3-4 Ton Hoists
Load chain must have an even number of links.
Check at each stage of assembly to be sure chain
has no twist.
Attach approximately 20 inches of wire to one end
of the load chain. Feed the wire around the lift-
wheel as shown in Figure 17 until the first link starts
over it. The first link must lay flat on the liftwheel.
The second link must stand on edge with the weld
end away from the liftwheel. After the chain has
been started, pull the hand chain or turn the hand-
wheel in the hoisting direction until about 2 feet of
load chain has passed over the liftwheel.
If it becomes difficult to pull the hand chain in
the hoisting direction, pull it in the lowering
direction to release the load chain. Start over.
This will prevent the load chain from being
jammed between the liftwheel and frame.
Remove the wire and attach the loose end of
chain to the hoist using the loose end screw,
washer and lockwasher (see Figure 17).
Mount hoist in a vertical position. Operate in
the hoisting direction until the remaining load
end of chain is approximately 5 feet long. Reeve
load end of chain as shown in Figure 18 in the
following sequence.
1. Down around the lower hook block sheave.
2. Up the the hoist hanger.
Secure chain end to hoist hanger with dead end
pin. The first link around the hook block sheave
must stand on edge (be upstanding).
