EXTERIOR FINISH
The exterior surfaces of the chain blocks have a durable, scratch resistant
finish. Normally, the exterior surfaces can be cleaned by wiping with a cloth.
RECOMMENDED SPARE PARTS
To insure continued operation it is recommended that two friction washers
for each 3S chain block in service, Key no ‘P’, be kept on hand at all times to
replace friction washers that are worn, contaminated or glazed. Contact your
nearest Beaver Sales office for details.
PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
In addition to the periodic inspection procedure, a preventative maintenance
program should be established to prolong the useful life of the chain block and
maintain its dependability and continued safe use. The program should include
the periodic inspections with particular attention being paid to the lubrication
of various components using the recommended lubricants.
TESTING
Before using, all altered, repaired or used chain blocks that have not been
operated for the previous 12 months, should be tested by the user for proper
operation.
First test the unit without a load and then with a light load of 20 kg to be sure
that the chain block operates properly and that the brake holds the load when
the hand chain is released.
Next test with a load of 100% rated capacity.
In addition, chain blocks in which load sustaining parts have been replaced
should be tested with 100% of rated capacity by or under the direction of an
appointed person and a written report prepared for record purposes.
ORDERING INFORMATION
The following information must accompany all correspondence
or repair parts orders:
• Chain Block capacity
• Serial Number - stamped on the capacity label
For parts orders also specify:
• Quantity desired
• Key number of part
• Part name
• Part number
When ordering replacement parts, consideration should be given to the
need to replace other items, (springs, fasteners etc) and items that may
be damaged or lost during disassembly or just unfit for future use because
of deterioration from age or service.
Parts should be ordered from Beaver Sales Australia or Beaver’s Service
Agents. Using ‘commercial’ or other manufacturer’s parts to repair the
Beaver 3S Chain Block may cause load loss.
WARNING
TO AVOID INJURY
