Hoists not in Regular Service
1. A hoist that has been idle for a period of one month or more,
but less than one year should be given an inspection
conforming with requirements of “Frequent Inspection”
before being placed in service.
2. A hoist that has been idle for a period of more than one year
should be given a complete inspection conforming with
requirements of “Periodic Inspection” before being placed in
service.
3. Standby hoists should be inspected at least semiannually in
accordance with requirements of “Frequent Inspection.” In
abnormal operating conditions equipment should be
inspected at shorter intervals.
TROUBLESHOOTING
This section provides basic troubleshooting information. Specific causes to problems are best identified by thorough inspections performed
by personnel instructed in safety, operation and maintenance of this equipment. The chart below provides a brief guide to common hoist
symptoms, probable causes and remedies.
LUBRICATION
General
Thread lubricant or an anti-seize compound use is recommended
for threaded shafts, capscrews and nuts. Unless otherwise stated,
remove old lubricant, clean part with an acid free solvent and
apply a new coating of lubricant to part before assembly.
Gears (11 and 14)
Remove U-nuts (40), on opposite side of hoist as the hand chain,
and remove gear cover (17) and support plate (16). Remove old
grease and replace with new. For temperatures -20° to 50° F (-29°
to 10° C) use EP 1 grease or equivalent. For temperatures 30° to
120° F (-1° to 49° C) use EP 2 grease or equivalent.
