    Best Hoist Material Winch Operation and Maintenance Manual 2.0. INTRODUCTION to WINCH APPLICATIONS Congratulations on your purchase of a Best Hoist Material Winch. Pro-Series winches combine many advanced safety features, easy to read visual brake wear indicator, visual overload indicator integral to the snap hook, and optional usage indicator. Some versions of these winches feature a unique drive input hub design which allows the winch to be easily switched from a manual crank to various power drive options to allow the winch to be driven with different types of corded and cordless power hand drills (See Section 6 for further information on Power Drive options).

    Best Hoist Material Winch Operation and Maintenance Manual 6. POWER DRIVE APPLICATIONS In applications involving repeated positioning activities or long vertical entries, it is sometimes desirable to have a powered winch rather than relying on manual cranking. The winches are designed with a unique input drive hub (see Figure 5) that allows for convenient switching between manual crank and powered operation while maintaining a manual backup in the event of power failure or mechanical problems.

  • Page 13 Best Hoist Material Winch Operation and Maintenance Manual Additionally, a detailed inspection of the winch line must be performed as described in Section 7.2.4 (for wire rope winch lines), or 7.2.5 (for synthetic rope winch lines) and the results recorded on the Winch Line Inspection Log sheet. IMPORTANT: Be sure to review any previous inspection records to be aware of existing winch line concerns and to allow for re-inspection of any potential problem areas.
  • Page 14 Best Hoist Material Winch Operation and Maintenance Manual 7.2.4.1 Introduction to Wire Rope Terminology Before discussing wire rope inspection criteria, you need to understand the basic construction of wire rope and the terms used to describe it (see Figure 9). Wires (a) are the individual elements that make up a wire rope. A number of wires are laid together to form strands (b), and then a number of strands are laid together around the core (c) to form the wire rope (d).
  • Page 15 Best Hoist Material Winch Operation and Maintenance Manual 7.2.4.2 Wire Rope Inspection Procedure • Have a helper slowly crank the winch to pay out the entire length of the wire rope while maintaining approximately 33 lbs (15kg) tension on the line. Use a stiff wire brush to clean any built up lubricant and other contaminants from the cable as you are winding it off the drum.
  • Page 16: Maintenance Lubrication And Storage

    Best Hoist Material Winch Operation and Maintenance Manual Before re-installing the wire rope on the drum, inspect the surface of the drum spool, grooves and side plates for any nicks, gouges, or other wear that could damage the wire rope. When winding the wire rope back onto the drum, ensure that you rotate the winch crank handle clockwise to retract the line, and that the ratchet mechanism produces a regular clicking sound while cranking (See Section 7.1.5).
