MAINTENANCE CHECKLIST
All of the following wear points should be checked on a daily, weekly or monthly basis (as indicated) and recorded on the
checklist enclosed:
Check connector pins and all bolts and nuts. Make certain connector pins are completely through both sides of frame. If
nuts are found to be loose, tighten before further use.
Try to turn the eye bolt on a
DAILY
basis. If it turns at all, remove the eye bolt, coupling nut and lock nuts. Clean each piece
and then re-install per the directions using Loctite 242 threadlocker.
Check all nuts and bolts making certain that they are tight on a weekly basis.
WARNING:
Check eye bolt for wear and movement. If more than 30% of the thickness of the eye bolt is worn away (See fig.
1), discontinue use until replaced. If the eyebolt moves excessively, discontinue use until all hardware is checked and tight-
ened
.
Check the vinyl covers for tears or loose stitches. If tears or loose stitches are found, discontinue use until repaired.
A small amount of grease at the point where the eye bolt and safety snap connect will greatly extend the life of the eye bolt
and safety snap.
MATTING PRECAUTIONS:
Always use appropriate matting.
