Assembly Of The Hand Chain (Models with hand chain drive only)
To fit the hand chain position the slot on the outer edge of the hand chain wheel below the chain guide. Place any one link of the
endless hand chain vertically into the slot and turn the hand chain wheel until the link has passed the chain guides on both sides.
Attention: Do not twist the hand chain when fitting.
Geared trolleys are moved by pulling the hand chain.
Shortening or extending the hand chain (Models with hand chain drive only)
The length of the hand chain should be adjusted so that the distance to the floor is 500 - 1000 mm.
NOTE: For safety reasons, hand chain links may only be used once.
• Look for the non-welded link of the hand chain, bend to open and discard it.
• Shorten or extend the chain to the required length.
ATTENTION: Always remove or add an even number of chain links.
• Use a new link to close the loose chain ends by bending it (for extending the hand chain, two new chain links are required).
ATTENTION: Make sure that the hand chain does not turn during installation.
Installation of the chain stop
The chain hoist is delivered with a correctly installed chain end stop.
The chain end stop must be installed on the idle strand of the load chain so that there is at least one full free chain link under it.
Installation of the chain container
There are three lifting lugs on the housing of the CPV/F electric chain hoist for the optional chain container. Before installation, the load
hook is to be lowered to the lowest possible position so that the chain end stop triggers the limit switch on the housing. The chain
container can then be installed. Incorrect installation is ruled out by the 3-point fastening.
ATTENTION: While installing the short screw, please make sure that the screw head is on the side facing the motor!
The holding capacity of the chain container to be installed should never be smaller than the load chain length of the device on
which it is to be placed. Risk of chain break!
This specification is applicable even if the device is used repeatedly and exclusively to lift loads to lower heights.
NOTE: In multiple strand devices, the load chain length is a multiple of the possible lifting height!
Make sure that the two self-locking nuts are turned on the screws at least so wide that 1½ screw threads project over the nuts.
After installation, check the chain container for smooth working. To do so, lift the load hook over the entire load chain length so that the
bottom block triggers the limit switch. During the lifting operation, check the smooth entry of the load chain into the chain container.
