Attention!
Care must be taken to ensure that no lubricant can penetrate the brake housing. This can
lead to brake failure.
Replacing the load chain
•
In the event of visible damage or deformation, the load chain must be replaced with a new chain
of the same dimensions and quality; it must be replaced at the latest when it has reached the
decommissioning state. A load chain that is to be discarded may only be replaced by an author-
ised specialist workshop.
•
Only load chains approved by the manufacturer may be installed. Failure to comply with this
regulation will void the warranty with immediate effect.
Attention!
The replacement of a load chain must be documented.
Chain hoist with single part of chain
•
Run in the new chain only when it is not under load.
•
An open load chain link is required as an aid. This can be obtained by using a grinding wheel to
cut out a section from an existing link of the same dimensions. The length of the cut section
must be at least the thickness of the link.
•
Remove the load hook from the old load chain and hang the open load chain link in the loose
end of the load chain.
•
Also hang the new, lubricated load chain in the open link and pull it through the chain hoist
(chain movement
lifting).
•
Do not put on a twisted chain. The welding seams must be directed outwards from the chain
wheel.
•
When the old load chain has run through the chain hoist, it can be removed together with the
open chain link, and the load hook can be attached to the new load chain that has just been
inserted.
•
Attach the end of the idle part of the new load chain to the housing or frame (depending on
version) of the chain hoist.
Chain hoist with more than one part of chain
Attention!
Only pull in a new chain when the lower block is relieved, otherwise the lower block can fall
down when you loose the load chain.
Risk of injuries!
•
An open load chain link is required as an aid. This can be obtained by using a grinding wheel to
cut out a section from an existing link of the same dimensions. The length of the cut section
must be at least the thickness of the link.
•
Disconnect the loaded end of the load chain from the hoist housing or lower block (depending
on version).
•
Hook the prepared, open load chain link into the now free end of the load chain.
•
Also hang the new, lubricated load chain in the open link and pull it through the lower block and
chain hoist (chain movement
lifting).
•
Do not put on a twisted chain. The welding seams of the chain must be directed outwards.
•
When the old load chain has run through the chain hoist, it can be removed together with the
open chain link.
•
Attach the loaded end of the new load chain to the hoist housing/frame or lower block (depend-
ing on version).
•
Attach the loose end of the idler chain to the hoist in place of the old load chain.
Attention!
The loose end of the idler must always be attached to the chain stop (see illustration).
