Preparation and Inspection Before starting the replacement process, please make sure to complete the following preparations: · **Safety Measures:** Wear protective gloves to prevent your hands from being scratched by the burrs on the chain or any sharp parts. · **Tools Required:** You will likely need wrenches, screwdrivers, and other tools to remove the casing or tighten the bolts. · **Cleaning and Inspection:** Take the opportunity to clean the interior of the chain hoist and check whether components such as gears, brakes, and pawls show any signs of wear, damage, or cracks. If any damaged parts are found, replace them immediately. Identifying the Chain Type It is essential to ensure that the specifications of the new chain (such as size, grade, and construction) match exactly those specified by the manufacturer of the chain hoist. · **Mixing of New and Old Chains is Strictly Prohibited:** Using an old chain alongside a new one can accelerate the wear and damage of the new chain. · **If You’re Uncertain about the Original Chain’s Specifications:** It is highly recommended that you consult the manufacturer of the chain hoist or a professional supplier for assistance.
