© 2020 ALL MATERIAL HANDLING
Disassembly may be required for HEAVY or SEVERE usage. Keep accumulative written records of
periodic inspections to provide a basis
for continuing evaluation. Inspect all items in “Frequent
Inspection.” Also inspect the following:
1. FASTENERS. Check rivets, capscrews, nuts, cotter pins and other fasteners on hooks, hoist body
and chain bucket, if used. Replace if missing and tighten or secure if loose.
2. ALL COMPONENTS. Inspect for wear, damage, distortion, deformation and cleanliness. If external
evidence indicates the need for additional inspection return the hoist to your nearest service repair
center.
3. HOOKS. Inspect hooks for cracks. Use magnetic particle or dye penetrant to check for cracks.
Inspect hook retaining parts. Tighten or repair, if necessary. Refer to applicable specifications for
additional hook inspection information.
4. CHAIN SHEAVES. Check for damage or excessive wear. If damage or wear is noted, return the
hoist to your nearest service repair center.
5. LOAD CHAIN. Measure the chain for stretching by measuring across five link sections all along the
chain (ref. Dwg. C-01). When any five links in the working length reach or exceed the discard length
shown in Table, replace the entire chain. Always use a genuine
AMH
replacement chain.
6. BRAKES. Raise a load equal to the rated capacity of the hoist a few centimeters (inches) off the
floor. Verify hoist holds the load without drift. If drift occurs, contact your nearest service repair
center for repair information.
7. SUPPORTING STRUCTURE. If a permanent structure is used inspect for continued ability to
support load.
8. LABELS AND TAGS. Check for presence and legibility. Replace if necessary.
9. END ANCHOR. Ensure end anchor on hoist is installed and unbent. Repair if damaged, replace if
missing.
Hoists not in Regular Service
1. Hoists which have been idle for a period of one month or more, but less than one year should be
given an inspection conforming with the requirements of "Frequent Inspection" before being placed
in service.
2. Hoists which have been idle for a period of more than one year should be given a complete
inspection conforming with the requirements of "Periodic Inspection" before being placed in service.
3. Standby hoists should be inspected at least semi-annually in accordance with the requirements of
"Frequent Inspection." In abnormal operating conditions equipment should be inspected at shorter
intervals.
Lubrication
General
The use of thread lubricant or anti-seize compound is recommended for threaded components. Unless
otherwise stated, remove old lubricant, clean the part with an acid free solvent and apply a new coating
of lubricant to the part before assembly.
Gears
Unscrew nuts on the opposite side of the hoist as the hand chain, and remove gear cover and support
plate. Remove old grease and replace with new. For temperatures -29° to 10° C (-20° to 50° F) use EP
1 grease or equivalent. For temperatures -1° to 49° C (30° to 120° F) use EP 2 grease or equivalent.
Load Chain
1. Lubricate each link of the load chain weekly. Apply new lubricant over existing layer.
2. In severe applications or corrosive environment, lubricate more frequently than normal.
3. Lubricate hook and hook latch pivot points with the same lubricant used on the load chain.
4. To remove rust or abrasive dust build-up, clean chain with acid free solvent. After cleaning, lubricate
the chain.
5. Use a SAE 50 to 90 EP oil.
