6.2 - Inspection
6.2.1 VISUAL INSPECTION:
A complete visual inspection should be performed on the hoist prior to using. The following items should be checked:
1.
Labels:
Check that all the labels are clean and legible. The PHQR series hoist has 3 labels and a serial number decal.
Clean the labels if any are dirty using mild soap and a damp cloth. Replace if any are illegible. Refer to section
2.1 and 3.0 for specific locations of serial number plate and labels.
2.
Fasteners:
Check that all screws and other fasteners are tight. Tighten if any are loose. Replace if any are missing.
3.
Frame:
Check the frame and housing for cracks, dents, bends or breaks. If there are major dents or any other structural
damage, the unit should be removed from service and returned to the factory for repair.
4.
Crank Handle:
Check that each handle on the crank arm is tight. If the crank arm is bent or damaged, remove hoist from service.
Do not use hoist unless crank arm is fully functional.
5.
Corrosion:
Check all components for damage from corrosion. Although all components resist corrosion, working in corrosive
environments can lead to damage. Inspect the mounting surfaces and fasteners for signs of damage. If damage
is found, remove from service and return to the factory for repair.
6.
Connectors:
Check the rope collar and clamp for signs of wear, distortion or fraying. Remove from service and return to the
factory for repair if any problems are found.
Check the gate and gate lock on the snap hook. Both must open and close easily. See Figure 6b. If they do not,
remove from service and return to the factory for service.
