Item Check method Criteria When failed
Elongation of
Pitch
• Measure the elongation
of pitch with point caliper.
(Measure the sum of pitches
of 5 links)
Check the engaging point of the Load
Sheave and the Idle Sheave especially
carefully.
NOTE
• The limit value of the following “Sum of pitches
ofvelinks”mustnotbeexceeded.
Replace the Load
Chain.
Abrasion of
wire diameter
• Measure the wire diameter
(d) with point caliper.
• The limit value of the following “Wire diameter
oftheLoadChain”mustnotbeexceeded.
When the abrasion of the Load Chain is
observed, be sure to check the abrasion
of the Load Sheave and the Idle Sheave
also. (Refer to “Periodic Inspection”, “Load
Sheave” (P81).)
NOTE
Replace the Load
Chain.
Sum of pitches of 5 links

Load Chain
● Check the Load Chain after removing the stain on the chain.
● Use the needle head caliper (point caliper) to measure the sum of pitches and wire diameter.
● Apply oil on the Load Chain after inspection.
● Application of lubricant influences on the life of the Load Chain considerably. Use the KITO genuine lubricant or
equivalent (industrial lithium grease: consistency No.0)
● Release all loads from the Load Chain. Apply the lubricant to the linking portion of the Load Chain that engages the
Load Sheave and the Idle Sheave and the linking portion of the Load Chain.
● After application of the lubricant lift/lower the electric chain hoist without load to spread the lubricant on the Load Chain.
