Inspecting the Key Parts of the Loadbuster Loadbreak Tool
Step 22
Chassis Inspection
Clean the chassis with a cloth and household detergent to
remove grease or dirt. DO NOT soak the chassis in water
or detergent solution. Replace the shunt strap if it is badly
burned. Check the hook frame assembly springs to make
sure they are in good condition and hold tension. Replace
the springs if necessary. The hook frame assembly should
move approximately 65° “in and out” and “side to side”
approximately 35° in each direction. Contact your local
S&C Sales Office if the chassis does not rotate properly.
Replace any missing or faded product labels. See Figure
26 and refer to page 4.

Step 24
Silencer Inspection
Check the silencer to make sure the snubber (gasket) is in
good condition. Also look inside and make sure there is no
corrosion and that the mesh is in good condition. Push the
pin that actuates the counter. The counter should advance
to the next “operation number.” Replace the silencer if there
is any evidence of damage. See Figure 28.
