3.2.5 When running chain through the hoist without a load, check for knots in the chain prior to use. TNERs
are typically chained with long lift lengths which makes knotting of the chain easier to occur and more
difficult to detect. Always monitor the chain while operating the hoist to verify that there are no knots
and that the chain is being fed into the hoist in-line with the outer chain guide and axis of rotation of the
load sheave. Knots in the load chain may cause the paddle limit switch to operate improperly.
3.2.6

Operating this hoist without the correct Harrington chain container may create a
potentially harzardous situation. To avoid this potentially hazardous situation, always operate this hoist
with the correct chain container installed.
3.2.7

Each chain container indicates the maximum length of the load chain that can be
stored in the container. The amount of chain the container must hold is equal to the lift on the hoist.
For 2 Ton models, twice the length of chain is needed to achieve the same lift length. DO NOT use a
chain container with a storage capacity less than the lift length on the hoist, or twice the lift length for 2
Ton models. If all of the chain cannot be stored in the container, excess chain can fall from the
container and cause bodily injury or death.
