D. MOUNTING THE HOIST:
Hang the hoist from its intended support. The structure used to support the hoist must have sufficient
strength to withstand several times the load amount. If you are not sure of the weight the structure can
hold, consult a registered engineer and the local building codes.
Suspending the hoist from an inadequate support could allow the hoist and load to fall and
cause personal injury and/or property damage.
To avoid injury:
Make sure that the structure has sufficient strength to withstand several
times the hoist and its rated load amount. Using the upper hook, hang the hoist from the
support. Make sure the hoist is solidly held in the uppermost part of the hook arc and the
latch is tightly against the hook tip.
E. LOAD CHAIN:
The chain should feed smoothly into and away from the hoist and hook block (1/2 ton and 1 ton). If the
chain binds, jumps or is noisy, First clean and lubricate the chain, iftroub1e persists inspect chain and
mating parts for wear, distortion and other damages.
F. LOAD CHAIN LUBRICATION:
Always lubricate load chain weekly or more frequently depending on severity of service. Lubricate load
chain with a light coat of Lubriplate Bar and Chain Oil 10-R (Fiske Bros. Refining Co.) or equal lubricant.
Be sure the lubricant reaches the bearing surfaces between the links. Remove the excess oil from the
chain.
Used motor oils contain unknown carcinogenic materials.
To avoid health problems:
Never use used motor oils as a chain lubricant. Only use
Lubriplate Bar and Chain Oil 10-R as a lubricant for the load chain.
G. HOOK AND EYE SUSPENSION HOISTS:
The suspension point should be of a correct size to admit the top hook or eye of the hoist and allow it
to rest properly on the saddle. It must be adequate to support the hoist while it is being operated at its
maximum capacity (safe working load).
H. CHAIN CONTAINER:
For installations where the slack chain hanging from the hoist may be objectionable or hazardous, the
use of a chain container is recommended.
Do not attempt to store more chain in the chain container than what is specified for the
hoist or serious damage to hoist may result and hazardous conditions may be created.
INSTALLATION OF STANDARD CHAIN CONTAINER:
1.
Remove both bolts from the chain container
mounting bracket.
2.
Attach the chain container to the bracket.
3.
Reinsert the bolts.
