6INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
6.1 GENERAL MAINTENANCE RULES
1. Proper maintenance of the Handihoist and related equipment consists of adhering to all the guidelines given in this
chapter and in the Pre-Hoisting Checklist in the front of this manual. Proper maintenance is required to maintain the
system in good condition, which is defined as each part being free of rust or other corrosion, bends, breaks, or other
defects.
2. Review and follow all the safety rules given in Chapter 1 before attempting any maintenance.
3. Only authorized personnel should be allowed in the maintenance area. Authorized personnel are the trained people as
defined below and their supervision.
4. Repairs must be made only by trained personnel. A trained person is one who has read and thoroughly understands
this instruction manual and related equipment manuals and, through training and experience, has shown knowledge
regarding the safe operational procedures.
WARNING:
WEAR HEAVY LEATHER GLOVES WHEN HANDLING WIRE ROPE. INSUFFICIENT HAND
PROTECTION WHEN HANDLING WIRE ROPE CAN CAUSE SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.
5. Do not weld or otherwise modify the hoist. Such alterations may weaken the structural integrity of the hoist and
invalidate your warranty.
WARNING:
DURING ANY ERECTION, MAINTENANCE, OR REPAIR PROCEDURES, DO NOT ATTEMPT
ANY HOISTING. THIS CAN CAUSE EQUIPMENT DAMAGE AND/OR SERIOUS PERSONAL
INJURY.
WARNING:
NEVER CLIMB THE TRACK TO DO MAINTENANCE. THIS CAN LEAD TO SERIOUS
PERSONAL INJURY.
6.2 INITIAL INSPECTION
Hoist erection and dismantling must be done by trained personnel only as defined in Section 6.1. Each time after setting
up the hoist and before placing it in service, all parts of the Handihoist, and other related equipment must be thoroughly
inspected by trained personnel as described in the remainder of this chapter.
6.3 DAILY INSPECTION
It is important that all the maintenance procedures outlined in the Pre-Hoisting Checklist in the front of this manual be
done daily. Details on inspecting the wire rope are given in Section 6.7.
All broken, worn or defective parts must be repaired or replaced before startup.
6.4 OILING MECHANICAL PARTS
1. Oil all pivots, bushings and linkage joints occasionally.

12
6.5 WIRE ROPE INSPECTION PROCEDURE
Inspect the wire rope prior to each use and at least daily for signs of wear, damage, or pinching. Inspect the entire wire
rope working length. Thoroughly inspect the rope sections that pass over sheaves or drums, or that make opposing turns.
Inspect wire rope and end attachments carefully. While inspecting, examine sheaves, guards, guides, drums, flanges, and
other surfaces contacting wire rope during operation. Correct any condition harming the rope in use or other damage or
worn surfaces at this time.
Remove or replace immediately wire rope with one or more of the following defects:
1. Corrosion
2. Broken wires:
(a) One or more valley breaks. A valley break is a wire break occurring in the valley between two adjacent strands.
(b) Six randomly distributed broken wires in one rope lay. A rope lay is the length of rope along which one strand
makes a complete revolution around the rope. See Figure 6-1. Keeping the rope clean and wound evenly on the
drum will increase its life and efficiency.
(c) Abrasion: Scrubbing, flattening or peening causing loss of more than one-third of the original diameter of the
outside wires.
3. Kinking: Severe kinking, crushing, bird caging or other damage causing distortion of the rope structure. Bird caging
is a bulging in the wire rope caused by the individual wires becoming untwisted. This untwisting of individual wires
is usually caused by impact loading on the wire rope (such as a sudden stop).
4. Heat damage: Evidence of any heat damage caused by a torch or by contact with electrical wires.
5. Reduction of more than 1/64 inch from a nominal 5/16-inch or less diameter wire rope.
6.6 REPLACING HANDIHOIST WIRE ROPE
1. Refer to fig. 3.1. Loosen and remove 5/16 nut (3). Pull wire rope (4) off 5/16 bolt (1), and through hole in the drum
washer.
2. Feed new wire rope (4) through hole in drum washer. Put loop of wire rope around 5/16 bolt (1) and screw on 5/16
nut (3) with 5/16 washer (2). Tighten nut (3).
Figure 6-1.

7TROUBLESHOOTING
The following chart is intended to assist with troubleshooting the Handihoist. While not all inclusive, the chart outlines
the most common causes of a problem and the recommended course of action.
SYMPTOM CAUSE AND CORRECTIVE ACTION
Handihoist won’t lift load or is lifting it very
slowly
Handihoist attempting to lift more than stated capacity of unit—
check capacity rating and reduce load weight as needed
Platform not moving freely—check for track obstructions or
block and wire rope malfunctions
Too much wire rope on drum—hoisting capacity decreases as
wire rope diameter increases.
