2. ALL COMPONENTS. Inspect for wear, damage, distortion, deformation and cleanliness. If
external evidence indicates the need for additional inspection return the hoist to your nearest
service repair center.
3. HOOKS. Inspect hooks for cracks. Use magnetic particle or dye penetrant to check for
cracks. Inspect hook retaining parts. Tighten or repair, if necessary. Refer to applicable
specifications for additional hook inspection information.
4. DRUM and SHEAVES Check for damage or excessive wear. If damage or wear is noted,
return the hoist to your nearest service repair center.
5. LABELS AND TAGS. Check for presence and legibility. Replace if necessary.

be given an inspection conforming with the requirements of "Frequent Inspection" before
being placed in service.
2. Hoists which have been idle for a period of more than one year should be given a complete
inspection conforming with the requirements of "Periodic Inspection" before being placed in
service.
3. Standby hoists should be inspected at least semi-annually in accordance with the
requirements of "Frequent Inspection." In abnormal operating conditions equipment should be
inspected at shorter intervals.
General
The use of thread lubricant or anti-seize compound is recommended for threaded components.
Unless otherwise stated, remove old lubricant, clean the part with an acid free solvent and apply
a new coating of lubricant to the part before assembly.
1. Lubricate cable weekly. Apply new lubricant over existing layer.
2. In severe applications or corrosive environment, lubricate more frequently than normal.
3. Lubricate hook and hook latch pivot points with the same lubricant used on the cable.
4. To remove rust or abrasive dust build-up, clean cable with acid free solvent. After cleaning,
lubricate the cable.
