LAYING UP THE HOIST
5.1
LAYING UP THE HOIST
Whenever the hoist is unused for a period ( weekends, holidays or in store ), a little preparation will ensure that the hoist operates correctly
and safely, either before being put into service for the first time or when being put back into service after a layup.
SHORT LAY UP PERIOD (2 TO 90 DAYS):
Air hoists should be kept clean, lubricated and stored in a clean and dry location.
When not in use seal off from the air supply inlet and run extra oil through the hoist as per lay up instructions.
Wherever possible keep the hoist protected when in use and installed in an exposed location, protecting controls and hoses from damage.
Turn up the oil delivery rate of the lubricator to maximum and run the hoist for two minutes, thereby ensuring that the hoist motor and control
valve are well lubricated. (This also helps to displace any water which may be lying in the hoist).
LONG TERM LAY UP PERIOD (3 MONTHS TO 24 MONTHS):
▪
Heavily lubricate the hoist as specified above.
▪
If the hoist is contaminated with dirt or chemicals, wash with a propriety mild solvent or detergent and thoroughly rinse off with fresh
water. Allow to dry and spray lightly with penetrating fluid.
▪
Lubricate the load chain, limit shafts, safety latches, and hook swivels.
▪
Disconnect the air supply and plug the inlet port.
▪
If required, dismantle the chain collector, pendant, air set and trolley for storage.
▪
Store in a dry ventilated area.
▪
Secure hoist in a crate or suitable pallet.
Transportation - Moving your Red Rooster hoist between locations.
Carefully disconnect from suspension point and lower under control to ground level.
Be sure that chain collector, valves and trolley drives are not damaged.
Carefully lay the pendant on top of the hoist making sure tubes or hoses are not damaged.
Secure the hoist and chain to the shipping container or pallet.
For long term storage corrosion inhibitors (wax coatings) can also be applied to suitable surfaces and then removed before use.
Before connecting the air supply line to the hoist, pour 5 to 10 cc of Atlub air tool oil directly into the airline to ensure that oil is present in the
motor startup.
If being stored long term especially outside ask for a copy of the full procedure - AHLU-15
