6 MAINTENANCE PROGRAM
The lifetime of the hoist is divided into Safe Working Periods (SWPs). At the beginning of the Safe Working Period,
a new hoist has an SWP% of 100. A Safe Working Period ends when the SWP% of the hoist is zero. When a Safe
Working Period ends, a General Overhaul (GO) must be conducted, after which the hoist is assigned a new Safe
Working Period, refer to the section 'General Overhaul, GO'.
During the SWP, the safe and efficient operation of the hoist is contingent on regular servicing.
CAUTION
For the safety carry out the inspection and servicing procedures for the hoist
in accordance with maintenance task list.
CAUTION
To avoid any risk of spark with explosive proof hoists due to the friction of two
mechanical parts, it is important to follow strictly the maintenance intervals.
The safety of the equipment could be compromised if not.
6.1
Periodic inspections and maintenance tasks
The servicing intervals for the hoist are defined as SWP% periods. The actual operation of the hoist is taken into
account in SWP%. If the hoist is provided with a condition monitoring unit, the SWP value can be read from the unit
display. Refer to the more detailed instructions that are given in the separate operating instructions for the condition
monitoring unit.
The following table shows the service intervals for the hoist in SWP% periods and in calendar months. The
servicing procedure must be carried out at the end of SWP% period latest, or after the stated number of calendar
months. Hoists without a condition monitoring unit must follow a servicing procedure guide by calendar months. For
ensuring the usability of the hoist, the servicing intervals can be shortened.
CAUTION
Hoists used under harsh conditions may require a shorter servicing interval
than stated in the table. Consult with a representative of the manufacturer for a
tailored service agreement.
CAUTION
If ambient temperature is frequently over 40 ºC (104 F), the servicing interval is
half of the interval that is stated in the following table.
CAUTION
If the hoisting machinery is used outdoors, the lubrication of all the hoisting
machinery parts, as a general rule, should be carried out on a quarterly basis
(every three months).
WARNING
Periodical inspecting and servicing procedure may only be carried out by a
serviceman authorized by the hoist manufacturer, or by the service personnel
that are adequately trained by the hoist manufacturer.
Note: Intervals on the following table are SWP% periods or a stated number of calendar months. For ensuring
the usability of the hoist, the servicing intervals can be shortened.
