MAINTENANCE

WARNING

Never perform maintenance on the hoist while it is supporting a load.

Before performing maintenance, tag hoist:

DANGER - DO NOT OPERATE -

EQUIPMENT BEING REPAIRED.

Only allow personnel trained in the operation and service of this product to perform maintenance.

After performing maintenance on the hoist, test to 125% of its rated capacity before returning to service. Testing to 150% of rated capacity will be required to set overload clutch and might be required to comply with standards and regulations set forth in areas outside of the USA.

Installing New Load Chain

WARNING

To prevent a falling load, which can cause death, injury or property damage, the hook must be on left fall of load chain and right fall must be attached to hoist body with anchor pin and anchor hanger. Right and left designations are as viewed from the hand chain side of the hoist.

NOTICE

Do not remove the old load chain from the hoist. The old load chain can be used to install the new load chain.

1.Remove end of load chain from anchor pin.

a.1/2 to 3 ton units are single fall hoists. The load end of the load chain is anchored to the bottom hook assembly. To disconnect the load chain from the bottom hook assembly remove anchor pin and nut. On bottom hook remove spring and pin.

b.5 ton units are double chain fall hoists. The load end of the load chain is anchored to suspension plates. To disconnect load chain from suspension plates remove anchor bolt assembly.

2.Make a “C” link in new load chain by grinding through one side of the end link. Refer to Dwg. MHP0817 on page 8. To avoid twisting, the load chain on 2, 3 and 5 ton units must have an odd number of links, not counting the “C” link.
