SECTION 5: MAINTENANCE
GeneralLubrication
Check mounting hardware daily before use for cracks, unsafe wear, deformation, or warping. DO NOT attempt to fix the mounting hardware! Discard and replace all damaged mounting hardware. Check daily for loose pins, rings, screws, wires and safety latches. Tighten or replace any loose items. Check daily for damage or fraying along the length of the cable. Damaged or loose parts may cause the load to fall and may result in serious injury. Check that the microswitch is functioning daily before use.
Never leave a load or hoisting equipment on the hoist when not in use. This may cause excessive strain on the hoist and cable and may shorten the life of your hoist and cable.
If the hoist becomes dirty, wipe it down with a damp soft cloth and thoroughly dry all surfaces. DO NOT use solvents, chemicals, or other corrosive materials to clean the hoist.
Lightly oil the hoist cable with a light oil to inhibit rust and reduce friction, depending on frequency of use and environment. If the cable becomes wet during use, dry the cable and lightly oil before retracting the cable back onto the spool.
!
Always DISCONNECT POWER before servicing, adjusting, or doing main- tenance to reduce the risk of acci- dental injury or electrocution.
