4. The load chain should be greased before use.
5. The brake surfaces must not be greased. The brake must be kept dry
6. Make sure that the load chain has no knots. If there are knots in the load chain, these
must be removed before use.
7. Make sure the load chain is hung on the chain pulley before each use.
8. When pulling the hand chain, stand in the same position and angle as the drive wheel.
Do not pull at an oblique angle. A secure posture is necessary.
9. Do not lift the load so that it is above any persons. Do not allow any persons to walk
underneath the load. If you wish to lift a load, please warn anyone in the surrounding
area.
10. Do not lift any persons with the chain hoist.
11. The load must be held firmly in the hook. Try not to lift the load with the point of the
load hook.
12. Pull the hand chain evenly, to avoid thrusts or entanglements.
13. If the chain is barred or cannot be pulled further, please stop. Examine and resolve
the problem. Do not attempt to use force on the chain hoist. Do not leave the load
hanging in the air.
14. Please do not lower the load further than the usable length of the chain. If the chain
between the chain wheel and the chain pulley is pulled too taught, this can cause
damage.
15. Do not allow the load to come into contact with the chain hoist, otherwise free rotation
will be blocked, which could cause damage, knots in the chain or barred wheels.
16. Regular checks and maintenance should be carried out. All damaged or faulty parts
must be exchanged by an expert.
17. The chain hoist functioning in both "with load" as well as "without load" modes must
be thoroughly and adequately checked.
18. Make sure the load weight is smaller than the stated weight of the chain hoist. If in
doubt, do not use the chain hoist.
19. Never overload the chain hoist.
20. Safety procedures, examinations and greasing should be carried out before and
during operation. The chain hoist should only be used if it is in proper working order.
21. Always make sure the chain is vertical and straight, and there are no knots.
22. Never pull the hand chain and the load chain at an oblique angle.
23. Do not use the chain block in an explosive environment or damp rooms.
24. Examine the load chain (1), hand chain (2), fastening hook (3), load hook (4), load
pin (5), drive wheel (6), and latch lock (7) for defects, especially after longer periods
of standstill.
25. Adjust the hand chain (2) so that the point of chain reversal of the hand chain (2) is at
a height of between 500 and 1000 mm above the ground.
26. Pay attention to any defects which may have occurred during use. If there are
noticeable problems, immediately stop the chain block from operating.
