Caution:
When using the equipment, a few safety precautions
must be observed to avoid injuries and damage.
Please read the complete operating manual with due
care.
Keep this manual in a safe place, so that the
information is available at all times. If you give the
equipment to any other person, hand over these
operating instructions as well.
We cannot accept any liability for damage or
accidents which arise due to a failure to follow these
instructions and the safety instructions.

1. 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 firmly 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. Examine 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, otherwise 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.
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.
