9. Attachment and operation
1. Make sure the chain hoist is securely fastened. Be careful when choosing fastening
points. These points must be able to carry double the load. If you are unsure as to
whether the chosen point is the right one, please choose a different one.
2. The chain hoist should be fastened so that it cannot change its position during operation.
3. The latch locks which are attached to the fastening hook and the load hook must al-
ways be closed during operation.
4. The maximum height of the anchor point must not be higher than 3.5 m.
Lifting the load (fig. 5)
On the front side of the chain block there is an engraved arrow pointing upwards, labelled
"U". Pull the hand chain (2) on this side of the chain block in order to lift the load. (fig. 5/B)
Lowering the load (fig. 5)
On the front side of the chain block there is an engraved arrow pointing downwards,
labelled "D". Pull the hand chain (2) on this side of the chain block in order to lower the
load. (fig. 5/A)
m Attention
The braking system can become dangerously hot in exceptional cases (continuous and fast
lowering). In these cases it is necessary to lower the load slowly and intermittently.
10. Cleaning and maintenance
• In order to achieve the longest possible operating efficiency and reliability of the chain
hoist, remove dirt regularly from your chain hoist, grease the relevant parts thoroughly
after use and store the hoist in a dry place.
• Do not carry out any technical alterations or repairs to the chain hoist; have these carried
out by an expert instead.
• The chain hoist must be regularly examined for damage.
• The working order of the chain hoist is to be checked regularly.
Perform any servicing work after using and before storing the equip-
ment:
• Clean the chain block thoroughly.
• Lubricate the chain block properly at all times.
• Lubricate the load hook chain and joint with oil.
Special attention must be paid to servicing when installing the chain block outdoors.
