ONLY FOR GM6 (GM6 WITH CHAIN
BOX WITH METAL FRAME) AND
GM8
The illustrations show a chain box being installed
on the GM8 chain hoist. Installation on a GM6
chain hoist is very similar.
INSTALLING THE CHAIN BOX
Inner hole Bolt
Chain box SL safety clip
Place the chain in the chain box.
Turn the chain box as shown in the figure
(bar facing outward).
Use the bolts to install the chain box on the
chain hoist.
─ For GM6 and chain box with metal frame:
Use a bolt to fix the chain box to the chain
hoist. Use the inner holes of the suspension
strap. The outer holes of the suspension
strap remain free.
─ For GM8: Use a bolt to fix the chain box to
the chain hoist. Use the inner holes of the
suspension strap. The buffer is fixed to the
outer holes of the suspension straps.
Secure the bolts with the SL safety clips
(2x).
LUBRICATING THE CHAIN
A well-lubricated chain wears much slower and can be
used considerably longer. The chain must be
lubricated before operation.
Press the LIFT button and allow the chain to
run into the chain box. Lubricate the chain
during its movement.
Lubricant: “Chainlife S”. For details, see
“Lubricants”, page 85.
Apply additional lubricant to the unstressed
chain in the chain box so that it flows into the
joints of the chain links.
