GEAR TIMING
When assembling gears, they must be orientated with the timing
marks orientated as shown. (use figure "Gear Timing") Note: For 1.5
tonne units, orientation of pinion/gear assemblies A and B are not
relevant providing the timing marks are orientated as shown and one
of each (A & B) assembly is present.

REPLACING LOAD CHAIN
To replace the load chain, remove the lower hook block and chain
stop from the chain. Move the directional lever to the neutral "N" and
pull the old chain out of the hoist. Feed a length of soft wire through
one side of the chain guide and over the liftwheel until it comes out
on the other side of the chain guide. Attach the wire to the end of the
new chain. Position the chain so that the first link to enter the chain
guide will be an upstanding link and the welds on all upstanding
links will be away from the liftwheel. Pull on the wire until the chain
engages the liftwheel. Turn the free chaining knob, while pulling on
the wire, until the chain comes out of the chain guide. Pull the chain
through and remove the wire. Attach the lower hook block to the
chain that is directly below the upper hook.

OPTIONAL LOAD LIMITER
The Bandit lever hoist has an optional load limiter. The load limiter
is a device that is designed and calibrated to prevent excessive
overloads. Excessive overload is indicated by lever movement
without the corresponding movement of the lower hook block
or load when the unit is operated in the "Up" direction. Should
overload be evident, immediately switch the lever to "down" position
and operate the lever to remove the excess load from the units.
The reduction of the load to the rated capacity or less will result in
automatic restoration to the normal operation of the unit.
CAUTION
The load limiter is subject to overheating and wear when excessively
actuated. For this reason, once overloading is detected, the excess
load must be removed and normal operation restored without
continued undue operation.
The Load Limiter is designed to operate dry, without lubrication.
To ensure proper operation, do NOT apply lubricant to the friction
surfaces or to adjacent parts of the load limiter.
TESTING
During the periodic inspection, we recommended to test the load
limiter. To perform this test, attach the lower hook to a load of
maximum 200% of rated capacity and operate the unit in the "Up"
direction. When attempting to lift the load, the lever should slip.
After this test, move the trigger to the down position and operate the
unit to remove the tension from the units. Once tension is released,
the unit should return to normal operation. If the load does not slip
@ 200% of capacity, the load limiter needs to be replaced.
RECOMMENDED SPARE PARTS
Ratchet Disc Assembly
Latch Kit
Upper & Lower Hook Assembly
Alterations or modifications of equipment and use of any
parts other than CM Bandit lever hoist repair parts can lead to
dangerous operation and injury.
TO AVOID INJURY:
Do not alter or modify equipment. Do use only CM Bandit
provided replacement parts.
