Place end of chain in slot in top of hook block
and secure in place with hook block screw, lock-
washer and nut. The first link around the hook
block and hanger sheaves must stand on edge
(be upstanding).

Load chain must have an even number of links.
Check at each stage of assembly to be sure chain
has no twist.
Attach approximately 20 inches of wire to one
end of the load chain. Feed the wire around the
liftwheel as shown in Figure 17 until the first link
starts over it. The first link must lay flat on the
liftwheel. The second link must stand on edge
with the weld away from the liftwheel. After the
chain has been started, pull the hand chain or
turn the handwheel in the hoisting direction
until about 2 feet of load chain has passed over
the liftwheel.
If it becomes difficult to pull the hand chain in
the hoisting direction, pull it in the lowering
direction to release the load chain. Start over.
This will prevent the load chain from being
jammed between the liftwheel and frame.
Remove the wire and attach the loose end of
chain to the hoist using the loose end screw,
washer and lockwasher (see Figure 17).
Mount hoist in a vertical position. Operate in the
hoisting direction until the remaining load end
of chain is approximately 15 feet long.
Reeve load end of chain as shown in Figure 20 in the
following sequence.
1. Down around the lower hook block sheave.
2. Up around the hoist hanger sheave.
3. Down around the second hook block sheave.
4. Up the the hoist hanger.
Secure end of chain to the chain anchor with the dead
end pin. The first link around the hook block sheaves
must stand on edge and the first link around the hoist
hanger sheave must lay flat.
