Weihua chain hoist user manual​

1. Introduction to Weihua Chain Hoist

Weihua chain hoists are designed for lifting heavy loads with minimal effort. They are widely used in factories, warehouses, construction sites, and maintenance shops. Key features include:

• Robust steel construction

• Smooth and precise lifting operation

• Compact and lightweight design for easy handling

• Safety hooks and load chains made from high-strength alloy steel

2. Safety Precautions

Before using your chain hoist, read and follow these safety instructions:

✅ Check Before Use: Inspect the hoist, hooks, and chain for damage or wear. Do not use if any parts are damaged.
✅ Load Limit: Never exceed the rated load capacity. Overloading can cause serious accidents.
✅ Proper Hooking: Always ensure the load is properly balanced and securely hooked.
✅ No Side Pulling: Lift only vertically. Pulling the load at an angle can damage the hoist.
✅ Stay Clear: Never stand or pass under a suspended load.

3. Installation Instructions

• 1. Positioning: Hang the hoist securely from a suitable beam or trolley. Ensure the supporting structure can handle the load capacity.
• 2. Mounting: Use the top hook or suspension eye to attach the electric hoist. Double-check that the attachment point is secure and level.
• 3. Test Run: Operate the hoist without load to check the lifting and lowering functions. Listen for unusual noises.

4. Operating Your Weihua Chain Hoist

• Lifting: Pull the hand chain smoothly in one direction to raise the load.

• Lowering: Pull the hand chain in the opposite direction to lower the load.

• Control Speed: Operate at a steady speed to maintain control.

• Stop and Secure: When lifting is complete, ensure the load is stable and the hoist is not left under tension unnecessarily.

5. Maintenance Tips

Regular maintenance is key to prolonging the life of your chain hoist:

• Lubricate: Keep the load chain lightly oiled to prevent rust and ensure smooth operation.
• Inspect: Frequently check hooks, chains, brakes, and gears for signs of wear.
• Clean: Wipe off dirt and debris after use. Store the hoist in a dry place.
• Professional Servicing: Have the hoist inspected and serviced by qualified personnel at regular intervals.
