11. Operate the hoist several times up and down (without a load) for the entire length of the lift.
12. Repeat with increasing loads
13. Inspect for twist while operating the hoist. Severe twist will cause the bottom block to turn. This is easily
noticeable when there is no load on the hook. Always make sure that the rope is free of twist prior to
lifting a load to prevent permanent distortion, rope damage, or rope guide damage.
14. If the wire rope has twisted, repeat steps 1-10 until twist is no longer present.
