Records and Reports
Inspection records, listing all points requiring periodic inspection should be maintained for all load bearing equipment.
Written reports, based on severity of service, should be made on the condition of critical parts as a method of
documenting periodic inspections. These reports should be dated, signed by the person who performed the inspection,
and kept on file where they are readily available for review.
LUBRICATION
To ensure continued satisfactory operation of the hoist, all points requiring lubrication must be serviced with correct
lubricant at the proper time interval as indicated for each assembly. Lubrication intervals recommended in the
Maintenance manual are based on intermittent service run time and if the hoist is operated more frequently a more
frequent lubrication schedule will be required. Also, lubricant types and change intervals are based on operation in
an environment relatively free of dust, moisture, and corrosive fumes. Use only those lubricants recommended. Other
lubricants may affect performance of hoist. Failure to observe this precaution may result in damage to the hoist and
it's associated components.
Thread lubricant or an antiseize compound use is recommended for threaded shafts, capscrews and nuts. Unless
otherwise stated, remove old lubricant, clean the part with an acid free solvent and apply a new coating of lubricant
to the part before assembly.
