●Beam width of the geared trolley, prior to delivery, is set to the maximum value for the
product (EX:125mm for 1ton). In order to change it into H-beam width, adjustment of
the suspension shaft, spacers, etc. is necessary. Perform the adjustment as follows:

3-2 MOUNTING TROLLEY ON RAIL
There are two ways for mounting the trolley on the travelling rail in accordance with
location of the travelling rail installation in the building.
1) Mounting from the rail end
After setting to the appropriate beam width of the trolley, remove the rail end stopper
and mount the assembled trolley from the rail end as in the following drawing.
Be sure to replace the detached stopper.
2) Mounting by disassembling the main body
When there is no space between the rail end and the building, remove the frame on
the chain hoist side and, after placing the opposite side frame on the travelling
surface, perform reassembly.
（NOTE :See “2-1.ADJUSTING BEAM WIDTH”.）
Be sure to firmly support the parts during reassembly from the bottom side so that the
handwheel side is not tilted or otherwise shifted.
On completion of reassembly, be sure to confirm that various shafts, nuts, look pins
and split pins are properly fastened without any slack and have not been loosened.

4. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
4-1 PRE-START INSPECTION
Daily inspection is a MUST for safety purposes. Always perform a daily
inspection before starting operation.
―― Checking Items ――
Check before opening
Does the unloaded trolley travel smoothly without any load?
Is travel free of jolts?
Is the frame free of any visible deformation?
Is the traveling rail free of any deformation /damage?
Monthly check
■Is a contact surface of hook yoke and bottom hook not worn?
①Measure the distance (A dimensions in a figure) from the hook yoke undersurface
to the bottom hook undersurface at the time of the purchase and record it.
②A check method: Measure the dimensions of the same position of ①.
Assume measurements of this time B.
If values of B－A=C exceed the numerical value of the list shown below, please
change hook yoke and bottom hook.

③At the time of check, please confirm that you turn bottom fook and turn smoothly.
When bottom hook does not turn smoothly, please break down a hook yoke part and
clean, and, please improve grease. (shell Albania grease S3 or an equal article.)
Still, please change bottom hook and hook yoke when it is not improved.
！WARNING

－7－
●Always refer to the “Standard CB Series Manual Chain Hoist” instruction manual for
pre-start inspection procedures for the hoisting unit.
Never use a hoist under abnormal condition.
Always stop operation immediately on detection of any abnormality,
and either repair or replace the damaged part with the appropriate
product without delay.
4-2. PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE OPERATION
Always apply sufficient oil to the load chain and idle sheaves.
Always perform a daily inspection of the load chain and idle
sheaves. Upon detecting wear, etc., replace parts immediately. A
worn load chain is dangerous and can cause breakage.
Never lift a load aslant. Always move the trolley to the position
directly above the load to be lifted so that it can be lifted vertically.
Never allow the trolley to hit the stopper.
When two or more trolleys are installed on the same rail, never bring
them into contact and hit with each other.
Never hitch the hand chain of a geared trolley into any other
machine.
Always operate travelling the trolley from a position to the rear of the
load
Abrasion may occur between hook yoke and bottom hook when
turn a load in the state that lifted a load.
Because bottom hook may drop when abrasion exceeds a
permission level, please carry out a periodic inspection by all
means.
