chain. Wipe off excess. This leaves lubricant at the
bearing points of the links.

started by pulling on the hand chain.
It is normal to hear a clicking sound when the load
is raised, but when it is lowered, no clicking
sound should be heard.
Caution
Do not overload the hoist. Overloading may shorten
the lifeof the unit or cause accidents.
When the hand chain suddenly becomes taut, STOP

upper or lower limit.

periodically-especially if it has been used in the
rain.
