Inspections
Before the start of each work period, the person operating the Hoist should:
Ensure the work area is clean and well arranged.
Check the electric cable and plug for damage.
Check the wire rope for damage and wear. Run the hook down to the ground and then, using gloves, pull out the wire rope
while pressing the DOWN button. Once all the rope has been withdrawn, inspect the rope looking for kinks, bends, twists
flattened areas or other defects. Do not use the Hoist if the wire rope is damaged. Rewind the wire rope onto the winch drum,
keeping tension on the wire rope so that it wraps tightly and neatly. Ensure kinks or bends are not put into the wire rope
during this process. Untidy loosely wrapped wire rope can lead to damage or failure of the wire rope.
Check the hook and safety latch. Ensure the latch closes properly below the hook tip.
Inspect the mounting of the Hoist and ensure all fittings are tight and/or secured. Ensure the locking pin on the mounting
Yoke is in place and locked.
Inspect the load carrying devices and ensure they are undamaged.
Check the operation of the Upper Travel Limit Switch.
Ensure barricading and signage is present and legible.
