STARTER SWITCH ASSEMBLY 40 AMP

Product Description

 The Kito Chain Stopper is a genuine OEM replacement component designed for use in Kito EP Series electric chain hoists at the EP1 configuration, identified by part number EP1CS2472. The chain stopper is a critical safety component integrated into the load chain assembly of the electric chain hoist, functioning as a mechanical end stop that prevents the load chain from running completely through the hoist body during lowering operations. By arresting chain travel at the lower limit of the hoist's rated lift range, the chain stopper protects the internal chain guide, load sheave, and chain pocket from damage caused by chain run-through, and prevents the accidental release of the lower hook and attached load.

The chain stopper is subject to wear and mechanical stress over its service life through repeated contact with the hoist body at the end of each lowering cycle, vibration from powered hoist operation, and the cumulative effects of industrial operating environments. In high-cycle applications or hoists that have seen extended service, the chain stopper should be inspected regularly for deformation, cracking, wear at the contact surfaces, and any signs of fatigue that could compromise its ability to arrest chain travel reliably. A damaged or missing chain stopper must be replaced immediately, as operating a hoist without a functional chain stopper creates a risk of chain run-through and uncontrolled load release.

Using a genuine Kito OEM Chain Stopper identified by part number EP1CS2472 ensures the replacement component is dimensionally correct for the EP1 Series hoist body and chain pitch, and manufactured to the same material and performance specifications as the original part. Replacement must be performed by a qualified hoist technician familiar with Kito EP Series service procedures, and the hoist must be fully inspected, electrically tested, function tested, and load tested before returning to service.
