PROCEDURE #2
Mounting Chain Instructions
(Model #2281 chain mount)
The Model #2281 chain mount is designed to be secured to conduit or
structural supports using the two chains provided. The handles on the chains
should provide sufficient leverage to tighten the chains securely. No other
tools are needed. Be sure to check the mounting chains for kinks and twists
before you tighten them. See Warning below for proper mounting chain
installation.
WARNING
When using the Model #2281 chain mount, never tighten chain as shown in Figure
A. This causes side loading of the chain and can result in failure of the chain or
screw causing components to come loose and possibly cause serious injury or
death. Figure B shows the proper alignment of screw and chain for tightening.
Figure A
Figure B
A Loosen the mounting chain handle so that
only 3 or 4 threads remain engaged.
B Wrap the chain around the floor mount,
conduit or structural support sufficient to
handle the pulling forces.
C Pull the loose end of the mounting chain
tight and hook the closest chain link into
the recessed area.
D Tighten the chain handle. Repeat this
process for second mounting chain.
WARNING
Be sure threads do not bottom out before
chain becomes tight.
OK TOO WIDE
DANGER
ALWAYS ensure cable puller is properly secured before operating.
ALWAYS attach to supports that are at least 2" and not more
than 10" wide.
