during routine operation. Periodic inspections are thorough inspections performed by
desiginated personnel trained in inspection and maintenance. Careful inspection on a
regular basis will reveal potentially dangerous conditions while still in the early stages,
allowing corrective action to be taken before the condition becomes dangerous.
Deficiencies revealed through inspection, or noted during operation, must be reported to a
desiginated person. A determination must be made as to whether a deficiency constitutes
a safety hazard before resuming operation.
Records and Reports
A written report of periodic inspections must be maintained listing all points inspected and
kept on file where they are readily available for review. Monthly reports should be made on
the condition found in frequent inspections. Reports should be dated and signed by the
person who performed the inspection.
Frequent Inspection
On a hoist in continuous service, frequent inspection should be made at the beginning of
each shift. In addition, visual inspections should be conducted during regular service for
any damage or evidence of malfunction.
1. OPERATION. Check for visual or abnormal noises which could indicate a potential
problem. Do not operate a hoist unless the load chain feeds through the hoist and hook
block smoothly. Listen for "clicking", binding or malfunctioning. The clicking sound of the
pawl on the ratchet gear is normal when a load is being raised. If chain binds, jumps, or
is excessively noisy, clean and lubricate the chain. If problem persists, return the hoist to
your nearest repair center. Do not operate the hoist until all problems have been
corrected. Check that hand chain moves freely and without binding or excessive drag.
2. HOOK LATCH. Check operation of the hook latch. Replace if broken or missing.
3. HOOKS. Check for wear or damage, increased throat width, bent shank or twisting of
hook. Replace hooks which exceed the throat opening discard width (15%) shown in
Table 1 (ref. Dwg. H-01) or exceed a 10° twist (ref. Dwg. H-01). If the hook latch snaps
past the tip of the hook, the hook is sprung and must be replaced. Check hooks swivel
easily and smoothly. Repair or lubricate as necessary.
4. CHAIN (ref. Dwg. C-01). Examine each of the links for bending, cracks in weld areas or
shoulders, transverse nicks and gouges, weld splatter, corrosion pits, striation (minute
parallel lines) and chain wear, including bearing surfaces between chain links. Replace
a chain that fails any of the inspections. Check lubrication and lubricate if necessary.
See 'Load Chain'under LUBRICATION."
5. LOAD CHAIN REEVING. Make sure welds on standing links are away from load sheave
reference (Dwg. C-04). Reinstall chain if necessary. Check that the last link of the load
chain is securely connected. Make sure chain is not capsized, twisted or kinked. Adjust
as required.
Periodic Inspection
Frequency of periodic inspection primarily depends on the severity of usage:
NORMAL
yearly
Disassembly may be required for HEAVY or SEVERE usage. Keep accumulative written
records of periodic inspections to provide a basis for continuing evaluation. Inspect all items
in "Frequent Inspection." Also inspect the following:
MAN-ALLBADGER-15
HEAVY
semi-annually
- 5 -
SEVERE
quarterly
