8. MAINTENANCE
HAND CHAIN:
The hand chain should be cleaned, inspected and gauged in the same manner as the load chain.
The hand chain does contain an un-welded link. Therefore, if it is necessary to shorten the hand
chain or replace the hand chain, a hand chain connecting link will be required. Note, opening and
closing the connecting link more than twice is not recommended. Also, connecting links must not
be made by cutting the weld side of a standard hand chain link. Care must be taken to ensure that
there is no twists in the hand chain loop.
LUBRICATION:
Lubricate the load chain with a light coating of chain oil. Be sure the lubricant reaches the bearing
surfaces between the links, remove the excess oil from the chain using a cloth.
WARNING:
The brake is designed to operate dry. Do not use any grease or lubricant on the braking surfaces.
When lubricating pans adjacent to the brake, do not use excessive amount of lubricant, which
could seep onto the brake surfaces.
