to consider the Brace Foot working length of pipe braces to be 150 mm more then mini‐ mum length and 150 mm less then the maximum length. Ball Bearing Coupler
Shear Pin The various safety authories around Australia vary in what they consider is an acceptable method to prevent the shear pin from accidental dislodgement. In some cases as risk analy‐ sis may need to be carried out by the contractors to deter‐ mine which method can be used. Tilt‐Li Equipment recom‐ mends the use of the lockable shear pin for bracings, these pins have a lock that can only be opened with a key. This method is currently accepted by all of the worksafe authori‐ es and in our opinion is the safest of the currently available opons. Tilt‐Li Equipment also has available the use of normal shear pins, that can be refrained using a variety of methods. Local contractors should contact there local worksafe authories to find out which method is acceptable. The contractor should also carry out a risk assessment in accordance with OH&S guidelines and regulaons to see if this method is safe to use on any given worksite. Precauons must also be taken to en‐ sure that any nails or R‐clips do not become a safety hazard on site.
Shear Pin Danger! See notes Telescoping Pipes Adjusting Screw Brace Foot
Tilt–Li Equipment Tilt–Up pipe braces are for the sole purpose of bracing the lt–up panel in the fully erected posion against wind loads only. Braces are not to be used as props in the support of concrete formwork, or panels that have an earth load applied too them, braces are not designed to sustain high dead loads. Bracing anchors and braces are not designed to sustain impact loads. Precauon must be taken to arrange the panel erecon se‐ quence so as to avoid the potenal for impacng panels or braces. Bracing recommendaons for other loads or forces that might be ap‐ plied to brace anchors and braces are beyond the scope of Tilt–Li Equipment. March 2012

T‐14 Precast Panel Brace The Precast & Tilt-Up Experts
Brace design must be carried out on each project to ensure that the braces being used will be within their Working Load Limit. Many fac‐ tors need to be considered when calculang which brace is required. The “Whatever Length Will Fit” approach is not acceptable. If draw‐ ings are not available showing bracing design Tilt‐Li Equipment can provide such as service.
The factors that need to be considered for each panel:
• • • • • • • • •
Panel Area Wind Terrain Category of Project Design Wind Speed Height of Panel Centre of Surface Area of the Panel Angle of Brace Length of Brace
Number of Braces per Panel Floor Height/ Deadmen Height
Danger! Bracing must be installed 90° ± 5° to plane of panel
or brace safe working load will be greatly reduced.
Danger! For safety, and unless specifically designed otherwise, all braces must be installed at least 600 mm above the panels centre of gravity. Brace loca‐ ons other than those shown
may reduce the braces SWL drascally. Brace angles over 60° from the horizontal result in poor mechanical advantage and excessive vercal kick, while brace angles under 50° decrease brace buckling strength due to greater length and excessive sag.
Brace Anchor Locaon The locaon of both brace anchors is crical in determining the loads that are applied to any brace system. Shop drawings will most of me will show the locaon of the wall panel cast in brace point. However just as important as the locaon of this point is the locaon of the floor brace point. This will normally be indicated on the draw‐ ing or perhaps another engineering sheet. On Tilt‐Li Equipment bracing designs it is located in the lower le corner known as the “F” measurement. In our experience this measurement is overlooked by many panel erectors. This measurement is important because it de‐ termines three things: 1. The brace load 2. The brace length 3. The load that is been applied to floor brace anchor. If this brace point is too close the panel it will increase the brace load as well as the tension load applied to the floor brace point. Possible taking either one beyond their working load limit, too far away from the panel increases the brace length, as the brace gets long‐ er it also reduces its working load limit, once again it could potenally take the applied load beyond its working limit. As such the distance out should always be remember when bolng down the braces. Floor brace locaons should always be within 150mm of the distance out shown by the appropriate engineering drawing. The braces must always be within 5 degrees of perpendicular of the panel, as shown in the plan view drawing above. Without knee brace means that brace type can be adjusted for various lengths of "B" shown, and brace may be used without knee, lateral or end bracing. With knee brace means that brace type can be adjusted for various lengths of "B" shown and requires the use of knee, lateral and end bracing to obtain the WLL. “B” = Brace Length

Knee, Lateral and End Bracing
The Precast & Tilt-Up Experts
WARNING! IT IS COMMON TO REFER TO THE SECONDARY BRACING SUPPORT SYSTEM OF THE MAIN PIPE BRACES AS KNEE BRACING. HOWEVER, THE USER IS TO BE AWARE THAT WHEN KNEE BRACING IS REQUIRED, IT MEANS THAT LATERAL BRACING AND END BRACING MUST ALSO BE INCLUDED. THIS SECONDARY BRACING SUPPORT SYSTEM IS NEEDED TO REDUCE THE BUCKLING LENGTH OF THE MAIN PIPE BRACES AND MUST HAVE FIRM CONNECTIONS AT ALL POINTS. BOTH THE KNEE BRACE AND THE END BRACE MUST BE CONNECTED AT ITS BOTTOM END.
In order to properly strengthen the main pipe brace, knee bracing, lateral bracing and end must be installed at the midpoint of the main pipe brace. All these components are crical for the brace to develop its full working load. Tilt‐li Equipment designates its sec‐ ondary bracing system as K1 or K2, K1 represents a B1 to be used as the knee brace while K2 means a B2 is used. K0 means that no knee, lateral or end bracing is required.
Knee Bracing The knee brace is a B1 or B2 pipe brace with a Knee Bracket Aached. The knee brace must be installed inline with the main brace (looking at the face of the panel). Looking at the bracing from the side the knee brace must be installed at a 90º ±15º to the main brace (see diagram to right). Foot should be bolted to panel with a T–6–A, Ferrule or expansion bolt, such as the M20 power bolt.
Lateral Bracing All mber connecons must be 100 x 50 F8 seasoned mber (with a minimum joint group of JD3)*, that is free of all cracks, splits and oth‐ er defects. Lateral bracing should be aached to the knee brace bracket with two nails 3.75 x 50. (Preferably duplex nails so they are easier to re‐ move). Each nail should be 20 mm from the edge of the mber. Overlapping secons of mber in the lateral bracing must overlap by a minimum of 500 mm. 4 nails 3.75 x 100 should be used to nail the two secons of lateral bracing together. Each nail must 100 mm apart and the last nail must 100 mm from the end of the mber. *Any type of seasoned mber can be used for lateral bracing on the condion it is listed as JD1, JD2 or JD3 in Australian Standards AS 1702.2 and has a stress grade of at least F8. Distance between each brace when running lateral bracing between them should be no more then 2 meters. If the distance is over two meters then an end brace should be installed on each of those braces. Sca ff olding pipe connected to the main brace with the appropriate size swivel couplers is an acceptable alterna ve to mber lateral brac‐ ing, the end bracing must s ll be installed as per speci fi ca ons.
All lateral bracing must be supplied by contractor. March 2012

End Bracing The Precast & Tilt-Up Experts
The end bracing is the same as the Knee bracing a B1, B2 or mini brace is used with a knee bracket aached to one end of the end brace. The knee bracket is installed around the main brace , the other end of the end brace is bolted to either the ground or if there is a corner panel it can be bolted to the corner panel. Looking at the face of the panel the end brace must be installed between 30º to 90º to the main brace. Looking from above, the end bracing should be at 90º ± 15º. End bracing must be installed every 35 meters and at each end of the lateral bracing to prevent lateral movement and to provide total brace stability.

Note: End braces to ground and/or cross braces must be installed eve‐ ry 35 meters and at the ends of lateral bracing to prevent lateral movement of braces and to provide total brace stability.
Cross Bracing Cross bracing is an acceptable alternave to lateral bracing and end bracing. This method system provides stability when the erecon se‐ quence dictates the there are no adjacent panels that would make connuous lateral bracing possible. Using a 73 mm diameter rounded U–bolts (Thread M12). Aach a small piece a 350 long piece of 50 x 100 F8 Timber to the braces at the height specified in the diagram le. Then nail the cross bracing members to these small pieces of mbers using two 3.75 x 100 nails. Nails must be at least 20 mm from the edge of the mber and at least 100 mm from the ends of the mbers. The nails should also be at least 20 mm apart. If cross bracing is used it must supplied by contractor. *Any type of seasoned mber can be used for lateral bracing on the condion it is listed as JD1, JD2 or JD3 in Australian Standards AS 1720.2 and has a stress grade of at least F8.
Danger! Aer winds of 7m/s (25 km/h) or more have been experienced at the job site, the lt–up contractor must check the ghtness of the bolts that secure the wall and foot plates to the concrete. Reghtening of such bolts to the proper torque will assure that the pipe braces are secure. Danger! Tilt–Up braces are designed to resist a specific wind load only. Do not remove or release any part of the brace sup‐ port system unl the panel has been permanently anchored. Premature removal of bracing may result in a panel falling with serious injury or death to workers in the vicinity of the job site. Warning! Main pipe braces must installed 90° ± 5° to plane of panel or brace safe working load will be drascally reduced. Panel stability may be jeopardised when braces are skewed. March 2012

Corner Bracing
The Precast & Tilt-Up Experts
The proper method of bracing corner panels shown above. Aachment of braces to deadmen in the leave–out area allows the braces to be properly located without having to skew the braces for aachment to the floor slab. Corner brace lengths must be adjusted to eliminate pipe interference. Warning! Panel must be secured at the boom, to prevent the panel from “walking” off the panel foong in gusty condions and to pre‐ vent extremely strong winds or construcon loads from kick out the boom of the panel.
Point Summary of Bracing Installaon
Install braces perpendicular to panel face. Always check distance out or “F” measurement Panel should be plumb with braces and knee brac‐ es installed before crane releases panel. Lateral bracing should be install as soon as crane and crew are clear and should not be more than one panel behind the last panel erected. Lateral bracing must be connuous, connected at each brace, and ed off with end brace at the end of each line or at 35 meters. All members of the brace system must always be in place and secured at the end of each day. Knee and lateral bracing must be located at mid‐ length of pipe brace. Panels requires a minimum of two braces per pan‐ el. Do not erect panels or connue working during ex‐ cessive windy or adverse weather condions All braces inserts should a minimum of 300 mm from any panel edge, opening, control joint or con‐ strucon joint. Panel bracing is designed to withstand specified wind loads unl panels are connected to the struc‐ tural system of the building do not remove any

members of the brace system unl all structural members of the building are completed. Use only the brace type specified. No substute brace hardware shall be used and all braces must be posioned at the specified locaons. Knee and end bracing must firmly aached at each end prevent buckling of main braces. Panel bracing is designed to withstand specified wind loads unl panels are incorporated into the structural system of the building. Welding or bolng the precast or lt–up elements in place might preclude the uses of braces. T–14 Tilt–up braces are not recommended for bracing concrete block, brick or other types of ma‐ sonry. DO NOT allow earth loads to be applied to panels that are been support by braces Always use bracing connecons as specified. For special condions contact Tilt–Li Equipment for recommendaons.

B‐14 Coil Bolts
The Precast & Tilt-Up Experts
Tilt–Li Equipment supplies two diff erent types of coil bolts, one is used for the F–44 coil ferrule and the other is used for the hexical type brace inserts such as the T–6–A and the T–4. They are easily disnguishable from each other by a number of factors. The coil bolts used for the coil ferrule is a silver zinc plated bolt it has a threaded length of 75 mm, as well as a flanged head. The coil bolt for the T–6–A is a black bolt, has a threaded length of 90 mm and does not have a flanged head. The silver bolt should never be used in a T–6–A or a T–4 as it does not have adequate engagement for this type of insert .Before each use bolts should be measured to ensure they have not been shortened and that there length is adequate to ensure it achieves the correct engagement length. The B–14 coil bolt is designed so that in can be reused on a number of occasions and is easy to install and remove. B–14 Coil bolts have a fast–acng, self–cleaning coil thread and has a diameter of 19 mm. The bolts may be reused – but will wear and must be regularly inspected. Must be kept clean and lubricated. Minimum coil penetraon shown in the charts below must strictly ad‐ hered to on all wire coil products. Minimum coil penetraon values represent the bolts minimum pene‐ traon through the T–6–A, T–4 etc, from the top of the device as shown in the next figure. The distance from the top coil to the concrete should be taken into account into account.

Inspection and Maintenance of Ring Clutch
The Precast & Tilt-Up Experts
The P-833 Ring Clutch may be subject to wear, misuse, overloading and many other factors that may affect a Ring Clutch’s working load limit. The users must establish a program for inspection of their Ring Clutches based on their frequency of use. Inspections should consist of the following: Determine the general overall condition and wear. Make certain the bail can rotate freely in all directions. If evidence of heat application is found, the clutch must be destroyed. Check for bent or twisted bails. Check for worn or bent curved bolt. Check for worn or deformed main clutch body. Check for enlarged engagement slot.
During inspection of the clutch body, if engagement is found to exceed W, remove the clutch from service and destroy it.

P–53 Eye Anchor
The Precast & Tilt-Up Experts
The Tilt‐Li Equipment SL Eye Anchor (P‐53) is similar to the P‐52 anchor but has an eye at the foot to accept P‐60 Tension Bars. The P‐53 anchor is used primarily in thin secons, thin panels of lightweight concrete or shapes that must be handled at concrete compressive strengths as low as 15 MPa. P‐53 anchors are available in 1.3, 2.5, 5, 10 and 20‐ton capacies and each has its load rang embossed on the head.
P–53 SL Eye Anchor for Liing & Handling The P–53 SL Liing Eye Anchor is designed for use with a P‐60 Tension reinforcing bar to be placed through the eye of the anchor. This combinaon of P–53 SL Eye Anchor and P–60 Rebar is an excellent system to use for seng precast columns and thin narrow walls into posion. The eye anchor is designed so that the total anchor force is transferred into the con‐ crete via a reinforcement bar. The reinforcement bar is to be installed so that it is firmly fixed in the lower anchor opening and in contact with it. The anchor should be located at the centre line of the wall. When two or more anchors are required, the minimum spacing between anchors must be equal to the minimum panel width. Never Use the P‐53 Eye anchor for liing thin panels in shear.

P‐60 SL Tension Bar Installaon
The proper installaon of a tension bar is as follows: 1) 2) 3)
Place the tension bar through the eye of the anchor in such a manner that the tension bar contacts the boom of the eye. Make certain the legs of the tension bar are equal on either side of the an‐ chor. Wire the tension bar into posion so that the tension bar stays in contact with the boom of the eye. (See diagram to right.)
Use bars that have been bent by the reinforcing bar supplier as per the dimension above. Reinforcing bars must be bent around the correct diameter pin as per man‐ ufacturers specificaons. WARNING: DO NOT aempt to use field‐bent bars. Field bending may result in an improperly shaped tension bar, an incorrect radius and/or a cracked bar. A prob‐ lem, such as this, can cause the field‐bent tension bar to fail prematurely.

P-52 Foot Anchor
The Precast & Tilt-Up Experts
The P-52 SL Foot Anchor is forged from carbon steel that obtains the minimum 2.5 factor of safety as set out in AS3850. Both ends of the anchor are hot forged, the head designed to suit the P-50 Lifting Eye, while the disc shaped foot creates a large shear cone in the concrete when under load. The anchor also meets the V–notch charpy test minimum 27J requirements for L15 steels as set out in AS 3850. The anchors are hot dipped galvanised for corrosion protection and are available in grade 316 stainless steel upon request.
Tilt-Lift Equipment anchors can be identified through the unique marking that is on top of the Foot Anchor. The diagram opposite shows the typical head of a standard foot anchor. The initials “TLE” identify this as one of our foot anchors. Also marked on the head of the foot anchor is the load group of the anchors, as well as the overall length of the anchor. Please note that the load group represents the strength of the steel of the anchor and not necessarily the concrete failure of the anchor.

The Precast & Tilt-Up Experts
P‐55 SL Void Former The P‐55 SL Recess void former is used to form a cavity around the SL foot anchor. The recess void form is bolted to the form using a stud and wing nut combinaon (P‐63 Male Connector) or a tapped plate and bolt (P‐66 Female Connector). It posions the anchor for easy aach‐ ment and removal of the clutch.
P‐55 Round Void Former
The SL recess void former has slit which facilitates inseron of the anchor head and withdrawal when the formwork is stripped or the concrete has achieved final set. When removing the void former plain rods or screwdrivers can be introduced into the two holes provided in the top sur‐ face of the recess void former which is then pried open and removed from the concrete.
P‐63 Male Connector The stud and wing nut is used to bolt the P‐55 SL Void former to formwork used in situaons were the formwork can be removed by pulling the formwork directly out from the concrete surface. The formwork will slide out over the threaded stud.
P‐63 Male Connector
P‐64 Female Connector The threaded tapped plate is used to bolt the P‐55 SL Void former to formwork used in situa‐ ons were the formwork cannot be removed horizontally and must be stripped vercally. The formwork needs to be slide directly up along the surface on the concrete and requires a smooth surface. A standard metric bolt is used to bolt the void former to the form. P‐64 Female Connector
How to install P‐55 Recess Void Formers on P‐52 Anchors With the male or female connectors installed grasp the void former across the top diam‐ eter of the plug. Applicaon of pressure by the thumb and fingers on the out edge of the plug will cause the plug to open up to allow inseron of the anchor.
How aach the P‐55 Recess Void Former and P‐52 Anchors to Formwork The stud or bolt is inserted through the form, ghten wing nut or bolt firmly against the form. This will close the slit in the void former ensuring no concrete can enter the void former which may otherwise pose a problem when aaching the clutch

Void former removal
P‐55 void former plugs provide two holes in the top surface that are used in the remov‐ al process. Insert two screw drivers or steel rods in the holes and simply level the two across the plug for easy removal.
P‐57 Steel Void Former The P‐57 steel void former is designed for permanent or semi permanent aach‐ ment to a repeve use precast forms, such as baery moulds, steel forms that have a collapsible stripping feature etc. This void former is drilled and tapped for easy aachment to the form or may be held in place by tack welded or glued. P‐57 Round Void Former
P‐58 Rubber Ring The P‐58 Rubber ring is placed on the sha of the SL Anchor and is seated into the steel void former providing a holding acon for the anchor. It is recommended that when the P‐57 steel void former is used that the end of the anchor be supported to prevent dislodgement. Dislodgement may result in the anchor sing lower in void than normal making it impossible to engage the clutch.

P–50 Universal Foot Anchor Universal Liing Eye
The Precast & Tilt-Up Experts
The SL Universal Liing Eye consists of a flat sided spherical liing body and a high strength bail. The liing body has a T–shaped slot which permits rapid aachment and release of the liing eye onto the anchor, even while wearing work gloves. The design of the P–50 Universal Liing Eye permits the bail to freely rotate 180°, while the complete eye may rotate through a 360º arc. As such once the liing eye is correctly installed and under load it can operate in any direcon. This design feature allows your precast concrete elements to be turned, lted and/or rotated under load. The SL Liing range of products have been designed so that the incorrect size clutch cannot be used on the wrong anchor. The SL Universal Liing Eye should not be used to run a pulley, especially when upside down.
Inspecon While appreciable wear does not normally occur, the general condion and degree of wear should be checked at least eve‐ ry three months. The upper limits of dimensions “H” and the lower limits of dimension “M” are shown below.

How to use the Universal Lifting Eye
1. To install the P-50 Universal Lifting Eye, hold the unit upside down with the T-shaped slot of the body directly over the head of the foot anchor.
2. Lower the body of the lifting eye until the T-shaped slot engages the head of the anchor.
The bail of the P-50 lifting eye can move through a 180° useable range.
The Precast & Tilt-Up Experts
3. Rotate the body until the extended lip of the body touches the horizontal concrete surfaces.
Note the main body of the lifting eye has a 360º rotational range.
The lifting eye may be safely used with the T-shaped slot facing away or towards the direction of applied load.
To disengage the lifting eye, the crane hook is lowered and the body removed by rotating the extended lip upward.
Prior to lifting a precast element, apply an initial cable tension to make certain that the bail and body of the lifting eye are aligned in the direction of the cable pull.
When applying the initial cable tension on edge lift applications, make sure that the cables are at a 90° angle (or larger) to the surface of the precast element.
Warning: Do not allow the crane lines to form an angle less than 900 during an edge lift application. This condition can bend the lifting eye bail and could lead to a premature failure.
Warning: The crane line and bail of the lifting hardware must be turned in the direction of the cable forces before the lifting operation begins. The crane line must not be allowed to apply a sideward force on the bail. This condition is dangerous and could lead to premature failure of the hardware or insert. Warning: Do not modify, weld or alter in any way the Swift Lift Universal Lifting Eye. March 2012

P–51 Liing Eye
The Precast & Tilt-Up Experts
The P–51 SL Liing Eye is a high quality steel casng, hardened and tempered. Its ball shaped lower end fits into the recess formed in the concrete and has a T–shaped slot which engages the spherical head of the anchor. Con‐ necon to the anchor head can only be made when the liing eye posioned face downwards to the concrete. In the working posion, release is impossible. Accidental disengagement is prevented by a gravity–acon safety pin which must be raised before the SL Liing Eye can be removed.
Inspecon While appreciable wear does not normally occur, the general condion and degree of wear should be checked at least eve‐ ry three months. The upper limits of dimensions “H” and the lower limits of dimension “M” are shown below.

T‐41 Ground Release Insert
The Precast & Tilt-Up Experts
The ground release insert is a simple and fast method of liing concrete lt‐up wall panels into posion and allows the hardware to be easily released from the ground. Ladders are normally not required during the hardware release process which greatly increases worker safety and producvity.
Features of the T‐41 Ground Release Insert are: Flexible plasc antenna folds over when screed passes, but springs back to indicate insert locaon.
Plasc Recess plug creates a void for aaching the Ground Release Liing Hardware to the insert head The expendable plasc recess plug is easily removed from hardened concrete.
Direconal label indicates correct panel thickness and direcon of plasc recess plug in relaon to top & boom of panel.
Ground Release Anchor. This hot forged anchor permits rapid hardware aachment and allows smooth rotaon of the hardware during the release operaon.
Support Chair is sized for appropriate panel thickness. Each leg has a plasc p which protects the wire legs from exposure and potenal rust problems.
Ground Release Inserts are shipped assembled, ready to use and are size 3 mm less than panel thickness.
The liing anchors used in the T‐41 Ground release insert meet the V‐notch charpy test minimum 27J requirements for L15 steels as set out in AS3850. Tilt‐Li Equipment anchors also have the idenfying marks as required by various Worksafe industry codes of pracce for Precast and Tilt–Up industries. The tonnage of the anchor, anchor length and Tilt Li Equip‐ ment idenfying mark are all visible on the top of the liing head. “TLE” is the idenfying mark for Tilt Li Equipment. Note: Although the tonnage of the anchor may be 5 tonne, the Working Load Limit of the liing anchor will in most situa‐ ons will be determined by the concrete strength, edge distance and overall length off the anchor. The Working Load Limit for the T‐41 ground release insert, is set out in the table below. (Note: No addional reinforcing is required to achieve these working loads, addional reinforcing is required for lier stability only.)

T‐42 Double Ground Release System
The Precast & Tilt-Up Experts
Over the last few years a trend has developed towards the use of heavier lt‐up wall panels on many projects. In an eff ort to reduce the number of rigging changes required, when these heavier panels are to be erected, Dayton Superior has developed and test a new, double insert liing system for increased liing capacity. II
The new liing system consists of two T‐41 Ground Release Inserts, two T‐43‐R Ground Release Liing hardware units and II our T‐46 Ground Release Spreader Beam with twin 5 tonne shackles. In order to develop the safe working loads list in the T‐42 load table, our T‐41 inserts must be spaced by the panel contractor at 305mm centres. A spacing of less the 305mm greatly reduce the liing capacity of the system and the use of wider spacing is not recommended. Aer the lt‐up panel has been lied into posion and properly braced II off , the two T‐43‐R Ground Release Hardware Units are released from the panel in the very same manner used to release a single unit.

The T–52 edge li anchor comes complete with a 6.3 mm round shear bar. Aach the assembled T– 52 recess plug and anchor to the formwork in its predetermined locaon with the two hooks of the shear bar in the down posion. Always install the edge li unit below the perimeter bar of the panel as shown in the diagram. Use common nails in the upper three tabs of the recess plug. Provide bar supports around the anchor as shown to prevent displacement during the casng process. Perimeter must extend at least 500mm to either side of the anchor, and must installed hard against anchor sha and void former. The 5 tonne edge lier comes with a 5 tonne x 240 mm liing anchor. The 2.5 tonne edge lier comes with 2.5 t x 170 mm liing anchor. In panels less then 125 mm thick the round shear bar that comes with the 2.5t P‐52 edge li anchor should be removed completely and a P‐59 Shear bar must be installed in its place. Either the P‐50 SL Liing Clutch or the P‐51 Liing Eye can be used to edge li panels into posion. DO NOT use the T‐43‐R Ground Release Clutch for edge liing panels.
P‐59 Shear Bar To gain extra load in shear, a P–59 Shear can be added above the anchor. As the diagram below shows, install the P–59 shear bar against the 6.3 mm round bar. Please note that the P–59 shear bar has no impact on tension loads.

Sure Lift (J-6) Premium Bond Breaker
Technical Data Sheet
Product description Sure-Lift (J-6) is a reactive and membrane forming premium bond breaker for tilt-up construction. Sure-Lift is a special formula of polymers and propriety ingredients designed to provide clean easy lifting of tilt panels. J-6 has a fugitive dye for ease of visual inspection during application. Use J-6 is designed to allow for easy lifting of tilt wall panels from a properly designed, finished and cured concrete casting beds. Benefits Chemically Reactive Good resistance to rain and weather Panels lift cleanly Minimal panel residue Resists construction foot traffic • • • • •
NOTE: Prior to application, read and follow all current (verify literature is current) literature instructions, limitations and precautions in this data sheet, on the MSDS and on the label of the container prior to use.
First Bondbreaker Coat The casting bed should be free of all foreign material, salts, laitance and the (J-6) protected, while drying, from all contaminants or particulate matter (i.e., dust, dirt, etc.). Just prior to placing the reinforcing steel, and within two weeks of pouring the panels, spray apply the first bondbreaker application of (J-6) at 9.8m2/L to the point of rejection. Specific site conditions may dictate coverage rates other than the normal recommended coverage rates. Adjust the actual applied rates accordingly. Second Bondbreaker Coat Wait until first coat dries, approximately 2 h ours depending on temperature and humidity, and apply a second coat right angles to the previous coat. Coverage for the second coat will typically be 13.5-17.2 m2/L. If light or white spots appear within 10-40 minutes after spraying, those areas are extra porous and shou ld be fogged with water followed by a reapplication of the (J-6) 13.5-17.2 m2/L. Specific site conditions may dictate coverage rates other than the normal recommended coverage rates. Adjust the actual applied rates accordingly.
The concrete casting slab, waste slabs and tilt wall panels must be properly designed, finished and cured in accordance with industry standards and guidelines.
The number of bondbreaker coats and coverage rates necessary to achieve a complete uniform coverage is highly dependent on the concrete casting slab mix design as well as its inherent porosity, finishing techniques, and other related site specific ambient conditions. Adequate bondbreaker application is in large part dependent upon development of a uniform soap like feel of the bondbreaker treated surface as well as beading of water. Bondbreaker can also be checked by rolling up a small ball like amount under thumb pressure. Extremely porous or rough casting slabs will necessitate successive additional coats of bondbreaker to achieve a consistent uniform membrane of the correct coverage rate and membrane thickness. Extremely porous or otherwise absorptive slabs can also be fogged with water to a saturated surface dry (SSD) condition prior to application of bondbreaker.
Spray Equipment The (J-6) Bondbreaker must be applied by a high quality “low-pressure pump-up type sprayer” such as manufactured by Chapin or others. The tip size must be able to produce a well atomized spray pattern. The sprayer must be kept under sufficient pressure to correctly atomize the (J-6) without streaming, tailing, or spitting. A 1.9 litre/minute tip is generally recommended for most applications. The use of an improper sprayer, a dirty sprayer, lower than adequate pressures or wrong tip can result in an uneven application, and either over or under application.
Bondbreaker Test To verify the integrity of the bondbreaker coat, sprinkle water on the casting bed. (Water should bead up as on a freshly waxed automobile). The applied, dried material should have a soap like feel, uniformly over the substrate. The application should appear uniform and continuous, with light areas requiring re-application. Failure to verify proper uniform application and coverage rates can result in panel sticking. Testing must be performed over a large enough surface area in an adequate testing frequency to provide accurate and meaningful results.
The instructions provided by this technical data sheet to general average site conditions such as concrete mix designs, finishing techniques, and site ambient conditions. Test applications should always be made by the end user prior to overall use of the bondbreaker. This is at a minimum necessary to verify that the amounts of bondbreaker purchased and anticipated to be applied is sufficient to result in the correct application coverage rates and end performance of the product based upon the specific site conditions.

Sure Lift (J-6) Premium Bond Breaker
Technical Data Sheet
It is entirely the contractor’s responsibility to verify that the bondbreaker has been evenly and uniformly applied at the recommended application/coverage rates given the various concrete mix design, densities, finishes, and porosity conditions on each project
Storage The (J-6) should be stored in a tightly secured original factory container. Store in the horizontal position to prevent moisture accumulation on the drum head. Keep from freezing.
Hot Weather Procedures In hot weather, the casting slab must be flooded with water to reduce its porosity and cool it down prior to the first bond breaker application of (J-6). Thoroughly saturate the slab with water, and then squeegee off the excess, removing all the free standing water from the surface, then immediately proceed with applying the first application of the (J-6). Delaying the a pplication of the bondbreaker after wetting of the slab will result in over penetration and lessen bondbreaker effectiveness and panel sticking may result. Prior to concrete placement wet down the casting slab with cool water; excessive water should be blown out immediately prior to the concrete placement. Take care when placing concrete to avoid abrading or scouring the bond breaker on the casting bed as braded or scoured spots or areas may result in stuck panels. Discharge the concrete into previously placed fresh concrete.
Limitations Avoid contamination by storing containers in clean, dry area and keeping lids tightly sealed. The shelf life of (J6) is 12 months when properly stored. Do not spray on reinforcing steel.
Drying Time Approximately 2 hours at 21°C. Cooler temperatures, higher humidity and thicker bondbreaker coats will extend the dry time. Clean Up Tools and Equipment Use: Mineral Spirits, Naphtha, Xylol
Not recommended for application to broom finished or otherwise rough, porous or weak unsound concrete. Do not apply in rain or if rain is forecast within 12 hours of the application. Casting slab surfaces exposed to rain may require reapplication of the bondbreaker at a coverage rate at 13.5-17.2 m2/l. Do not apply below 40°F (4°C) or when ambient temperatures are expected to fall below 40°F (4°C) within 12 hours. Not recommended for application to casting slab concrete that has been cured with curing blankets or plastic coverings without first removing the salts from the concrete’s surface before application of the bondbreaker. Surface salts can result in surface defects.
Estimated Coverage 2 First Coat 9.8 m /l 2 Second Coat 13.5 – 17.2 m /l The above recommended coverage rates are averages based on average site and concrete conditions. Complete and uniform coverage of the casting slab varies considerably with variations in the placing, curing, concrete mix design, density, finishing, and site specific ambient conditions. It is not possible for the recommendations provided by this data sheet to accommodate and account for all variables associated with the coverage rate and application of the bondbreaker. It is the contractor’s responsibility to verify that the applied coverage rates and overall application of the bondbreaker is commensurate with the specific site variables and conditions. Packaging 208 L drums and 20 L pails.
Not recommended when concrete mix designs using fly ash or other pozzolonic materials without first contacting the Technical Services Dept. for specific recommendations. Fly ash can result in slower concrete strength development. Failure to observe specific application rates and procedures may lead to sticking panels.
Application in two thin coats rather than one thick coat will reduce the dry time. Properly applied, casting beds and tilt panels can normally be coated or sealed after appropriate cleaning and or surface preparation of the surfaces. The manufacture of the coating, paint, sealer, adhesive or other subsequent treatments should be consulted for specific substrate cleaning and preparation requirements and instructions prior to painting. Over application can lead to excessive transfer to the panels and potentially cause problems with subsequent paint adhesion. A mock up test panel and casting surface of any subsequent application of paint, coatings, sealers, hardeners or other membrane forming treatments should

Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES SWALLOWED • If swallowed do NOT induce vomiting. • If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on left side (head-down position, if possible) to maintain open airway and prevent aspiration. • Observe the patient carefully. • Never give liquid to a person showing signs of being sleepy or with reduced awareness; i.e. becoming unconscious. • Avoid giving milk or oils. • Avoid giving alcohol. • If spontaneous vomiting appears imminent or occurs, hold patient's head down, lower than their hips to help avoid possible aspiration of vomitus. EYE ■ If this product comes in contact with the eyes: • Wash out immediately with fresh running water. • Ensure complete irrigation of the eye by keeping eyelids apart and away from eye and moving the eyelids by occasionally lifting the upper and lower lids. • Seek medical attention without delay; if pain persists or recurs seek medical attention. • Removal of contact lenses after an eye injury should only be undertaken by skilled personnel. SKIN ■ If skin contact occurs: • Immediately remove all contaminated clothing, including footwear. • Flush skin and hair with running water (and soap if available). • Seek medical attention in event of irritation. INHALED • If fumes or combustion products are inhaled remove from contaminated area. • Lay patient down. Keep warm and rested. • Prostheses such as false teeth, which may block airway, should be removed, where possible, prior to initiating first aid procedures. • Apply artificial respiration if not breathing, preferably with a demand valve resuscitator, bag-valve mask device, or pocket mask as trained. Perform CPR if necessary. NOTES TO PHYSICIAN ■ For acute or short term repeated exposures to petroleum distillates or related hydrocarbons: • Primary threat to life, from pure petroleum distillate ingestion and/or inhalation, is respiratory failure. • Patients should be quickly evaluated for signs of respiratory distress (e.g. cyanosis, tachypnoea, intercostal retraction, obtundation) and given oxygen. Patients with inadequate tidal volumes or poor arterial blood gases (pO2 50 mm Hg) should be intubated. • Arrhythmias complicate some hydrocarbon ingestion and/or inhalation and electrocardiographic evidence of myocardial injury has been reported; intravenous lines and cardiac monitors should be established in obviously symptomatic patients. The lungs excrete inhaled solvents, so that hyperventilation improves clearance. • A chest x-ray should be taken immediately after stabilisation of breathing and circulation to document aspiration and detect the presence of pneumothorax. Any material aspirated during vomiting may produce lung injury. Therefore emesis should not be induced mechanically or pharmacologically.
Section 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES EXTINGUISHING MEDIA • Foam. • Dry chemical powder. • BCF (where regulations permit). • Carbon dioxide. FIRE FIGHTING • Alert Fire Brigade and tell them location and nature of hazard. • May be violently or explosively reactive.

A written policy document, describing the wearing of lens or restrictions on use, should be created for each workplace or task. This should include a review of lens absorption and adsorption for the class of chemicals in use and an account of injury experience. Medical and first-aid personnel should be trained in their removal and suitable equipment should be readily available. In the event of chemical exposure, begin eye irrigation immediately and remove contact lens as soon as practicable. Lens should be removed at the first signs of eye redness or irritation - lens should be removed in a clean environment only after workers have washed hands thoroughly.

OTHER • Overalls. • PVC Apron. • PVC protective suit may be required if exposure severe. • Eyewash unit. • Some plastic personal protective equipment (PPE) (e.g. gloves, aprons, overshoes) are not recommended as they may produce static electricity. • For large scale or continuous use wear tight-weave non-static clothing (no metallic fasteners, cuffs or pockets), non sparking safety footwear. ENGINEERING CONTROLS ■ Engineering controls are used to remove a hazard or place a barrier between the worker and the hazard. Well-designed engineering controls can be highly effective in protecting workers and will typically be independent of worker interactions to provide this high level of protection. The basic types of engineering controls are: Process controls which involve changing the way a job activity or process is done to reduce the risk. Enclosure and/or isolation of emission source which keeps a selected hazard "physically" away from the worker and ventilation that strategically "adds" and "removes" air in the work environment.

EYE ■ There is some evidence to suggest that this material can cause eye irritation and damage in some persons. Direct eye contact with petroleum hydrocarbons can be painful, and the corneal epithelium may be temporarily damaged. Aromatic species can cause irritation and excessive tear secretion. The vapour when concentrated has pronounced eye irritation effects and this gives some warning of high vapour concentrations. If eye irritation occurs seek to reduce exposure with available control measures, or evacuate area. SKIN ■ Repeated exposure may cause skin cracking, flaking or drying following normal handling and use. The material may accentuate any pre-existing dermatitis condition. Aromatic hydrocarbons may produce sensitivity and redness of the skin. They are not likely to be absorbed into the body through the skin but branched species are more likely to. There is some evidence to suggest that this material can cause inflammation of the skin on contact in some persons. Entry into the blood-stream, through, for example, cuts, abrasions or lesions, may produce systemic injury with harmful effects. Examine the skin prior to the use of the material and ensure that any external damage is suitably protected. INHALED ■ Inhaling high concentrations of mixed hydrocarbons can cause narcosis, with nausea, vomiting and lightheadedness. Low molecular weight (C2-C12) hydrocarbons can irritate mucous membranes and cause incoordination, giddiness, nausea, vertigo, confusion, headache, appetite loss, drowsiness, tremors and stupor. Massive exposures can lead to severe central nervous system depression, deep coma and death. Convulsions can occur due to brain irritation and/or lack of oxygen. Permanent scarring may occur, with epileptic seizures and brain bleeds occurring months after exposure. Respiratory system effects include inflammation of the lungs with oedema and bleeding. Lighter species mainly cause kidney and nerve damage; the heavier paraffins and olefins are especially irritant to the respiratory system. Alkenes produce pulmonary oedema at high concentrations. Liquid paraffins may produce sensation loss and depressant actions leading to weakness, dizziness, slow and shallow respiration, unconsciousness, convulsions and death. C5-7 paraffins may also produce multiple nerve damage. Aromatic hydrocarbons accumulate in lipid rich tissues (typically the brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerves) and may produce functional impairment manifested by nonspecific symptoms such as nausea, weakness, fatigue, vertigo; severe exposures may produce inebriation or unconsciousness. Many of the petroleum hydrocarbons can sensitise the heart and may cause ventricular fibrillation, leading to death. Central nervous system (CNS) depression may include general discomfort, symptoms of giddiness, headache, dizziness, nausea, anaesthetic effects, slowed reaction time, slurred speech and may progress to unconsciousness. Serious poisonings may result in respiratory depression and may be fatal. Inhalation of high concentrations of gas/vapour causes lung irritation with coughing and nausea, central nervous depression with headache and dizziness, slowing of reflexes, fatigue and inco-ordination. Exposure to white spirit may cause nausea and vertigo. Inhalation of vapours or aerosols (mists, fumes), generated by the material during the course of normal handling, may be damaging to the health of the individual. CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause drying with cracking, irritation and possible dermatitis following. Substance accumulation, in the human body, may occur and may cause some concern following repeated or long-term occupational exposure. Constant or exposure over long periods to mixed hydrocarbons may produce stupor with dizziness, weakness and visual disturbance, weight loss and anaemia, and reduced liver and kidney function. Skin exposure may result in drying and cracking and redness of the skin. Chronic exposure to lighter hydrocarbons can cause nerve damage, peripheral neuropathy, bone marrow dysfunction and psychiatric disorders as well as damage the liver and kidneys. Immersion of the hands and forearms in white spirits may quickly result in inflammation of the skin and follicles. Workers exposed to white spirit have reported nausea and vomiting and one worker has been reported to develop aplastic anaemia, bone marrow depression and this person later died from septicaemia. Bone marrow depression may be due to the presence of compounds toxic to it, for example, benzene. Chronic solvent inhalation exposures may result in nervous system impairment and liver and blood changes. [PATTYS]. ■

Sure Lift Water Based (J-6WB) Water Based Bond Breaker
Technical Data Sheet
Product description SURE‐LIFT J‐6 WB is a liquid, V.O.C. compliant, water‐based, reactive and membrane forming bondbreaker for use in tilt wall construction. J‐6 WB is a special formula of polymers and propriety ingredients designed to provide clean, easy lifting of tilt panels. J‐6 WB has a fugitive dye for ease of visual inspection during application and is also available without the dye upon special request.
Use J‐6 WB is designed to allow for easy lifting of tilt wall panels from properly designed, finished and cured concrete casting beds.
Benefits • • • • •
Water Based Very low V.O.C. Panels lift cleanly Minimal panel residue Resists construction foot traffic
VOC Less than 100 grams per litre.
recommended for most applications. The use of an improper sprayer, a dirty sprayer, lowers than adequate pressure or wrong tip can result in an uneven application, and either over or under application.
APPLICATION Mixing Thoroughly agitate the J‐6 WB prior to each use. Each bondbreaker drum will be supplied with an integral drum mixer. Use only the built in drum mixer to achieve proper mixing. Proper mixing of the bondbreaker prior to use is extremely important. The bondbreaker drum must be in a vertical position to effect proper mixing. Vigorously mix each drum continuously for a minimum of 3 minutes. Re‐mix if left to set overnight. Failure to properly mix and keep the bondbreaker mixed over time will result in sticking panels The casting bed should be free of all foreign material, salts, laitance and the J‐6 WB protected, while drying, from all contaminants or particulate matter (i.e., dust, dirt, etc.).
First Bondbreaker Coat
NOTE: Prior to application, read and follow all current (verify literature is current) literature instructions, limitations and precautions in this data sheet, on the MSDS and on the label of the container prior to use. The instructions provided by this technical data sheet to general average site conditions such as concrete mix designs, finishing techniques, and site ambient conditions. Test applications should always be made by the end user prior to overall use of the bondbreaker. This is at a minimum necessary to verify that the amounts of bondbreaker purchased and anticipated to be applied is sufficient to result in the correct application coverage rates and end performance of the product based upon the specific site conditions. The concrete casting slab, waste slabs and tilt wall panels must be properly designed, finished and cured in accordance with industry standards and guidelines.
Spray Equipment The (J‐6WB) Bondbreaker must be applied by a high quality “low‐pressure pump‐up type sprayer” such as manufactured by Chapin or others. The tip size must be able to produce a well atomized spray pattern. The sprayer must be kept under sufficient pressure to correctly atomize the (J‐6WB) without streaming, tailing, or spitting. A 1.9 litre/minute tip is generally
The casting bed should be free of all foreign material, salts, laitance and the (J‐6WB) protected, while drying, from all contaminants or particulate matter (i.e., dust, dirt, etc.). Just prior to placing the reinforcing steel, and within two weeks of pouring the panels, spray apply the first bondbreaker application of (J‐6WB) at 9.8m2/L to the point of rejection. Specific site conditions may dictate coverage rates other than the normal recommended coverage rates. Adjust the actual applied rates accordingly.
Second Bondbreaker Coat Wait until first coat dries, approximately 2 hours depending on temperature and humidity, and apply a second coat at right angles to the previous coat. Coverage for the second coat will typically be 13.5‐17.2 m2/L. If light or white spots appear within 10‐40 minutes after spraying, those areas are extra porous and should be fogged with water followed by a reapplication of the (J‐6WB) 13.5‐17.2 m2/L. Specific site conditions may dictate coverage rates other than the normal recommended coverage rates. Adjust the actual applied rates accordingly. The number of bondbreaker coats and coverage rates necessary to achieve a complete uniform coverage is highly dependent on the concrete casting slab mix design as well as its inherent porosity, finishing techniques, and other related site specific ambient conditions. Adequate bondbreaker application is in large part dependent upon development of a uniform soap like feel of the bondbreaker treated surface as

well as beading of water. Bondbreaker can also be checked by rolling up a small ball like amount under thumb pressure. Extremely porous or rough casting slabs will necessitate successive additional coats of bondbreaker to achieve a consistent uniform membrane of the correct coverage rate and membrane thickness. Extremely porous or otherwise absorptive slabs can also be fogged with water to a saturated surface dry (SSD) condition prior to application of bondbreaker.
Bondbreaker Test To verify the integrity of the bondbreaker coat, sprinkle water on the casting bed. (Water should bead up as on a freshly waxed automobile). The applied, dried material should have soap like feel, uniformly over the substrate. The application should appear uniform and continuous, with light areas requiring re‐application. Failure to verify proper uniform application and coverage rates can result in panel sticking. Testing must be performed over a large enough surface area in an adequate testing frequency to provide accurate and meaningful results. It is entirely the contractor’s responsibility to verify that the bondbreaker has been evenly and uniformly applied at the recommended application/coverage rates given the various concrete mix design, densities, finishes, and porosity conditions on each project
Hot Weather Procedures In hot weather, the casting slab must be flooded with water to reduce its porosity and cool it down prior to the first bond breaker application of (J‐6WB). Thoroughly saturate the slab with water, and then squeegee off the excess, removing all the free standing water from the surface, then immediately proceed with applying the first application of the (J‐6WB). Delaying the application of the bondbreaker after wetting of the slab will result in over penetration and lessen bondbreaker effectiveness and panel sticking may result. Prior to concrete placement wet down the casting slab with cool water; excessive water should be blown out immediately prior to the concrete placement. Take care when placing concrete to avoid abrading or scouring the bond breaker on the casting bed as braded or scoured spots or areas may result in stuck panels. Discharge the concrete into previously placed fresh concrete.
Drying Time Approximately 2 hours at 21°C. Cooler temperatures, higher humidity and thicker bondbreaker coats will extend the dry time.
CLEAN UP For tools & equipment use warm, soapy water. After the product dries, solvents such as xylene or mineral spirits may be necessary to remove the product.
Estimated Coverage 2
First Coat 9.8 m /L 2 Second Coat 13.5 – 17.2 m /L The above recommended coverage rates are averages based on average site and concrete conditions. Complete and uniform coverage of the casting slab varies considerably with variations in the placing, curing, concrete mix design, density, finishing, and site specific ambient conditions. It is not possible for the recommendations provided by this data sheet to accommodate and account for all variables associated with the coverage rate and application of the bondbreaker. It is the contractor’s responsibility to verify that the applied coverage rates and overall application of the bondbreaker is commensurate with the specific site variables and conditions.
Packaging 208 L drums and 20 L pails.
Storage The (J‐6WB) should be stored in a tightly secured original factory container. Store in the horizontal position to prevent moisture accumulation on the drum head. Keep from freezing.
Limitations Avoid contamination by storing containers in clean, dry area and keeping lids tightly sealed. The shelf life of (J6) is 9 months when properly stored. Do not spray on reinforcing steel. Never apply bondbreaker unless it has been thoroughly and properly mixed before use. Not recommended when concrete mix designs using fly ash or other pozzolanic materials. Fly ash can result in slower concrete strength development. Failure to observe specific application rates and procedures may lead to sticking panels. Not recommended for application to broom finished or otherwise rough, porous or weak unsound concrete. Bondbreaker should be re‐mixed at the start of each day.

Not recommended for application to casting slab concrete that has been cured with curing blankets or plastic coverings without first removing the salts from the concrete’s surface before application of the bondbreaker. Surface salts can result in surface defects. Application in two thin coats rather than one thick coat will reduce the dry time. Properly applied, casting beds and tilt panels can normally be coated or sealed after appropriate cleaning and or surface preparation of the surfaces. The manufacture of the coating, paint, sealer, adhesive or other subsequent treatments should be consulted for specific substrate cleaning and preparation requirements and instructions prior to painting. Over application can lead to excessive transfer to the panels and potentially cause problems with subsequent paint adhesion. A mock up test panel and casting surface of any subsequent application of paint, coatings, sealers, hardeners or other membrane forming treatments should always be applied and tested to verify proper coating adhesion and adequate cleaning and surface preparation of the tilt panels. Improper concrete mix designs, overly porous or weak casting slab concrete, failure to properly finish and/or cure the concrete and/or uneven or improper application and insufficient mixing of the bondbreaker can lead to panel sticking.
Precautions Harmful if swallowed. DO NOT induce vomiting. If conscious, wash out mouth with water. If swallowed contact a doctor or the Poisons Information Centre immediately (Australia 13 1126; New Zealand 03 4747000) and show container, label or MSDS. Avoid contact with skin or eyes, wear protective clothing. If eye contact occurs, hold eyelids apart and flush the eye continuously with running water, continue flushing until advised to stop by the Poisons Information Centre or a doctor or for at least 15 minutes.

PERSONAL PROTECTION EYE • Safety glasses with side shields. • Chemical goggles. • Contact lenses may pose a special hazard; soft contact lenses may absorb and concentrate irritants. A written policy document, describing the wearing of lens or restrictions on use, should be created for each workplace or task. This should include a review of lens absorption and adsorption for the class of chemicals in use and an account of injury experience. Medical and first-aid personnel should be trained in their removal and suitable equipment should be readily available. In the event of chemical exposure, begin eye irrigation immediately and remove contact lens as soon as practicable. Lens should be removed at the first signs of eye redness or irritation - lens should be removed in a clean environment only after workers have washed hands thoroughly. [CDC NIOSH Current Intelligence Bulletin 59], [AS/NZS 1336 or national equivalent]. HANDS/FEET • Wear chemical protective gloves, eg. PVC. • Wear safety footwear or safety gumboots, eg. Rubber. NOTE: • The material may produce skin sensitisation in predisposed individuals. Care must be taken, when removing gloves and other protective equipment, to avoid all possible skin contact. • Contaminated leather items, such as shoes, belts and watch-bands should be removed and destroyed. Suitability and durability of glove type is dependent on usage. Important factors in the selection of gloves include: • frequency and duration of contact, • chemical resistance of glove material, • glove thickness and • dexterity Select gloves tested to a relevant standard (e.g. Europe EN 374, US F739, AS/NZS 2161.1 or national equivalent). • When prolonged or frequently repeated contact may occur, a glove with a protection class of 5 or higher (breakthrough time greater than 240 minutes according to EN 374, AS/NZS 2161.10.1 or national equivalent) is recommended. • When only brief contact is expected, a glove with a protection class of 3 or higher (breakthrough time greater than 60 minutes according to EN 374, AS/NZS 2161.10.1 or national equivalent) is recommended. • Contaminated gloves should be replaced. Gloves must only be worn on clean hands. After using gloves, hands should be washed and dried thoroughly. Application of a non-perfumed moisturiser is recommended.

For further information consult site specific CHEMWATCH data (if available), or your Occupational Health and Safety Advisor. ENGINEERING CONTROLS ■ Engineering controls are used to remove a hazard or place a barrier between the worker and the hazard. Welldesigned engineering controls can be highly effective in protecting workers and will typically be independent of worker interactions to provide this high level of protection. The basic types of engineering controls are: Process controls which involve changing the way a job activity or process is done to reduce the risk. Enclosure and/or isolation of emission source which keeps a selected hazard "physically" away from the worker and ventilation that strategically "adds" and "removes" air in the work environment. Ventilation can remove or dilute an air contaminant if designed properly. The design of a ventilation system must match the particular process and chemical or contaminant in use. Employers may need to use multiple types of controls to prevent employee overexposure. General exhaust is adequate under normal operating conditions. If risk of overexposure exists, wear SAA approved respirator. Correct fit is essential to obtain adequate protection. Provide adequate ventilation in warehouse or closed storage areas.

Section 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS SWALLOWED ■ The material has NOT been classified by EC Directives or other classification systems as "harmful by ingestion". This is because of the lack of corroborating animal or human evidence. The material may still be damaging to the health of the individual, following ingestion, especially where pre-existing organ (eg. liver, kidney) damage is evident. Present definitions of harmful or toxic substances are generally based on doses producing mortality rather than those producing morbidity (disease, ill-health). Gastrointestinal tract discomfort may produce nausea and vomiting. In an occupational setting however, ingestion of insignificant quantities is not thought to be cause for concern. EYE ■ Although the liquid is not thought to be an irritant (as classified by EC Directives), direct contact with the eye may produce transient discomfort characterised by tearing or conjunctival redness (as with windburn). SKIN ■ The material is not thought to produce adverse health effects or skin irritation following contact (as classified by EC Directives using animal models). Nevertheless, good hygiene practice requires that exposure be kept to a minimum and that suitable gloves be used in an occupational setting. INHALED ■ The material is not thought to produce adverse health effects or irritation of the respiratory tract (as classified by EC Directives using animal models). Nevertheless, good hygiene practice requires that exposure be kept to a minimum and that suitable control measures be used in an occupational setting. CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS ■ There is limited evidence that, skin contact with this product is more likely to cause a sensitisation reaction in some persons compared to the general population. TOXICITY AND IRRITATION J6WB: ■ Not available. Refer to individual constituents.
