4.4 Principle and Operation of the Slip Clutch
: IMPROPER chain hoist use could result in death or serious injury. To avoid these hazards: : NEVER disassemble or attempt to adjust the slip clutchassemby. Any attempt to do so will void
the warranty. Contact your closest Harrington Distributor if service is required.
The standard slip clutch device prevents the hoist from being used to lift damaging loads beyond the rated capacity of
the manual chain hoist. When an applied load exceeds the preset value, the hand chain wheel rotates idly. The
mechanism is a friction clutch system located between the hand chain wheel and the mechanical brake.

For longer life, the load chain should be lubricated.
The load chain lubrication should be accomplished after cleaning the load chain with an acid free
cleaning solution.
Apply Harrington lubricating grease (Part No. ER1BS1951) or an equivalent to industrial general
lithium grease, NLGI No. 0, to the bearing surfaces of the load chain links as indicated by the
shaded areas in Figure 6-1. Also apply the grease to the areas of the load chain (shaded areas in
Figure 6-1) that contact the load sheave. Insure that the grease is applied to the contact areas in
the load sheave pockets.
Machine or gear oil (grade ISO VG 46 or 68 oil or equivalent) may be used as an alternative
lubricant but must be applied more frequently.
Figure 6-1 Chain Grease Application
The chain should be lubricated every 3 months (more frequently for heavier usage or severe
conditions).
For dusty environments, it is acceptable to substitute a dry lubricant.
6.1.2 Hooks and Suspension Components:
