5.2 Hoist Operation: Free Chain 

5.2.1 Principle 

 

Free chaining allows the load chain to be moved freely because the brake is released under no load situations. 

 

Pulling the free knob actuates the internal spring to release the mechanical brake allowing the load chain to be pulled in 

either direction to the desired length. 

 

The brake is engaged during lowering or lifting the load.

 

5.2.2: Operation 

 

DO NOT

 operate the hoist Free Knob while a load is applied to the hoist. 

 

DO NOT

 touch the hoist Free Knob during lifting or lowering of the load. 

 

ALWAYS

 check that the selector is placed in the proper position. 

 

Set the Selector to the “N” position. The Selector is located under the Free Knob on the hand lever. 

 

Pull the Free Knob pout. The Free Knob turns counterclockwise and “snaps” out.  

 

Pull the load chain to move the hook to the desired position. 

 

DO NOT

 pull the chain suddenly in the free chain mode. Excessive pulling may set the brake and not allow the load chain to 

move. If this occurs the hoist must be reset. 

 

To reset the hoist to operate, rotate the Free Knob clockwise while pulling lightly on the load side chain. Once slack is 

removed, the Free Knob “snaps” in. This resets the brake and allows the hoist to be operated with the hand lever. 

 

DO NOT

 attempt to use the free-chain feature while there is any load on the hoist.
