- Use appropriate hooks or fittings rated to your chain size, and avoid pulling from sharp edges or corners that could nick the links.
- Avoid overloading beyond the stated 4700 capacity; distribute weight evenly and use multiple chains for very heavy loads.
- Store in the included bucket to protect the finish and keep track of lengths and quantities on-site.
