Maintenance
Lubrication
Proper lubrication with machine oil is necessary to increase the life of the chain. Lubrication should be
done based on usage and on a regular basis. It may be necessary on a weekly basis for heavy use
or monthly if used less often.
• Clean the chain with an acid free cleaning solution to remove debris.
• Apply oil to chain focusing on bearing surfaces such as interlink areas.
• Do not apply oil to braking surfaces.
• Gears and shafts run on steel bearings and do require lubrication.
Disassembly to Replace Load Sheave or Stripper
1. Remove the chain
2. Remove the lock nut, screw, lock washer, hand wheel, lever handle, overload/brake cover
assembly, female thread grip, friction disc, ratchet disc, free spring, and disc hub.
3. From the gear side remove the gear case assembly, disk gear assembly, and drive shaft. Then
remove the snap ring, splined gear, and gear side plate assembly. Slide the load sheave out of the
gear side plate. Now the stripper can also be removed.
Assembly
Before reassembly check each part for damage, corrosion, or excessive wear. Replace
parts as necessary. Re-assemble the hoist in reverse order to the disassembly steps listed
above. Once assembled the chain can be installed and before use the unit should be tested
for proper function.
Storage of Hoist
Store the hoist in a clean dry area.
Maintain proper lubrication of the hoist while it is being stored.
If the hoist is malfunctioning clearly mark it before placing it in storage.
Outdoor Hoist Usage
Store hoist indoors when not in use.
Frequently inspect the hoist for signs of corrosion due to environmental factors.
