CAUTION
Each chain container indicates the maximum length of the load chain that can be
stored in the container. The amount of chain the container must hold is equal to the lift on the hoist.
DO NOT use a chain container with a storage capacity less than the lift length on the hoist. If all of the
chain can not be stored in the container, the limit switch will not operate properly.

Power Supply Cable - Installation
If the hoist is hook mounted to a fixed support ensure that the Power Supply Cable is properly
installed and supported between the hoist and the electrical power supply.
If the host is installed on a manual trolley, then the Power Supply Cable must be installed along the
beam that the trolley runs on. For curved beams a special cable suspension system will be
needed, and this instruction does not apply. For straight beams install the Power Supply Cable as
follows:
§ Install a guide wire system parallel to the beam.
§ For a manual trolley the guide wire should be positioned slightly outside the hoist's Cable
Support as shown in Figure 3-8.
§Use the Cable Trolleys supplied with the hoist to suspend the Power Supply Cable from the
guide wire. Space the Cable Trolleys every 5 feet.
3.5.5 Connection to Electrical Power Source - The red, white, and black wires of the Power Supply Cable
should be connected to an Electric Power Disconnect Switch or Circuit Breaker. This connection
should be made so that the hoist is phased properly. Refer to Section 3.6.11 for instructions on how to
check for correct power supply phase connection.
3.5.6 Fuse/Breaker Capacity -The hoist's power supply should be equipped with overcurrent protection such
as fuses, which should be selected for 110% to 120% of total listed full load amperage, and should be

5.1General
5.1.1The inspection procedure herein is based on ANSI/ASME B30.16. The following definitions are from
ANSI/ASME B30.16 and pertain to the inspection procedure below.
nDesignated Person – a person selected or assigned as being competent to perform the specific duties
to which he/she is assigned.
nQualified Person – a person who, by possession of a recognized degree or certificate of professional
standing, or who, by extensive knowledge, training, and experience, has successfully demonstrated the
ability to solve or resolve problems relating to the subject matter and work.
nNormal Service – that distributed service which involves operation with randomly distributed loads
within the rated load limit, or uniform loads less than 65% of rated load for not more than 25% of the
time.
nHeavy Service – that service which involves operation within the rated load limit which exceeds normal
service.
nSevere Service – that service which involves normal or heavy service with abnormal operating
conditions.
5.2 Inspection Classification
5.2.1Initial Inspection – prior to initial use, all new, altered, or modified hoists shall be inspected by a
designated person to ensure compliance with the applicable provisions of this manual.
5.2.2 Inspection Classification – the inspection procedure for hoists in regular service is divided into two
general classifications based upon the intervals at which inspection should be performed. The intervals
in turn are dependent upon the nature of the critical components of the hoist and the degree of their
exposure to wear, deterioration, or malfunction. The two general classifications are herein designated
as FREQUENT and PERIODIC, with respective intervals between inspections as defined below.
5.2.3 FREQUENT Inspection – visual examinations by the operator or other designated personnel with
intervals per the following criteria:
n Normal service – monthly
n Heavy service – weekly to monthly
n Severe service – daily to weekly
n Special or infrequent service – as recommended by a qualified person before and after each
occurrence.
5.2.4 PERIODIC Inspection – visual inspection by a designated person with intervals per the following
criteria:
n Normal service – yearly
n Heavy service – semiannually
n Severe service – quarterly
n Special or infrequent service – as recommended by a qualified person before the first such
occurrence and as directed by the qualified person for any subsequent occurrences.
22

5.6Inspection Records
5.6.1Dated inspection reports and records should be maintained at time intervals corresponding to those
that apply for the hoist’s PERIODIC interval per Section 5.2.4. These records should be stored where
they are available to personnel involved with the inspection, maintenance, or operation of the hoist.
5.6.2A long range chain inspection program should be established and should include records of
examination of chains removed from service so a relationship can be established between visual
observation and actual condition of the chain.
5.7Inspection Methods and Criteria
5.7.1This section covers the inspection of specific items. The list of items in this section is based on those
listed in ANSI/ASME B30.16 for the Frequent and Periodic Inspection. In accordance with ANSI/ASME
B30.16, these inspections are not intended to involve disassembly of the hoist. Rather, disassembly for
further inspection would be required if frequent or periodic inspection results so indicate. Such
disassembly and further inspection should only be performed by a qualified person trained in the
disassembly and re-assembly of the hoist.

operation (see Section 5.7), disassemble the motor brake and inspect all motor brake parts. Braking
surfaces should be clean, free of grease/oil and should not be glazed. Replace the Brake Drum and/or
Motor Cover if necessary. For normal inspections, the Brake Lining and Motor Cover wear should be
measured as follows.
1) Adjust the Brake Gap per Section 6.3.3 before measuring the Brake Lining and Motor Cover wear.
2) Refer to Table 5-6.
3) Measure the distance "A" using calipers and a straight edge. Place the straight edge across the edge
of the motor cover and measure from the straight edge to the face of the Pull Rotor.
4)Compare the measurement with the values listed in Table 5-6. Replace the Brake Drum and/or Motor
Cover if the "A" measurement is smaller than the discard limit.
