Using your Jet 212000 electric chain hoist is easy. First, make sure it's properly installed and the power supply matches the motor voltage requirements (115/230V for this 1 - phase model). When you're ready to lift, use the 24 - volt push - button control pendant. Remember, the hoist has an overload protection feature, so don't try to lift loads heavier than its 2 - ton capacity. The limit switches are there to prevent the load chain from over - traveling, so let them do their job. As for maintenance, you're in luck! The sealed gear train with a sealed oil bath means you don't have to worry about regular upkeep. However, it's a good idea to periodically check the load chain, especially the Grade 80 black oxide - coated one, for any signs of wear. Also, keep the hoist clean and dry to avoid damage from moisture, dust, and debris. If you experience any power issues, the thermal overload protection in single - phase models and the reverse phase relay in three - phase models are there to protect the hoist. But if you have any doubts or problems, it's always best to consult a professional.
