Cleaning, Maintenance, and Lubrication
Procedures not specifically explained in this manual
must be performed only by a qualified technician.
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM TOOL FAILURE:
Do not use damaged equipment. If abnormal noise or vibration
occurs, have the problem corrected before further use.
CAUTION! To prevent injury:
Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles and heavy-duty leather work gloves
during inspection and maintenance, especially near the wire rope.
1.
BEFORE EACH USE,
inspect the general condition
of the tool. Check for loose screws, wire rope
fraying and other wire rope wear, misalignment or
binding of moving parts, cracked or broken parts and
any other condition that may affect its safe operation.
2. Inspect the tool before beginning work each day.
Have the Wire Rope replaced immediately
as soon as wear is detected.
WARNING!
A Wire Rope breaking while under
load can cause serious personal injury and
property damage. Broken Wire Rope strands
are sharp and can cause puncture injuries.
WARNING!
Do not lubricate any part of the
Winch components. The Brake is friction
based and may fail if lubricated.
3. Occasionally oil the Caster Wheel bearings.
4. If the telescoping sections do not slide
freely, apply paraffin wax or candle
wax to the sides as a lubricant.
Wire Rope Safety Information
1. Since the safe operation of this Hoist depends
on safe maintenance of the steel Wire Rope,
it is important that you carefully monitor and
maintain the included Wire Rope. Have the Wire
Rope replaced by a qualified technician as soon
as it has any fault, defect or noticeable wear.
2. The American Society of Mechanical Engineers
lists standards for the safe use of wire rope in
its standard numbered ASME B30 19-2000.
This standard is available to the public, and we
strongly suggest you become familiar with it.
3. The following does not replace the information
found in ASME B30 19-2000, but paraphrases some
of the important information contained therein.
a. Inspection should be made at least once every
work day. Inspector should look for damage to
the wire rope, such as crushing, kinking, broken
strands, corrosion etc. Particular attention should
be paid to undue wear and stress points, such
as near pulleys, crimped ends, hooks, etc.
b. Wire ropes should be taken out of service if
discovered to be damaged, and must be replaced
before resuming use of the affected tool.
4. The wire rope must be replaced with one
of identical diameter and construction. The
wire rope provided with this Hoist is suited
to the purpose, and any replacement must
be at least to the original standard.
