1
Failure
of
a

rope
may
cause
death
or
serious
injury.
A
wire
rope
will
fail
if
worn
out,
shock
loaded,
overloaded,
miss
‐
used,
damaged,
abused
or
improperly
maintained.
Information
on
care,
maintenance,
installation,
examination
and
discard
of
wire
ropes
can
be
found
in
BS
ISO
4309:2004
and
/
or
BS

‐
1:2006.
The
competent
person
should
hold
a
copy
of
these
documents.
1
Do
not
replace
a
rope
or
any
rope
fittings
with
anything
other
than
to
the
original
specification.
This
applies
equally
to
the
rope
length
as
well
as
its
construction.
The
Rope
Data
Plate
is
located
in
the
vicinity
of
the
Hoist
Nameplate
(see
2.1)
and
contains
all
the
required
rope
replacement
information.
5.8.1
Offloading
and
Storage
Care
of
a
new
rope
begins
immediately
upon
receipt.
Use
wide
textile
webbing
slings
or
lift
on
the
rope
drum
to
avoid
direct
contact
with
the
rope.
Inspect
the
rope
upon
receipt
and
ensure
that
the
details
on
the
certificate
and
other
documents
are
correct.
Clearly
label
the
rope
and
ensure
that
it
is
traceable
to
its
certificate
and
/
or
other
documents.
Steel
wire
ropes
should
be
stored
in
a
clean,
cool,
dry
place,
indoors
and
away
from
corrosive
and
damp
atmospheres.
Do
not
let
the
rope
rest
directly
on
the
floor
allow
air
to
circulate
around
the
reel.
Cover
with
a
breathable
cover
that
prevents
condensation.
Inspect
the
rope
periodically
and
if
necessary,
apply
a
suitable
dressing
that
is
compatible
with
the
manufacturer’s
lubricant
see
section
5.7.1.
When
removing
from
storage,
check
that
no
accidental
damage
has
occurred
and
that
there
are
no
signs
of
corrosion.
Ensure
the
rope
certificate
is
available
and
retain
this
in
a
safe
place,
it
will
be
required
when
periodic
examinations
are
carried
out.
5.8.2
Replacing
the
Wire
Rope
1
Removal
and
replacing
the
wire
rope
is
most
effectively
carried
out
with
the
power
to
the
hoist
unit
switched
ON
so
all
work
must
be
carried
out
with
extreme
care.
Suitable
safety
precautions
should
be
made
to
ensure
that
other
motions
are
not
accidentally
activated,
i.e.
isolate
any
travel
motions.
It
may
be
necessary
to
adjust
the
lower
limit
to
allow
the
block
to
lower
to
ground
level.
NOTE:
The
upper
and
lower
limit
will
require
resetting
after
completion
of
new
rope
installation.
5.8.2.1
Removing
the
Rope
and
Rope
Guide
Lower
the
bottom
block
down
to
the
lowest
possible
level
and
allow
the
block
to
rest
on
a
solid
support
(floor
or
platform).
Remove
the
rope
guide
Retainer
from
both
of
the
rope
guides
and
release
the
four
screws
in
each
one
at
the
rope
guide
joint.
Take
care
to
ensure
the
lower
half
of
the
guide
does
not
fall.
Release
the
two
screws
joining
the
two
halves
of
the
inner
bands
and
remove
the
inner
bands.
Retain
all
screws,
washers,
spacers
and
springs.
Run
the
remaining
rope
off
the
barrel
and
through
the
sheaves
keeping
tension
on
the
rope
as
it
is
being
run
off.
Release
the
rope
anchors
on
the
barrel.
5.8.2.2
Fitting
New
Wire
Rope
1
Fitting
the
wire
rope
is
most
effectively
carried
out
with
the
power
to
the
hoist
unit
switched
ON
so
all
work
must
be
carried
out
with
extreme
care.
Suitable
safety
precautions
should
be
made
to
ensure
that
other
motions
are
not
accidentally
activated,
i.e.
isolate
any
travel
motions.
Fitting
of
a
new
rope
must
be
carried
out
by
a
competent
person.
Before
installation
check
that
all
sheaves
are
free
running
and
rope
grooves
in
sheaves
and
drums
are
in
good
condition.
Groove
profiles
should
be
circular,
smooth
and
free
from
ridges
(see
5.9.1).
Check
that
the
correct
rope
has
been
ordered
/
taken
out
of
storage.
Examine
the
rope
visually
to
ensure
that
there
is
no
damage
or
corrosion
on
the
rope.
Prepare
a
safe
and
clean
working
area
to
avoid
contaminating
the
rope
with
any
dirt
or
moisture.
