INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
Prior to initial use, all new, modified, and repaired hoists shall be inspected in accordance with Table 2. Thereafter, inspections
shall be conducted at intervals shown in Table 1; and items to be inspected are indicated in Table 2 by F (Frequent) or P
(Periodic).
Frequent Inspections
- Visual inspection by the oeprator or other authorized person. This inspection includes listening for
unusual sounds while the hoist is operated that may indicate deficiencies.
Periodic Inspections
- Audible-visual inspection as for Frequent Inspections, with some disassembly to allow a more detailed
inspection if external conditions indicate the need.
Exception
: Brakes require more than audible-visual inspection. Check daily by operating hoist with and without load, stopping at
various positions to test holding power and amount of drift, if any occurs. TO ADJUST BRAKE (Refer to Figure 1):
1. Fully tighten nut to position A.
2. Slack off nut from position A to position B and insert cotter key.
