6.2.1 VISUAL INSPECTION:
A complete visual inspection should be performed on the hoist prior to using. The following items should be checked:
1.
Labels:
Check that all the labels are clean and legible. The PH Series Hoist has 3 labels and a serial number decal (see
Figures 6c and 6d). Clean the labels if any are dirty using mild soap and a damp cloth. Replace if any are illeg-
ible. Refer to section 2.1 and 3.0 for specific locations of serial number decal and labels.
2.
Fasteners:
Check that all screws and other fasteners are tight. Tighten if any are loose. Replace if any are missing.
3.
Frame:
Check the frame and housing for cracks, dents, bends or breaks. Ensure that the gear cover does not interfere
with the gears of the drum. If there are major dents or any other structural damage, the unit should be removed
from service and returned to the factory for repair.
4.
Drive Handle:
Check that each handle on the drive handle is tight. If the drive handle is bent or damaged, remove hoist from
service. Do not use hoist unless drive handle is fully functional.
5.
Corrosion:
Check all components for damage from corrosion. Although all components resist corrosion, working in corrosive
environments can lead to damage. Inspect the mounting surfaces and fasteners for signs of damage. If damage
is found, remove from service and return to the factory for repair.
6.
Connectors:
Check the hoist line collar and clamp for signs of wear, distortion or fraying. Remove from service and return to
the factory for repair if any problems are found.
Check the gate and gate lock on the snap hook. Both must open and close easily. See Figure 6e. If they do not,
remove from service and return to the factory for service.
