2. Install a chain container to hoist body
A special canvas chain container is available as an
option. When the chain container is used. install it
to the hoist body as shown in Fig. 1. Every chain
container is indicated with the load chain capacity
it can contain. Should a smaller capacity chain
container be used, all of the required length of chain
can not be collected in it. This is undesirable.
Check the length of load chain and select a proper
capacity chain container.
