block.
MAINTENANCE
Clean off the dirt on the chain
block, lubricate its parts with
grease after use and store it in
a dry place.
While assembling the brake
mechanism, take care to mesh
the slanting teeth of the ratchet
disc and the pawl.
Make sure that the spring and
pawl work sensitively and
reliably. Turn the hand wheel
clockwise ensuring it presses
the disc and the plates on the
brake seat. If turned clockwise,
there should be clearance
between the disc and the plate.
After cleaning and repairing the
block should be subjected to a
no-load test and load test. A
chain block can be put into
operation after it has been
tested and found under reliable
brake and in good condition.
Keep the friction surfaces of the
brake clean. Break mechanisms
should be inspected regularly
for prevention of faulty breaking
and falling of the load.
