10. MAINTENANCE
HAND CHAIN:
The hand chain should be cleaned, inspected and gauged in the same manner as the load
chain. The hand chain does contain an un-welded link. Therefore, if it is necessary to
shorten the hand chain or replace the hand chain, a hand chain connecting link will be
required. Note, opening and closing the connecting link more than twice is not
recommended. Also, connecting links must not be made by cutting the weld side of a
standard hand chain link. Care must be taken to ensure that there is no twists in the hand
chain loop.
LUBRICATION:
Lubricate the load chain with a light coating of chain oil. Be sure the lubricant reaches the
bearing surfaces between the links, remove the excess oil from the chain using a cloth.
WARNING:
The brake is designed to operate dry. Do not use any grease or lubricant on the braking
surfaces. When lubricating pans adjacent to the brake, do not use excessive amount of
lubricant, which could seep onto the brake surfaces.
