Maintain written records of periodic inspections to provide an accumulative basis for
continuing evaluation. Inspect all items listed in ‘Frequent Inspection‘ in the Product
Information Manual. Also inspect the following at the suggested intervals
recommended in Table 5 ‘Maintenance Interval Chart’ on page 3.
1.
Fasteners.
Check all rivets, split pins, capscrews and nuts. Replace if missing or
tighten if loose.
2.
All Components.
Inspect for wear, damage, distortion, deformations and
cleanliness. If external evidence indicates damage, disassemble as required to
conduct a detailed inspection. Check gears, shafts, bearings, sheaves, chain
guides, springs and covers. Replace worn or damaged parts. Clean, lubricate and
reassemble.
3.
Hooks.
Inspect hooks carefully for cracks using magnetic particle or other
suitable non-destructive method. Inspect hook retaining parts. Tighten or repair
if necessary.

4.
Load Chain Sprocket.
Check for damage or excessive wear. Replace if necessary.
Observe the action of load chain feeding through hoist. Do not operate a hoist
unless load chain feeds through hoist and hook block smoothly and without
audible clicking or other evidence of binding or malfunctioning.
5.
Motor.
If performance is poor, disassemble motor and check for wear or damage
to bearings and shafts. Parts should be cleaned, lubricated and reassembled.
Replace worn or damaged parts.
6.
Brake.
Raise a load equal to rated capacity of hoist a few inches (cms) off the
floor. Verify hoist holds the load without drift. If drift occurs, disassemble.
Remove brake discs as described in “MAINTENANCE” on page 6. Check and clean
brake parts each time hoist is disassembled. Replace brake discs if grooves are
no longer visible.
WARNING
• Worn or improperly functioning brakes may cause excessive heat build up
and sparks.
7.
Supporting Structure.
Check for distortion, wear and continued ability to support
hoist and rated load.
8.
Trolley
(if equipped). Check that the trolley wheels track beam properly and
trolley is correctly adjusted in accordance with manufacturer's literature. Check
that wheels and beam are not excessively worn and inspect side plates for
spreading due to bending. Do not operate hoist until problem has been
determined and corrected.
9.
Load Chain End Anchors.
Ensure both ends of load chain are securely attached.
Secure if loose, repair if damaged, replace if missing. Check chain stoppers are
correctly installed and functional.
10.
Load Chain.
Check the chain for stretching. Measure the load chain over five link
sections all along chain, paying particular attention to the most frequently reeved
links. Refer to Dwg. MHP0041 on page 2,
A.
Gauge Length. When any five links
in the working length reaches or exceeds the discard length, replace entire chain.
Refer to Table 4 ‘Load Chain Normal and Discard Length’ on page 2. Always use
genuine
Ingersoll Rand
replacement chain. Zinc plated load chain is standard on
Liftchain hoists.

Chain Container.
(optional feature) Check for damage or excessive wear and that
chain container is securely attached to the hoist. Secure or replace if necessary.
12.
Limit Switch.
Check limit switches function correctly.
13.
Emergency Stop.
During hoist operation verify emergency shut-off by activating
button. All operation must stop quickly. Stop button must reset properly.
14.
Labels and Tags.
Check for presence and legibility. Replace if necessary.
n
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 of the condition of critical parts as a method of documenting
periodic inspection. These reports should be dated, signed by the person who
performed the inspection, and kept on file where they are readily available for review.
n
Maintenance Intervals
Refer to ’Periodic Maintenance’ and Table 5 on page 3 for maintenance interval
guidance.
