What to do if my CM 646 will not operate in the lowering direction?

  Mia HernandezAug 6, 2025
  If your CM Chain Hoists won't operate when lowering, consider these potential causes: * The brake is locked due to a suddenly applied load, shock load, or load removed by means other than operating the unit in the lowering direction. With the hoist under load and the chain taut, pull sharply on the hand chain in the lowering direction to loosen the brake. * The chain is binding. Refer to items 1A, 1B, and 1C for guidance on resolving chain binding issues. * The lower hook is all the way out, and the load chain is fully extended, making the chain taut between the liftwheel and loose end screw. Operate the unit in the hoisting direction only.
