1.
Clean any dirt off of the lift and
load chains and ratchet block to
avoid having any foreign material
potentially interfere with the brake
and ratchet system.
2.
Periodic lubrication with a light
grease on the gears inside the
ratchet block will ensure free and
smooth operation. Grease can be
applied with a scrap piece of wood
through the opening in the bottom
of the ratchet block.
3.
Generally disassembly of the
ratchet block mechanism should
never be required. If it should
become necessary, this mainte-
nance should be performed by a
skilled service technician who is
familiar with these types of lifting
devices.
4. If the device is disassembled for
servicing, be sure to check the
hoist with a light load to be sure
the brake mechanism is proper-
ly holding the lifted load. If it
appears okay with a light load,
move to a load at its maximum
capacity and perform the same
check.
MAINTENANCE
Disassembly and improper
reassembly of this device can result
in the braking or locking mecha-
nisms not working properly. Loads
may not stay suspended and might
cause a crushing injury. Always
have this device serviced by a qual-
ified repair technician. Serious
injury will result.
