Our chain hoists are constructed according to the state of the art and equipped

to incorrect use or use for an unintended purpose.
• Read the operating instructions before starting to work with the chain hoist.
• Observe the Duties of crane operator.
• Always work in a safety-conscious manner and avoid risks.
Before starting work find out where the EMERGENCY STOP facility is (usually in the
control pendant - optional feature.)
• Do not use the emergency limit (final limit switch for highest and lowest hook
position) as an operational limit.
• Report damage and defects to the chain hoist to the person responsible
immediately. Do not use the chain hoist until the damage has been repaired.
• Do not remove information plates from the chain hoist. Replace illegible or
damaged plates.
• Only direct persons to operate the hoist if they have been trained or
instructed in its use. Observe the legal minimum age!
• At regular intervals, check that work is being carried out in a safety-conscious
manner.
• Observe the intervals specified for periodic tests. File the test reports in the test
log book.

3.0 Getting to know the chain hoist
Hoists and cranes must be tested by a qualified person at least once a year. The
results of the test must be recorded and filed in the test log book.
The remaining service life of the hoist according to FEM 9.755 is also established
during this test. All tests must be initiated by the operator.
With the purchase of this chain hoist you have decided on a high-quality piece of lifting
equipment. Our after sales service will give you advice on its correct use. In order
to preserve the safety and constant availability of your chain hoist we recommend
concluding a maintenance contract according to which we undertake the recurrent tests
for you.
Repairs will be carried out quickly and economically by our trained personnel
The chain hoist indef-HC+ is compact in its construction. It is suitable for a great variety of
applications. The chain hoists HC2+, HC3+, HC4+, HC5+ and HC6+ are practically identical
as regards construction and method of functioning. They differ only with regard to the
permissible lifting capacities.
