Check that load chain stopper or anchor is securely installed in the last link of the free end of the load chain. The load
chain stopper or anchor is intended to prevent the load chain from becoming disengaged from the hoist and is not intended
to support the full load.
•
Do not continue to operate the hoist after the chain stopper or anchor has contacted the hoist body as damage
may occur to the hoist resulting in a falling load which can cause severe injury, death or property damage.
•
The clicking sound of the pawl on the ratchet gear is normal when a load is being raised.
