•
The device must be able to move freely even under load to avoid inadmissible additional loads.
Checking the load chain
Check if the load chain is sufficiently lubricated and check it for visual faults, e.g., distortions, superficial
cracks, and signs of wear and corrosion.
Checking the chain stop
The chain stop must always be attached to the loose end of the chain. There must be no wear and tear
and no wrong alignment.
Checking the upper hook and load hook
Check the upper hook and load hook for cracks, distortions, damages, and signs of wear and corrosion.
The safety lock must be able to move freely and be fully operational.
Checking the reeving in the lower block
•
All devices with two or more parts of chain must be checked for twisting or kinking of the load
chain before the first use. To give you an example, the chains of chain hoists with two or more
parts of chain might twist if the lower block flips over.
•
When replacing the chain, make sure that it is reeved correctly. The welding seam of the chain
must be directed outwards.

Only mount a load chain authorised by the manufacturer. Any disrespect of this prescription
results in the immediate termination of warranty.
Checking the length of the hand chain
Adjust the length of the hand chain so that the distance between its lower end and the floor is between
500 and 1000
mm.
Operational check
Before use, check, if the chain drive unloaded is operational.

When pulling the hand chain clockwise, a load is lifted.
Attention!
Depending on the type of the load borne, please note that the lifting height of a
device with chain box might decrease.
Lowering the load
