The Chain Hoist is a device for vertical lifting and lowering of loads. The chain hoist is provided for attachments (Attachment point - bottom) at altitudes from 3.0 to 3.5 meters. Outside this height, the hand chain must be shortened / extended accordingly.40

The equipment is to be used only for its prescribed purpose. Any other use is deemed to be a case of misuse. The user / operator and not the manufacturer will be liable for any damage or injuries of any kind caused as a result of this. Please note that our equipment has not been designed for use in com- mercial, trade or industrial applications. Our warranty will be voided if the equipment is used in commercial, trade or industrial businesses or for equivalent purposes.

5. Safety information

1 The rated load limit must not be exceeded, as overload can damage the chain hoist or reduce the lifting capacity in the future. 2 Do not use electrical appliances to operate the chain hoist. The chain hoist is designed for manual use only. 3 Do not try to repair the load chain. If it is damaged, the load chain should only be replaced by an expert. The load chain must be replaced with a new one of the same welded and hardened steel, in the same size and strength/thickness. 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 rmly 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. Exam- ine 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, other- wise 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.41

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. 27 The temperature of the surrounding atmosphere must be between -10°C and +50°C in order to operate.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY INFORMATION

Workplace safety 1 Keep the work area orderly. Disorder in the work area can lead to accidents. 2 Provide adequate lighting at work.. 3 Keep children and other persons away from the work area. Maintain a safe distance from the work area. 4 Secure the work area by means of lockable latches, lockable main switch, etc. against unauthorized access. 5 Wear proper clothing. Wearing loose clothing, gloves, scarves and jew- elry in the work area must be avoided, because they might get stuck in moving parts and can thus lead to serious injury. 6 Wear shoes with non-slip soles. 7 Wear a certied helmet as head protection. Long hair is fully covered under the head cover. 8 Wear safety goggles. 9 Provide a secure attachment of the chain hoist at the mounting point. The load capacity of this compound must be higher than the specied maximum load of the chain hoist. 10 Secure the chain hoist when leaving the work area. m This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including chil- dren) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.42

7. Before starting the equipment

Adjustment of the hand chain The chain hoist is supplied with a hand chain whose length is proportional to the pass of the pulley. In case of normal installation it satises the condition of proper adjustment of the chain end. In cases in which the length of hand chain does not appeal the prescribed conditions, it is necessary to shorten or lengthen the chain. m Modikation of the machine only by a special- ist workshop. 1 Before you lift a load with the chain hoist, you should make yourself familiar with the “without load” function of the chain hoist. 2 Brake control system Test the brakes as follows:

• Lift and lower the load to various heights

• Check whether load holding in any position is ensured43

8. Attachment and operation

1 Make sure the chain hoist is securely fastened. Be careful when choos- ing 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 posi- tion during operation. 3 The latch locks which are attached to the fastening hook and the load hook must always be closed during operation. 4 The maximum height of the anchor point must not be higher than 3.5

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.

9. Cleaning and maintenance

• In order to achieve the longest possible operating efciency 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.44

Adjusting the Brake (Fig. 6 - 7): m Attention: All settings and servicing at brake system let carried out only by trained specialist personnel!

• Remove the housing cover by loosening the 3 screws on the back of the unit

• Remove the safety splint (Fig. 6/E)

• Fix the wheel for guiding the chain (Fig. 7 / D) by hand

• Now turn the adjusting screw (Fig. 6 / C Fig. 7) in the desired direction m Note: The wheel for guiding the chain (Fig. 7 / D) must be able to rotate counterclockwise and clockwise. Do not tighten the adjusting screw (Fig. 6 / C) to strongly.

• Rotating the wrench (Fig. 7 / K) in a clockwise direction increases the braking effect.

• Turn the wrench (Fig. 7 / K) anti-clockwise to reduce the braking effect.

• Insert the safety splint back on and secure it by prying.. m Note: If the braking effect is losing return the unit to a specialist workshop for inspection. Let‘s check the thickness of the brake discs at regular intervals by a specialist workshop. Load chain The chain life is sufciently dimensioned. Nevertheless, the life is shortened due to external inuences. If a length of 21 chain links 400 mm is exceeded, the chain must necessarily be replaced. Length of 21 chain links45

Load hook The load hook gets deformed when handled unprofessionally or when overloaded. The load hook must immediately be replaced if the g dimension reaches the limit value of 26 mm. Safety will not be guaranteed if the above-mentioned provision is not provided. m Failure to observe the safety is no longer guaranteed. G-NEW = 23 mm ±5% G-Min. = 22 mm G-Max. = 24 mm G-Replacement necessary = 26 mm
