5.3 Before using, prepare and check the following five items.
(1) Gear oil supply
Gear oil is pre-supplied in the gear box.
To change gear oil: Remove oil plug and drain from gear box. Drain contaminated oil completely, fasten
drain plug, supply the specified gear oil sufficiently from the oil plug hole, then firmly fasten the oil plug.
Use of the hoist without sufficient oil can cause immediate and severe damage to the hoist’s gear and clutch
mechanisms, which can result in hoist malfunctioning. To avoid these hazards,
NEVER
use the chain hoist
without sufficient oil. Refer to the following table.
Use of oils other than the specified Kito’s gear oil might not allow full exertion of the built-in
friction clutch, which can cause load to drop. To avoid these hazards:
ALWAYS
use the specified Kito’s oil
To avoid oil leak, make sure to firmly fasten drain plug.
(2) Chain container assembly
The chain container stores the load chain on the no-load side. In connecting it to the hoist body, fasten it
completely and pay attention to the following points:
Firmly fasten bolt and nut as shown in the following figure appearing on the next page.
ALWAYS
be sure that the load chain on the no-load side is properly stored in the chain container and stored
correctly from the end.
NEVER
store chain in the chain container which exceed the specified length of the chain container.
