7.3 Load Chain
7.3.1 Lubrication and Cleaning
 Clean the chain with an acid-free cleaning solution. The load chain should be kept clean and
lubricated.
 Lubrication - Clean and lubricate the load chain per Section 6 at least once every 3 months for
normal usage. Clean and lubricate more frequently for heavier usage or severe conditions.
7.3.2 Replacement
1)
CAUTION!
An air supply line must be connected to the hoist in order to perform the following
procedures.
2)
WARNING!
Be certain that the replacement chain is obtained from Kito and is the exact size,
grade and construction as the original chain.
3)
CAUTION!
When replacing load chain, check for wear on mating parts, i.e. Load Sheave,
Chain Guides and Idler Wheels, and replace parts if necessary. Remove old chain. Remove hook
set assemblies, limit locks, stoppers and end connections from the chain for reuse on new chain. If
the load chain is being replaced due to damage or wear, prevent its reuse by destroying the old
chain.
