Inspection/Action
Scheduled Maintenance
Be sure that all daily and weekly inspections and
maintenance have been completed.
Gearbox
Completely remove the gearbox from the climbing unit.
Check over the entire gearbox for excessive wear, oil
leaks, or any damage. Check to ensure the input shaft
and output gears are not sloppy around the bearings.
Call your local dealer or ReechCraft for replacement
parts. Inspect the drive gear for wear. If the gear tooth
profile is not symmetrical on one or more teeth, or
there is any damage to the gear, discard and replace
immediately. Verify the clutch force of the gearbox. Be
sure that all bearings, guides, and gearbox gears are
functioning properly. Erect a single mast assembly with
the climbing unit next to a structure. Taking all necessary
safety precautions and with the climbing unit less than
1.6 ft (0.5 m) off the ground, load 1000 lbs (454 kg) and
secure to the unit (no work platforms, etc.). Make sure
the PowerMast can lift approximately 1000 lbs (454 kg)
without stalling. If not, call your local dealer or contact
ReechCraft for recommendations or service parts.
Overspeed Brake
Remove the overspeed brake from the climbing unit to
allow for complete inspection. Thoroughly inspect the
inside and outside of the assembly for any missing,
damaged, worn, or otherwise deficient parts. Be sure all
bolt and pin connections are secure. Rotate the locking
pawls back and forth to ensure they move freely and
that the springs are functioning properly. While holding
the assembly, move the drive gear back and forth at
different speeds. In one direction, the assembly should
continue to ratchet without engaging the locking pawls.
In the other direction, when you rapidly rotate the drive
gear, one of the two pawls should engage the cam lever
lock follower, stopping the drive gear.
