Features and terminology
Installation
Support for the hoist may be hook, clevis pin,
trolley, or beam clamp. Whatever method of
suspension is chosen, the support components
must be rated equal to, or greater than the
capacity of the lever hoist. Supporting structures
(such as I-Beams, etc.) should be installed by
properly licensed professional installers.
Pre-Operation Inspection
Inspecting the Load Chain
1. A chain stop must be attached to the second-
to-last link on the slack end of the chain. See
Figure 2.
Do not operate the hoist with a
twisted, kinked or damaged chain. Do not
splice the chain.
2. Check that the chain does not twist along its
length from hoist to hook. If twist is present on
units with multiple falls, the hook must be
passed back through the chain loop to remove
all twist in the chain.
3. Replace the chain if links are stretched too
long or seriously worn on the surface,
especially at the points where links contact
each other. See "Allowable Limits" on page 12
for measuring chain elongation.
4. Do not use a chain that is seriously rusted or
cracked.
5. Periodically apply a light coat of 30W oil to the
chain. This will create easier operation and
prolong the chain's life. For optimum results,
clean the chain with an acid-free solution
before oiling.
The load chain supplied with
your
JET
lever
manufactured, and tested for proper fit and
durability. If chain should ever need replacing,
for your own safety use factory replacement
chain
only.
Use
replacement chain may cause serious injury
and/or damage to the lever hoist.
Never extend load chain by welding a second
piece to the original.
