4OPERATION
4.1 General
Before using the chain blocks, observe the arking and select the correct size according to the
load to be lifted.
Prior to each use, the chain blocks must be visually checked for damage or incorrect functioning.
In order to check the load brake for each new lifting operation, raise the load a little first and
stop again before lifting the load completely. In order to operate the brake mechanism, it is
necessary to apply a minimum load. (See table for technical data)
Use chain blocks only in the te perature range fro -10 °C to +50 °C.
Position the chain block between centre of gravity of the load and the suspension point.
Ensure the hooks are seated correctly and the safety latches are engaged.
Also ake sure that the load chain is not twisted or has knots or da ages.
4.2 Lifting the load
Pulling the hand chain in the direction of the "U" = ‚Up’.
4. Lowering the load
Pulling the hand chain in the direction of the „D“ = ‚Down’.
You ay need a little ore force to release the brake.
4.4 After use
Re ove foreign objects or dirt fro the load chain and the chain block. Check the load chain, hook
and safety latches to ensure that the chain block can be used again. Store chain blocks in a dry,
clean place.
4.5 Slipping clutch
The slipping clutch is set at the factory to approxi ately 1.6 ti es the working load li it and is
exclusively for overload protection of the chain block.
It ay not be operationally used or actuated.
The slipping clutch ust only be set by the anufacturer or authorized co petent persons.
Repeated checks of the slipping clutch adjustment at short intervals (e.g. after rental) impair the
functionality and are therefore not permissible.

5CHAIN ASSEMBLY
1. Clean the load chain that is to be asse bled as well as the parts of the chain block that co e
into contact with the load chain.
2. Insert the first load chain link in an upright position (vertical to the sprocket) between the chain
guide and the sprocket. Ensure that the welding seams of the following vertical load chain
links point outwards in a radial manner. Rotate the hand wheel so that the second load chain
link can be horizontally assu ed by the following pocket of the sprocket.
3. Continue with the rotary ove ents until sufficient load chain links protrude fro the other
side of the housing in order to perfor the further steps.
4. Pay attention to the correct positioning of both load chain strands in ter s of the chain guide
rollers.
During operation, the housing orients itself according to the load. Neither of the load chain
strands may then come into contact with the housing bolts under load.
he load chain may not run above the guide roller under any circumstances!
5. When dealing with a single-strand design, insert the load chain end of the load chain strand
(see note at the end of the page) into the console of the hook attach ent and fasten it with the
chain bolt. Secure chain bolt with new self-locking nuts.
6. When dealing with a twin-strand design, insert the load chain end of the load chain strand (see
note at the end of the page) above the botto block sprocket. In doing so, pay attention to the
correct align ent of the inlet to the chain drive sprocket so that the chain strand is not twisted.
7. When dealing with the TM-B-OP-100, insert the load chain end of the of the load chain strand
(see note at the end of the page) via the sprockets of the botto and top block according to the
reeving diagra illustrated below. In doing so, pay attention to the correct align ent of the
inlets to the chain drive sprocket so that the load chain strands are not twisted.
8. Fasten the loose load chain to the load chain end fitting fixed to the housing. In the event of a
twin-strand reeving the loose load chain end co ing out of the botto block will be fixed by a
bolt to the upper hook suspension. Pay attention that the load chain strands are not twisted. If
necessary, shorten the load chain by re oving a link. Secure the chain bolt with a new splint.
9. Perfor a functional test using a low load. Check that the load chain strands are not twisted,
that the load chain is not touching the housing bolts and that it flawlessly glides into the chain
guide.
NOTE: When looking at the type plate, the downward load chain strand is always to the right of
the sprocket axle or rotation axis of the hand sprocket.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
TM-CHAIN BLOCKS
B07725-G EN 06.2022 7 | 12
Reeving scheme of M-B-OP-100N:
For load chain mounting make sure that the welds of the upright load chain links in the
sprockets of the drive module and top block face outwardly!
For design reasons, at the botto block this can only be achieved by a deflector roll.
In the case of ulti-strand versions, it can happen that all load chain strands are twisted after
thechain block has been fitted correctly. This is due to the way the chain block has been stored.
Before further use of the chain block, turn the botto block around the horizontal axis
(perpendicular to the chain wheel axis) until all load chain strands are no longer twisted.
he load chain must not be twisted between its two attachment ends!
6INSPECTIONS
6.1 General
Inspections and maintenance must be arranged by the owner!
Inspection deadlines shall be determined by the owner!
Inspections by a co petent person ust be carried out regularly and at least annually, ore often
in case of heavy use. For each chain block, docu entation ust be kept in which all inspections
and aintenance activities are to be listed.
The chain blocks ust be recertified after 4 years in operation latest.
Recertification ust also be carried out after repairs, which ay only be carried out by an
authorised service centre. In this case, contact the service address.

Take chain blocks out of service i ediately in the event of the following defects:
•illegible or issing arkings
•defor ation, stretching or breakage of chains or co ponents
•cuts, notches, cracks, tears, crushes
•heating above the per issible te perature range
•severe corrosion
•issing or defective safety devices
6.2 Normal use
Observe for da age or unusual noises that indicate a potential proble . Do not operate a chain
block if the load chain cannot ove freely. Check for clicking noises, ja ing or incorrect
operation. The clicking sound of the pawls on the ratchet wheel during lifting is nor al.
If the load chain ja s, ju ps or akes excessive noise, inspect it.
Also ake sure that the hand chain can ove freely, is not ja ed and has no da age.
If proble s continue, send the chain block to the service address for inspection or repair.
Do not put chain blocks into operation until all defects have been eliminated.
6. Load chain
Check ALL load chain links in regard to bending, corroding,
locking, stretching, bending and especially to any wear.
The load chain should be taken out of service if the pitch
has increased by ore than 3 % or the average wire
dia eter reduced by ore than 10 %.
If necessary, lubricate the load chain.
A failure of the load chain can occur if the load chain is not
clean and lubricated. If the load chain is dirty and unlubricated, this can lead to pre ature wear
and subsequent chain failure.
Lubricate the load chain, e.g. with a ineral oil in accordance with DIN 51502 CLP 220 or with a
dry lubricant, e.g. Uni oly C 220 spray in the event of a dusty or dirty environ ent.
Cleaning (e.g. before testing) ust not be carried out by processes that can cause hydrogen
e brittle ent (e.g. pickling or dipping in acid solutions).

6.4 Hooks
Check hooks for wear and any da age. Take hooks out of service if the hook opening has widened
by ore than 10 % or the shank height in the hook botto reduced by ore than 5 % co pared
to a new hook.
If a safety latch no longer cuts in at the tip of the hook due to a widening of the hook, the entire
chain block has been massively overloaded and must be disposed of.
he use of load-bearing components of such a chain block as spare parts is not permitted.
Check that the hooks rotate freely and easily without obstruction.
Check the function of the safety latches.
6.5 Slipping clutch
If a chain block is used as intended, the slipping clutch is not set or adjusted. It can only be
replaced as a co plete unit and ust be subsequently exa ined by expert staff once installed.
7MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
7.1 General

A necessary repair can be only ade by an authorized service centre. In such a case, please
contact the service address.
7.2 Replacement of the load chain
Unload the chain block and loosen the chain bolt on the hook tackle or suspension console in the
event of a twin-strand reeving as well as on the chain end fitting. Allow the used load chain to run
through the chain block in the lifting or lowering device and, if necessary, pull the load chain
through the top and botto block. Asse ble the new load chain according to the infor ation
provided in Chapter 5.
7. Replacement of the load hook / hook tackle (single-strand)
The hook tackle can only be replaced as a unit. Unload the chain block and open the nut belonging
to the chain bolt. Pull the chain bolt out of the hook tackle console. Insert the load chain end into
the console of the new hook tackle and push a new chain bolt into the drill hole of the console and
through the last load chain link. Secure the chain bolt with a new self-locking nut.
7.4 Replacement of the load hook / bottom block (twin-strand)
Unload the chain block and open the screw belonging to the botto block console. Open one half
of the botto block console and re ove the hook. Correctly insert the new hook co plete with
its retainer into the botto block console. Close the botto block console with its half. In doing
so, ensure that the hook retainer and the sprocket bolts are located in the intended retainers.
