Maintenance and Repair
Maintenance
1. Check the screws fixing the electric hoist regularly.
2. Remove dust or corrosive liquid accumulated on the cable in time
3. The newly purchased electric hoist is filled with lubricating oil for lifetime maintenance. There may be a small amount of oozing when operating the miniature electric hoist, especially during the first operation. This is normal, do not need to refuel the electric hoist.
4. Check the wire rope regularly. If the wire rope is worn, replace it in time.
5. Repair or replacement of hoist components must be performed only by a qualified technician using only identical replacement parts with the same rating.
6. Note the following regarding specific components:
a. Replace damaged or worn hooks. Do not repair them by welding or reshaping.
b. Replace or repair all critical parts that are cracked, broken, bent, excessively worn, or missing.
c. Replace missing or illegible warning labels.
d. Replace pitted or burned electrical contacts as complete sets.
e. Keep controller function labels on pendant control stations and master switches legible.
7. Do not repair load-sustaining members by welding. Replace them as needed.
8. Lubricate all moving parts regularly using grease.
9. After maintenance work is completed and before restoring the hoist to normal operation:
a. Reinstall guards;
b. Reactivate safety devices;
c. Remove replaced parts and loose material;
d. Remove maintenance equipment.
Frequent Inspection
Perform the procedures in this section BEFORE INITIAL USE and AT LEAST MONTHLY. Inspection is needed more often for heavily used hoists.
1. Check operating mechanisms for proper operation, proper adjustment, and unusual sounds such as, but not limited to, binding noise of the wire rope and bearing squeal.
2. Check hoist upper limit device without a load on the hook at the beginning of each shift. Exercise care. Run the load block into its limit device at a slow speed.
3. Frequent Braking System Inspection
a. The braking system must automatically stop and hold up to the rated load if the operating controls are released and in the event of complete power failure.
b. Braking systems must limit the speed of load during lowering, with or without power, to prevent uncontrolled or rapid lowering.
4. Frequent Hook Inspection
Check hooks for the following problems:
a. distortion, such as bending, twisting, or increased throat opening; b. wear;
c. cracks, nicks, or gouges;
d. latch engagement (if equipped);
e. damaged or malfunctioning latch (if equipped);
f. hook attachment and securing means.
5. Frequent Hoist Rope Inspection. All ropes should be visually inspected by the operator or other designated person at the start of each shift.
6. Check wire rope reeving.
WARNING! TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM HOIST
FAILURE: Do not use damaged equipment. If any defect or damage is noted, have the problem corrected before further use.
Periodic (Thorough) Inspection
The procedures in this section AT LEAST YEARLY. Inspection is needed more often for heavily used hoists.
Remove or open access covers to allow inspection of components.
1. First, follow all Frequent Inspection procedures.
Additionally:
2. Check fasteners for evidence of loosening.
3. Check load blocks, suspension housings, clevises, yokes, suspension bolts, shafts, gears, bearings, pins, rollers, and locking and clamping devices for evidence of wear, corrosion, cracks, and distortion.
4. Check hook retaining nuts or collars, and pins, welds, or rivets used to secure the retaining members for evidence of damage.
5. Check load sprockets, idler sprockets, drums, and pulleys for evidence of damage and wear.
6. Check the motor brake and load brake for evidence of wear.
7. Check the electrical apparatus for evidence of pitting or deterioration of controller contacts.
8. Check the supporting structure or trolley, if used, for evidence of damage.
9. Check the warning label for legibility and replacement.
10. Check end connections of wire ropes for evidence of wear, corrosion, cracks, damage, and distortion.
11. Check the hoist and hoist mounting for evidence of missing parts.
WARNING! TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM HOIST
FAILURE: Do not use damaged equipment. If any defect or damage is noted, have the problem corrected before further use.
Storage Inspection
1. A hoist that has been idle for a month or more, but less than a year, must be inspected before being used according to the Frequent Inspection requirements.
2. A hoist that has been idle for a year or more, must be inspected according to the Periodic Inspection requirements and then tested according to the procedure in the Testing section below before being used.
Testing
1. Before use, test repaired hoists and hoists that have not been used for a year or more.
2. Check all functions of the hoist, including lifting and lowering, with the hoist unloaded first.
3. After testing in the unloaded state, attach a 200 Ib. load and retest to check proper load control and to check brake operation.
4. Test the trip-setting of limit devices under no-load conditions. Test first by hand, if practical, and then at the slowest speed. Test with increasing speeds up to maximum speed. Check that actuating mechanisms are located so that they will trip the switches or limiting devices in sufficient time to stop motion without causing damage to any part of the hoist.
