before it is used. Keep your equipment in good repair by adopting a program of conscientious repair and
maintenance. Have necessary repairs made by qualified service personnel.
• Follow the maintenance instructions carefully to keep your equipment in good working condition. Never
perform any maintenance on the equipment while it is under a load.
a. All moving parts of the equipment should be regularly cleaned.
b. Lubricate parts as required by the manufacturer's specifications. The type of lubricant should be as
specified by the manufacturer or a qualified person. Lubrication systems should be checked to verify proper
operation.

Inspection
You should inspect the product for damage, wear, broken or missing parts (e.g.: pins) and that all
components function before each use. Follow lubrication and storage instructions for optimum product
performance. Check the climbing pins to make sure that they are not worn or damaged. Check that
everything is good working condition and that nothing is blocking the holes. Do not use the equipment
unless it is in good working condition.
Binding
If the product binds while under a load, use equipment with equal or a larger load capacity to lower the load
safely to the ground. After unbinding; clean, lubricate and test that equipment is working properly. Rusty
components, dirt, or worn parts can be causes of binding. Clean and lubricate the equipment as indicated in
the lubrication section. Test the equipment by lifting without a load. If the binding continues contact Customer
Service.
IF YOUR EQUIPMENT BINDS
As your equipment becomes older, the threads may start binding. This will prevent the equipment
from operating properly and safely. Rusty threads, dirty threads, or a worn threads can cause binding.
Clean and lubricate the equipment. Test the equipment without a load. If the binding continues, refer to
the after sale parts and service. If your equipment binds while under a load, use equipment with equal or
larger load capacity to lower the load safely to the ground.
Cleaning
If the moving parts of the equipment are obstructed, use cleaning solvent or another good degreaser to clean
the equipment. Remove any existing rust, with a penetrating lubricant.
Do not use motor oil to lubricate the equipment
Rust Prevention:
-Check daily for any signs of rust or corrosion.
Without a load check for signs of rust that are visible and clean as needed.
1. Quarterly (every 3 months), clean off load chain, then lubricate load chain links with lithium grease. Apply
grease to inner surfaces of load chain, where the links rub against each other.
2. Repair or replacement of hoist components must be performed only by a qualified technician using
only identical replacement parts with the same rating.
