Maintenance and inspection
WARNING
;
Inspect the Air Hoist regularly.
・
To operate the hoist safely, it is necessary to obey the crane safety regulations and also perform
daily inspections, monthly inspections and annual inspections. If the hoist is not inspected on a
regular basis this may lead to damage to the hoist and result in personal injury.
★
DAILY INSPECTION
1.
Inspection of the air pressure and oil.
Confirm the hoist is operating at 0.6 MPa air pressure. Also make sure the line oiler is
operating correctly. If oil lacks to the motor, this will lead to early wear of the motor parts.
2.
Inspect the hook and hook claw;
If the hook is unable to rotate the chain may become twisted and the load may rotate leading
to danger. Also make sure the safety hook is working correctly or it will be very dangerous.
3.
Is the chain lubricated
WARNING
;
Always keep chain lubricated.
・
Without sufficient lubricant, chain wears fast and it leads chain breakage. This may result in serious
accidents.
Lubricate chain links and sprockets contacting part on both Load Sheave and Free
Chain Wheel with Fricttle 2 (liquid type, Rix Corporation product) in every 300 cycles.
Make sure
to lubricate chain when it is dry even before reaching 300 cycles.
Viscogen KL300 (Castrol .Ltd product) can be used instead of Fricttle 2 in a light use, less than
30 cycles a day. In this case lubricate chain every 30 cycles.
Spray type is recommended for easy lubricating.
4.
Does the hoist operate smoothly without abnormal sounds?
Stop the hoist if you hear any abnormal sounds coming when the hoist is operating
★
MONTHLY INSPECTION
(Inspect the hoist every 1 month, 60 hours or 6,000 cycles,
whichever comes first.)
1.
Inspection of the chain (For damage and elongation)
Inspect the chain according to the maintenance manual.
If the chain is out of tolerance, stop operation and replace the chain.
This may lead to breakage and is dangerous.
2.
Check if the brake is operating correctly.
Check the operation of the brake. If the load slips contact your dealer or distribution for repair.
It is dangerous to continue the use of the hoist in these conditions.
