4) INSPECTION
4.1 Service Schedule
To ensure safe and satisfactory operation,
authorized and trained technicians who can
recognize worn and hazardous parts must
regularly inspect the hoist. Required intervals
of inspection are reliant on the individual
application of the hoist and are dependent on
many factors. Inspection schedules vary
taking into consideration the loads lifted,
working conditions (including dust, moisture,
temperature, etc.) and any other factors that
may deteriorate or damage the machinery.
Following is a recommended maintenance
schedule.
4.2 Frequent Inspection
For normal operation, the tralift® should be
inspected at the beginning of each month as
well as throughout any operation for the
following items. If any deficiencies are
noticed, the hoist must immediately be
removed from operation until serviced by an
authorized technician.
1) Operation - Check for visual or audible
signs that may indicate a potential problem.
Operate the hand chain and notice the
distinctive "clicking" sound as well as the
smoothness of operation. Pay attention to the
movement of each chain and be certain the
load chain stops moving at the same time as
the hand chain.
2) Hooks - Visually check for any signs of
wear or damage including increased throat
width, bent shanks, twisted hooks, cracking or
any other defects.
Check latches for proper operation. See page
9, section 5 for a description of how to look for
damage.
3) Chain - Ensure there is no twisting in any
section of any chain.
4) Lubrication - The entire load chain
should be lubricated each week for extended
longevity. For severe or corrosive conditions
more frequent lubrication may be necessary.
SAE 50 to 90 EP oil is recommended
.
The same lubricant should be applied to the
hook and latch. Rust and abrasives may be
removed by using a acid free solvent followed
by a thorough lubrication.
DO NOT USE CAUSTIC ACID
TO CLEAN CHAIN.
4.3 Periodic Inspection
For normal service it is recommended that the
tralift® be thoroughly inspected quarterly.
Written records should be kept on all periodic
inspections to ensure continual evaluations of
the hoists. A qualified technician must per-
form these inspections.
1) INSPECTION OF ALL ITEMS LISTED
BELOW REQUIRE FREQUENT
INSPECTION
2) Load Block - Inspect for any evidence of
wear, damage, sharp edges, deformation or
contaminants. Ensure that both chains travel
properly through the hoist without incident.
If any problems are noticed, disassemble the
unit and further inspect all gears, shafts,
bearings, sheaves, chain parts, springs and
covers. Replace or repair any component(s)
as necessary.
