Periodically, depending upon severity of service, the following items should also be inspected. These are in addition to those previously listed.

a.Check all load-supporting members, including Chain, Pocket Wheel and Chain Guides, for excessive wear or damage.

b.Inspect top and bottom hooks with a magnetic particle or other suitable crack detector.

c.Hook retaining nuts or collars along with their locking members and support bearings should be inspected. Proper inspec- tion will require disassembly.

d.Check and clean the brake parts each time the Hoist is disassembled. Replace the brake disc if the thickness is less than

.090 in (2.286 mm).

e.At least once yearly disassemble the Hoist and check for worn gearing, bearings and shafts. The parts should be cleaned, lubricated and reassembled. Replace worn parts.
