the hoist model and capacity. Never operate the hoist with incorrect, missing or damaged chain
components. Refer to the hoist's nameplate,
Table 3-2 , and Figure 3-2 and ensure that all chain
components are in the correct location and properly installed.

socket bolt and lock nut. Make sure the chain remains free of twists and the chain Stopper is installed
on the correct link. Refer to
Table 3-2 for proper placement of Stopper.
