(3) Lubricating the load chain
To lubricate the chain, lightly coat the chain with machine oil or gear oil. Regular lubrication will help prevent
wear and corrosion, which will extend the service life of the chain. Be sure oil is applied to surfaces of the
chain.
(4) Checking chain alignment
Remark : For larger capacity hoists (7.5t and larger), refer to the ERML-9806-MC manual.
ER series hoist have double chain fall models for 3t or 5t capacity. Ensure that the bottom hook on the double
fall models is not capsized. If it is capsized, restore it to normal and make sure the welds on the chain links are
in alignment. Never try to suspend a load on a hoist with twisted chain.
Check for twisting in the chain.
