Use only Star (H) grade load chain and factory replacement
parts. Use of other chain and parts may be dangerous and
voids factory warranty.
Use only Star (*) grade load chain and original replacement
parts. Use of other chain and parts may be dangerous and
voids factory warranty.
IMPORTANT: Do not use replaced chain for other purposes such
as lifting or pulling. Load chain may break suddenly without visual
deformation. For this reason, cut replaced chain into short lengths
to prevent use after disposal.
Use of commercial or other manufactures’ chain and parts to repair
hoists may cause load loss.
TO AVOID INJURY:
Use only factory supplied replacement load chain and parts.
Chain and parts may look alike, but our chain and parts are made
of specic materials or processed to achieve specic properties.
Use only a “Knife-edge” caliper to eliminate possibility of false
reading by not measuring full pitch length.
Note that worn chain can be an indication of worn hoist
components. For this reason, the hoist’s chain guide, hook
block and liftwheel should be examined for wear and replaced
as necessary when replacing worn chain.
Also, these chains are specially heat treated and hardened and
should never be repaired.
IMPORTANT: Do not use replaced chain for other purposes such
as lifting or pulling. Load chain may break suddenly without visual
deformation. For this reason, cut replaced chain into short lengths
to prevent use after disposal.
CHAIN LUBRICATION
A small amount of lubricant will greatly increase the life of load
chain. Do not allow the chain to run dry.
Keep it clean and lubricate at regular intervals with Lubriplate®
Bar and Chain Oil 10-R (Fiske Bros. Rening Co.) or equal lubricant.
Normally, weekly lubrication and cleaning is satisfactory, but under
hot and dirty conditions, it may be necessary to clean the chain at
least once a day and lubricate it several times between cleaning.
When lubricating the chain, apply sufcient lubricant to obtain
natural run-off and full coverage, especially in the interlink area.
Used motor oils contain known carcinogenic materials.
TO AVOID HEALTH INJURIES
Never use used motor oils as a chain lubricant. Only use
Lubriplate® Bar and Chain Oil 10-R as a lubricant for the load
chain.
LUBRICATION
To assure extra long life and top performance, be sure to lubricate
the various parts of the Shopstar Hoist using the lubricants specied
below. If desired, these lubricants may be purchased from the
factory. Contact customer service for more information.
The lubricants used in and recommended for the Shopstar Hoist
may contain hazardous materials that mandate specic handling
and disposal procedures.
TO AVOID CONTACT AND CONTAMINATION:
Handle and dispose of lubricants only as directed in applicable
material safety data sheets and in accordance with applicable
local, state and federal regulations.

GEARS
The Protector (620-111) should operate for the normal life of the
hoist without service. The device has been lubricated and calibrated
by the factory and should not be adjusted.
