Tractel tralift CMU Instructions D'emploi page 8

It is recommended that the hoist be stored hanging so that the load chain does not become tangled.
Store the hoist in a dry and weather-proof area. Before storage clean the load chain with a brush and
lubricate with machine oil.
5. LOAD CHAIN
It is essential to guarantee the safety of the hoist to use only the correct dimension load chain
according to ISO grade 80, DIN 5684 grade 8 or equivalent.
The good condition of the load chain is a guarantee of safety and at the same time the good condition
of the hoist. It is therefore necessary to constantly be aware of the condition of the load chain and to
clean and lubricate with machine oil at regular intervals.
The load chain must be examined daily when the hoist is being used to detect any signs of wear or
deterioration. In case of any apparent deterioration have the load chain checked by a competent person.
Do not expose the load chain to excessive temperatures, abrasive materials or chemicals.
The lifting chain must only be replaced by a competent person. Particular attention should be paid to

the position of the sheave and the link welds during replacement of the lifting chain.
6. MAINTENANCE
The tralift™ does not require any special maintenance.
Periodically, in particular after frequent use, or at least annually and according to European safety regu-
lations the hoist must be returned to a recognised and competent lifting equipment service and repair
centre for maintenance and repair.
On each use, check that the catches on the load hook and anchor hook are in good condition and close
correctly.
Maintain the load and hand chain by cleaning regularly and lubricating with machine oil.
If the hoist suffers any damage it must be returned to a recognised and competent lifting equipment
repair centre.
