OK Inspection/Action
Scheduled Maintenance
Be sure that all daily and weekly inspection and maintenance
have been completed.
Gearbox
Completely remove the gearbox from climbing unit. Check
over entire gear box for excessive wear, oil leaks, or any
damage. Check to ensure input shaft and output gears are not
sloppy around the bearings. Call your dealer or ReechCraft for
replacement parts. Inspect drive gear for wear. If gear tooth
profile is not symmetrical on 1 or more teeth, or there appears
to be any damage to the gear, discard and replace immediately.
Verify the clutch force of the gearbox. Be sure that all bearings,
guides, and gearbox gears are functioning properly. Erect a
single mast assembly with climbing unit next to a structure.
Taking all necessary safety precautions and with the climbing
unit less than 0.5 m off the ground, load 1000 lbs and secure
to the unit (no work platforms etc.). Make sure you can lift
approximately 1000 lbs without stalling. If not, call your dealer
or contact ReechCraft for recommendations or service parts.
Overspeed Brake
Remove the overspeed brake from the climbing unit to allow
for complete inspection. Thoroughly inspect the inside and
outside of the assembly for any missing, damaged, worn, or
otherwise deficient parts. Be sure all bolt and pin connections
are secure. Rotate the locking pawls back and forth to ensure
they move freely and that the springs are functioning properly.
While holding the assembly, move the drive gear back and forth
and different speeds. In one direction, the assembly should
continue to ratchet without engaging the locking pawls. In the
other direction, when you rapidly rotate the drive gear, 1 of the
2 pawls should engage the cam follower, stopping the drive
gear.
