B. Testing before each use
– Hang the chain hoist with the hook in the support structure and turn once.
– The hand chain and load chain must hang down freely without any bends or twists.
– Pull the hand chain all the way through once.
– Inspecting the load brake: Raise the load slightly and hold it in place. If the load
holds securely, raise it further. During lowering, the load must not slip when the
hand chain is stopped.
– If all goes well, operation can be initiated.
– Important for equipment with multiple chain strands: Load hook
block shall not be passed through the chain loop. This can
be recognised from the twisted chain. The respective second
chain link in a row is not evenly aligned. If the weld seams of
the chain links do not run in the same direction, the hook block
must be folded back through the chain loop.
– The last chain link must be attached to the housing, or be
equipped with a chain end stopper.
C. Important notes
– Check that the delivered chain hoist corresponds with your order, that it is compete
and that all screws and nuts are firmly tightened.
– Make sure that no transport damage has occurred.
– Check whether the load-bearing structure supporting the hoisting equipment is of
the correct type and strength for the required loads. A statics appraisal must be
obtained for on-site load-bearing constructions, if necessary.
– Never attach the top hook just on the tip to the load support structure.
Always load the chain in a straight pull!
– Before use, the hooks must undergo a special check for wear, bending or other
damage.
– Ensure that the hook is suspended properly.
Do not apply loads to the tip, do not overload!
– When the minimum load (approx. 10% of the rated load) is attached, the brake
engages automatically.
– The chain hoist is only suitable for raising and lowering vertically.
– To move the load, pull the hand chain up or down.
