Check ceiling eye bolt for wear and movement. Use a Southpaw Safety Rotational Device to prevent
abnormal wear.
Floor mats of proper thickness should be positioned properly under and around all suspended
equipment.
CAUTION
•
Hold the Rotational Device by the "eye", or hang it from an eyebolt. Spin the rotational quickly. It should spin freely.
If it spins, but then abruptly stops, then there is a contaminant in the bearing mechanism and the Rotational Device
should be replaced.
•
You may find that a dry bearing can squeak when turned in this fashion.. If that happens, spray a small amount of a
very light lubricant (WD
-
40 or a silicone spray lubricant will work fine) into the housing . Try to spray as deep down
as you can, so that the lubricant goes all the way to the bearing. Spin the Rotational Device a few time to work the
lubricant in. Now try the "Twist" test again. If the bearing feels smooth when turning and pulling, the bearing is in-
tact.
•
A monthly application of a light lubricant as described above will help extend the useful life of the Rotational Device,
but is not necessary for it to function properly.
