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.
ONLY FOR GM2, GM4 AND GM6
(GM6 WITH PLASTIC CHAIN BOX)
The illustrations show a chain box being installed
on the GM6 chain hoist. Installation on a GM2 or
GM4 chain hoist is very similar.
INSTALLING THE CHAIN BOX
Bolt SL safety clip
Chain box
Place the chain in the chain box.
Turn the chain box as shown in the figure
(slanted side facing outward).
Use the bolts to install the chain box on the
chain hoist.
─ For GM2: Use a bolt to fix the chain box to
the chain hoist.
─ For GM4 and chain box with one hole: Use
a bolt to fix the chain box to the chain hoist.
─ For GM4 and chain box with two holes: Use
a bolt to fix the chain box to the chain hoist.
Use the inner holes of the chain box. The
outer holes remain free.

bolts to fix the chain box to the chain hoist.
Secure the bolts with the SL safety clips (1x
