section 5: maintenance
!
always disconnect poWer before
servicing, adjusting, or doing main-
tenance to reduce the risk of acci-
dental injury or electrocution.
Check mounting hardware daily before
use for cracks, unsafe wear, deformation,
or warping. do not attempt to fix the
mounting hardware! discard and replace
all damaged mounting hardware. Check
daily for loose pins, rings, screws, wires
and safety latches. tighten or replace
any loose items. Check daily for damage
or fraying along the length of the cable.
damaged or loose parts may cause the
load to fall and may result in serious injury.
Check that the microswitch is functioning
daily before use.
never leave a load or hoisting equipment
on the hoist when not in use. this may
cause excessive strain on the hoist and
cable and may shorten the life of your hoist
and cable.
if the hoist becomes dirty, wipe it down
with a damp soft cloth and thoroughly
dry all surfaces. do not use solvents,
chemicals, or other corrosive materials to
clean the hoist.
general
lubrication
Lightly oil the hoist cable with a light oil to
inhibit rust and reduce friction, depending
on frequency of use and environment. if
the cable becomes wet during use, dry the
cable and lightly oil before retracting the
cable back onto the spool.
