GRT880 OPERATOR MANUAL

SAFETY INFORMATION

2

ASME and similar organizations. See the 

Service

Manual

 for inspection procedures.

When inspecting ropes and attachments, keep all parts
of your body and clothing away from rotating hoist drums
and all rotating sheaves. Never handle the rope with
bare hands.

Some conditions that lead to problems in wire rope
systems include:

-

Sheaves  that  are  too  small,  worn  or  corrugated
cause damage to a wire rope.

-

Broken wires mean a loss in strength.

-

Kinks  permanently  damage  a  rope  and  must  be
avoided.

-

Ropes are damaged by knots. Rope with knots must
never be used.

-

Environmental factors such as corrosive conditions
and heat can damage a wire rope.

-

Lack  of  lubrication  can  significantly  shorten  the
useful life of a wire rope.

-

Contact with electrical wires and resulting arcing will
damage a wire rope.

•

An inspection should include verification that none of the
specified removal criteria for this usage are met by
checking for such things as:

-

Surface wear; nominal and unusual.

-

Broken wires; number and location.

-

Reduction in diameter.

-

Rope stretch (elongation).

-

Integrity of end attachments.

-

Evidence of abuse or contact with another object.

-

Heat damage.

-

Corrosion.

NOTE:

A more detailed rope inspection procedure is given
in the 

Service Manual

.

•

When a rope has been removed from service
because it is no longer suitable for use, it must not
be reused on another application.

Installing a new rope

•

Keep  all  parts  of  your  body  and  clothing  away  from
rotating hoist drums and all rotating sheaves.

•

Never handle the wire rope with bare hands.

•

Follow proper instructions for removing rope from a reel.

•

Apply back tension to the storage/payoff reel of the new
rope to ensure tight, even, spooling onto the hoist drum.

•

Operate  the  new  rope—first  through  several  cycles  at
light load—then through several cycles at intermediate
load, to allow the rope to adjust to operating conditions.
