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.

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.
