HANGING INSTRUCTIONS
•
Clip the Safety Rotational Device to your suspension system with a
Southpaw Safety Snap (# 2000) through the eye bolt on the top of the
Safety Rotational Device. The Southpaw Label should be facing in a
readable position when used in a permanent location.
The Safety
Rotational Device
must
be hung in this manner to prevent dust, dirt,
and debris from entering the bearing area.
•
Hang your suspended equipment from the Safety Snap attached to the
Safety Rotational Device.
•
When using equipment with a Southpaw Safety Rotational Device
permanently attached, such as the Southpaw Bolster or Twirler, use the
Rotational Device as attached.
MAINTENANCE CHECKLIST
All of the following wear points should be checked on a monthly basis and recorded on the checklist enclosed. If re-
placement is necessary, contact Southpaw for replacement immediately.
•
Remove the Rotational Device from the equipment and/or eyebolts. Remove the Southpaw Safety Snap from the
Rotational Device.
•
You may use an aerosol dust remover or very clean compressed air to blow out any dust from inside the rotational
housing.
•
Visually inspect the "eye" of the eyebolt. If the "eye" has a worn through 30% of the thickness of the steel, discon-
tinue use and replace.
•
Visually inspect the round "pin" which goes through the housing of the rotational on the side opposite from the
"eye". If it is bent at all, discontinue use and replace. Note: This pin is made of hardened steel, and it is unlikely
that it will be worn.
If
it is worn, it will bend before it breaks. So a bent "pin"
is
worn.
•
Grasp the "eye" of the Rotational Device in one hand, and the housing in the other. Pull them as if trying to sepa-
rate them and, while pulling, twist them in opposite directions a few times. The sensation you feel should be one of
smooth spinning. This indicates that the bearing is intact. If you feel any grittiness or grinding, then the bearing
may be compromised and the Rotational Device should be replaced.
Warning: Failure to properly install a forged
steel eyebolt
(1/2”
or
5/8”)
may result in serious
injury or death. If you have any questions
about the installation of the forged steel
eyebolt, please contact Southpaw Enterprises
