• Make sure that the load chain is lubricated over its entire length, also including the part of the
chain in the housing of the hoist.
• Clean dirty chains with petroleum or a similar cleaning agent, never heat the chain.
• When lubricating the chain, also check the chain for wear.
ATTENTION: It must be ensured that no lubricant can penetrate into the brake
enclosure. This may result in failure of the brake.
Replacing the load chain
The load chain must be replaced by a new chain of the same dimensions and quality in the
event of visible damage or deformations, however, when the discarding status has been
reached, at the latest. A load chain to be discarded must only be replaced by an authorized
specialist workshop. Only fit load chains which have been approved by the manufacturer. Non-
compliance with this specification will render the legal warranty or guarantee void with
immediate effect.
NOTE: Replacement of a load chain must be documented!
ATTENTION: Chains must only be replaced by chains of the same material, with the
same quality and the same dimensions.
Hoist with single fall
• Only pull in the new chain in no-load condition.
• An open load chain link is required as a tool. It can be obtained by using an abrasive wheel
to cut a section from an existing link with the same dimension. The length of the cut section
must at least correspond to the thickness of the link.
• Remove load hook from the old load chain and suspend open load chain link in the loose
end of the load chain.
• Suspend the new, lubricated load chain also in the open link and pull it through the hoist unit
(LIFTING chain movement).
• Do not fit a twisted chain. The welds must face outwards from the chain wheel.
• When the old load chain has passed through the hoist unit it can be detached together with
the open chain link and the load hook can be fitted on the new load chain just pulled in.
• Fix the end of the idle fall of the new load chain on the housing or frame (depending on
model) of the hoist.
Hoist with several falls
ATTENTION: Only pull in the new chain when the bottom block is unloaded, otherwise
the bottom block may drop when the load chain is detached. Danger of injury!
• An open load chain link is required as a tool. It can be obtained by using an abrasive wheel
to cut a section from an existing link with the same dimension. The length of the cut section
must at least correspond to the thickness of the link.
• Detach the loaded-fall end of the load chain from the housing of the hoist unit or the bottom
block (depending on model).
• Suspend prepared, open load chain link in the now free load chain end.
• Suspend the new, lubricated load chain also in the open link and pull it through the bottom
block and the hoist unit (chain movement UP).
• Do not fit a twisted chain. The welds must face outwards from the chain wheel.
• When the old load chain has passed through the hoist unit it can be detached together with
the open chain link.
• Fix the loaded-fall end of the new load chain on the housing/frame or on the bottom block
(depending on model) of the hoist.
