Wire rope Safety information
1. Since the safe operation of this Hoist depends on safe maintenance of the steel Wire Rope, it is important that you carefully monitor and maintain the included Wire Rope. Have the Wire
Rope replaced by a qualified technician as soon as it has any fault, defect or noticeable wear.
2. The American Society of Mechanical Engineers lists standards for the safe use of wire rope in its standard numbered ASME B30 19-2000.
This standard is available to the public, and we strongly suggest you become familiar with it.
3. The following does not replace the information found in ASME B30 19-2000, but paraphrases some of the important information contained therein.
a. Inspection should be made at least once every work day. Inspector should look for damage to the wire rope, such as crushing, kinking, broken strands, corrosion etc. Particular attention should be paid to undue wear and stress points, such as near pulleys, crimped ends, hooks, etc.
b. Wire ropes should be taken out of service if discovered to be damaged, and must be replaced before resuming use of the affected tool.
4. The wire rope must be replaced with one of identical diameter and construction. The wire rope provided with this Hoist is suited to the purpose, and any replacement must be at least to the original standard.
