OUTER TUBE CLAMP ASSEMBLY INSPECTION INSTRUCTIONS

All SwapLoader hooklift hoists come equipped with an outer tube clamp assembly
located on the bottom of the outer tube at the opening where the jib telescopes in and
out (see illustration below). On SwapLoader 100 & 200 Series hoist models the outer
clamp assembly is adjustable in height.
INSPECTION
The illustration below is a typical hoist clamp assembly for the SwapLoader 100 & 200
Series hoist models. For optimum performance out of your SwapLoader SL-222 hooklift
the gap between the top of the jib horizontal tube and the top inside surface of the outer
tube should be kept between 1/16" to 1/8" (see Section View A-A below). When a gap
greater than 1/8" exists, since the clamp assembly has a fixed elevation, inspect the
clamp liner, clamp plate, and fasteners for excessive wear or damage (see Section
View A-A below). Replace parts as needed to bring the outer tube clamp assembly
back to recommended specifications (see Pg. 5-4 in the Parts Section of the manual). If
the clamp liner and other components are found to be or have been brought up to
satisfactory condition, but a gap greater than 1/8" exists between the inner and outer
tubes; then proceed to the outer tube clamp adjustment steps below.
