REEVING LOAD CHAIN
Installing a new length of load chain
To replace the load chain, remove the lower hook block and
chain stop from the chain. Move the directional lever to the
neutral “N” and pull the old chain out of the hoist. Feed a
length of soft wire through one side of the chain guide roller
and over the liftwheel until it comes out on the other side of
the chain guide roller.
Attach the wire to the end of the new chain. Position the chain
so that the first link to enter the chain guide roller will be an
upstanding link and the welds on all upstanding links will be
away from the liftwheel. Pull on the wire until the chain
engages the liftwheel. Turn the free chaining knob, while pulling
on the wire, until the chain comes out of the chain guide roller.
Pull the chain through and remove the wire. Attach the lower
hook block to the chain that is directly below the upper hook.
Attach the chain stop to the other end of the chain.
TESTING
Prior to initial use, all altered, repaired or used hoists that have
not been operated for the previous 12 months should be
tested by the user for proper operation. Test the unit without a
load and then with a load of 100 pounds (46 Kg) to be sure
that the hoist operates properly and that the brake holds the
load when the lever is released. Then test with a load of 125%
of rated capacity. Hoists in which load sustaining parts have
been replaced should be tested with a load of 125% of rated
capacity by, or under the direction of, an appointed person
and a written report prepared for record purposes.
For a complete listing of accessories refer to your
MILWAUKEE Electric Tool catalog. To obtain a catalog,
contact your local distributor.
To reduce the risk of injury, use only specifically

To reduce the risk of injury, feed load chain between
liftwheel and chain guide before attaching the warning
tubes and end ring. Failure to properly install the load
chain may cause the chain to lift out of the liftwheel
pockets and allow the load to drop.
