7.4.4 Removing the Load Chain
1-FALL CHAIN
1. Remove load from hook block assembly.
2. Remove load block assembly from load chain. Some disassembly of 1-fall load block is required.
3. Attach the chain insert tool to the end of bottom block end of the chain.
4. Run hoist in “UP” direction until all of chain is in container. Stop the hoist with the insertion tool
remaining in the hoist ready for the new chain.
5. Remove chain container with all of old chain in chain container.
6. Remove fall stop from old chain and save for use with new chain.
2-FALL CHAIN
1. Remove load from hook block assembly.
2. Run hoist in “UP” direction until hook block assembly is about 1.0 foot [30cm] from hoist body.
3. Unfasten load chain from chain anchor mounted on hoist body.
4. Remove load block assembly from load chain by allowing chain to run through it. Attach the chain
insertion tool to the bottom block end of the chain.
5. Run hoist in “UP” direction until all of the chain is in the container. Stop the hoist with the insertion tool
remaining in the hoist ready for the new chain.
6. Remove chain container with old chain.
7. Remove fall stop from old chain and save for use with new chain.
