WARNING!
READ, UNDERSTAND AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND
WARNINGS BEFORE OPERATING THIS TOOL. FAILURE TO DO SO
MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE AND
WILL VOID WARRANTY.
Some dust created by power sanding contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm. An example of this type of chemical is lead from lead based paints. Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you
do this type of work. To reduce your exposure: work in a well ventilated area and work with approved safety equipment, such as dusk masks
that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

This document describes the 1 TON CHAIN HOIST, Stock Number W4005DB, a lifting device designed for personal, family, or household use. It is manufactured by Wilmar Corporation under the Performance Tool® brand.

Function Description

The chain hoist is designed to lift loads up to its rated capacity. It operates by pulling a hand chain, which rotates a hand wheel. Pulling the hand chain clockwise raises the load, while pulling it counterclockwise causes the hand wheel to separate from the brake seat, releasing the ratchet disc and gently lowering the load. The device is intended for lifting only, and the load must be supported immediately after lifting. It is crucial not to overload the chain hoist beyond its rated capacity, as this can lead to damage or failure of the hoist.

Important Technical Specifications

• Capacity: 2,000 lbs. (equivalent to 1 ton)
• Lift Range: 8 ft.
• Stock Number: W4005DB

Usage Features

Before operating the chain hoist, users must determine the approximate weight of the load to be lifted and ensure it does not exceed the rated capacity.

• Pre-Operation Checks: Before each application, inspect the hooks, load chain, braking device, and other critical parts, including the lubrication of the block.
• Hook Attachment: All hooks must be securely attached to the chain hoist. The load should not be suspended from the tip of the hook, nor should the hook be tilted.
• Chain Alignment: The load chain must remain vertical without any twist to prevent tangling.
• Operating Position: The operator should stand in the plane of the hand wheel when lifting.
• Lifting: Pull the hand chain smoothly and steadily in a clockwise direction to raise the load.
• Lowering: Pull the hand chain in a counterclockwise direction to lower the load.
• Safety Precautions:
  • DO NOT pull the hand chain in a direction diagonal to the hand wheel to prevent tangling the chain and rotating the block.
  • NEVER pass or work beneath a lifted load.
  • If the hand chain binds, STOP IMMEDIATELY and inspect the chain hoist parts, ensuring nothing is entangled and the load is within the rated capacity.
  • NEVER OVERLOAD THE CHAIN HOIST. Overloading can cause damage or failure and will void the warranty.
  • This is a lifting device only; loads must be supported immediately.

Maintenance Features

Regular care and maintenance are essential for the longevity and optimal performance of the chain hoist.

• After Each Use: Clean the chain hoist and store it in a dry environment to prevent corrosion and rusting.
• Annual Maintenance: Once a year, clean all chains and hoist parts with kerosene, then lubricate the gears and bearings with grease.
• Assembly Guidelines (if disassembled for maintenance):
  • Align the "O" marks of the gears during reassembly.
  • When fitting the chain sprocket rollers into the outer race of the bearing on the side plate, the rollers can be attached with grease to the journal of the chain sprocket.
  • Brake Mechanism Reassembly: Exercise extra care. Align the diagonal teeth of the ratchet disc and the pawl. Ensure the pawl springs are in good working condition. When the hand wheel is twisted onto the driving shaft clockwise, it must press the discs and plates onto the brake seat. When rotating counterclockwise, there should be clearance between the disc and the plates.
  • Do not dismantle the right side plate and stay.
• Post-Maintenance Testing: After maintenance, subject the block to both a no-load test and a heavy load test. The chain hoist can be returned to operational status only after being found in good condition.
• Regular Inspections: Regularly inspect the braking mechanism, keeping all friction surfaces clean and well lubricated.
• Damage Protocol: Regularly check for loose, worn, or damaged parts. Any hoist that appears damaged in any way must be removed from service immediately.
