BEFORE USING, PREPARE AND CHECK THE FOLLOWING FIVE ITEMS.
(1) GEAR OIL SUPPLY
Gear oil is pre-supplied in the gear box.
To change gear oil: Remove oil plug and drain plug from gear box. Drain contaminated oil completely, fasten
drain plug, supply the specified gear oil sufficiently from the oil plug hole, then firmly fasten the oil plug.
: Use of the hoist without sufficient oil can cause immediate and severe
damage to the hoist’s gear and clutch mechanisms, which can result in hoist
malfunctioning and possible death or serious injury. To avoid these hazards,
never use the chain hoist without sufficient oil. Refer to the following table.
: Use of oils other than the specified Kito’s exclusive gear oil
might not allow full exertion of the built-in friction clutch,
which can cause load to drop. To avoid these hazards:
ALWAYS use the specified Kito’s exclusive gear oil.
: To avoid oil leak, make sure to firmly fasten drain plug.
(2) CHAIN CNTAINER FITTING
The chain container stores the load chain of the no-load side. In connecting it to the hoist body, fasten it
completely and pay attention to the following points:
: Firmly fasten bolt and nut as shown in the following figure appearing on the
next page.
: ALWAYS be sure that the load chain of the no-load side is properly stored in
the chain container and folded correctly from the end.
: NEVER store chain in the chain container which exceed the specified length
of the chain container.
