5.0 Inspection
5.1 General
5.1.1 The 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.
Designated Person – a person selected or assigned as being competent to perform the specific duties
to which he/she is assigned.
Qualified 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.
Normal 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.
Heavy Service – that service which involves operation within the rated load limit which exceeds normal
service.
Severe Service – that service which involves normal or heavy service with abnormal operating
conditions.
5.2 Inspection Classification
5.2.1 Initial 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:
Normal service – monthly
Heavy service – weekly to monthly
Severe service – daily to weekly
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:
Normal service – yearly
Heavy service – semiannually
Severe service – quarterly
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.
21
5.3 Frequent Inspection
5.3.1 Inspections should be made on a FREQUENT basis in accordance with Table 5-1, “Frequent
Inspection.” Included in these FREQUENT Inspections are observations made during operation for
any defects or damage that might appear between Periodic Inspections. Evaluation and resolution of
the results of FREQUENT Inspections shall be made by a designated person such that the hoist is
maintained in safe working condition.
22
5.5 Occasionally Used Hoists
5.5.1 Hoists that are used infrequently shall be inspected as follows prior to placing in service:
Hoist Idle More Than 1 Month, Less Than 1 Year: Inspect per FREQUENT Inspection criteria in
Section 5.3.
Hoist Idle More Than 1 Year: Inspect per PERIODIC Inspection criteria in Section 5.4.
5.6 Inspection Records
5.6.1 Dated 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.
5.6.2 A 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.
5.7 Inspection Methods and Criteria
5.7.1 This 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.

6.0 Maintenance and Handling
6.1.2 Contactor – The C/H Meter can be used in conjunction with the amount of jogging to estimate when the
contactor(s) should be replaced. Jogging is when the pendant control buttons are pressed quickly and
repetitively to move the hook in small increments. Refer to Table 6-1.
6.1.3 Gear Oil – The C/H Meter can be used in conjunction with the average load lifted by the hoist to
estimate when the gear oil should be changed. Refer to Table 6-2.
6.1.4 You are encouraged to use the Count/Hour Meter in conjunction with your experience with the hoist's
application and usage to develop a history upon which to gage and fine tune your maintenance
program for the hoist.
28
6.2 Lubrication
6.2.1 Load Chain
For longer life, the load chain should be lubricated.
The load chain lubrication should be accomplished after cleaning the load chain with an acid free
cleaning solution.
Apply Harrington lubricating grease (Part No. ER1BS1951) or an equivalent to industrial general
lithium grease, NLGI No. 0, to the bearing surfaces of the load chain links as indicated by the
shaded areas in Figure 6-2. Also apply the grease to the areas of the load chain (shaded areas in
Figure 6-2) that contact the load sheave. Insure that the grease is applied to the contact areas in
the load sheave pockets.
Machine or gear oil (grade ISO VG 46 or 68 oil or equivalent) may be used as an alternative
lubricant but must be applied more frequently.
The chain should be lubricated every 3 months (more frequently for heavier usage or severe
conditions).
For dusty environments, it is acceptable to substitute a dry lubricant.
6.2.2 Hooks and Suspension Components:
Hooks - Bearings should be cleaned and lubricated at least once per year for normal usage. Clean
and lubricate more frequently for heavier usage or severe conditions.
Suspension Pins - Lubricate at least twice per year for normal usage; more frequently for heavier
usage or severe conditions.
6.2.3 Gear Box:
WARNING Using an incorrect type/grade of gearbox oil or the wrong quantity of oil may
prevent the friction clutch from working properly and may affect the ability of the hoist to hold the
load. Refer to Section 3.1 for the correct oil and quantity.
The oil level can be checked using the oil check hole on the side of the hoist body shown in Figure
3-1. The oil level should be in accordance with Table 6-3 below.
29
Change gear oil at least once every 5 years. The oil should be changed more frequently
depending on the hoist's usage and operating environment. Refer to Section 6.1.
Refer to Figure 3-1 and Table 3-1 to change the gear oil, remove both fill and drain plugs and allow
the old oil drain completely. Replace the drain plug and refill the gear case with the correct quantity
of new oil or until the oil level is within the range shown in Table 6-3.
1) CAUTION Before proceeding disconnect the power supply and make sure the hoist is
unloaded. To keep the load chain from moving, secure it by tying together the load and no-load sides
directly under the hoist using a cord or wire.
3) Remove the four Fan Cover bolts (A), Fan Cover (B), Fan snap ring (C), and Fan washer (D).
4) Pull the Fan (E) off the motor shaft using a wheel puller if necessary.
5) Remove the four Motor Cover Assembly bolts (F) and carefully pull the motor brake unit (G) out of the
hoist.

6.3.3 Brake Gap (G) - The Brake Gap should be measured between the Brake Drum and Pull Rotor.
Adjustment of the Brake Gap is accomplished by turning the Adjustment Nut in the center of the Motor
Cover as shown in the figure with Table 6-4. Do this as follows:
30
1) Bend the tab of the Lock Washer away from the Adjusting Nut so that the Adjusting Nut can be rotated.
2) Using a spanner wrench and a feeler gauge, rotate the Adjusting Nut to attain the proper Brake Gap
per Table 6-4.
3) After the Brake Gap is set, secure the Adjusting Nut by bending one of the tabs of the Lock Washer into
a slot in the Adjusting Nut. If necessary rotate the Adjusting Nut clockwise (tightening) to line up the tab
with the slot.
4) If the proper brake adjustment cannot be achieved, disassemble the motor brake and inspect all motor
brake parts. Replace the Brake Drum and/or Motor Cover if necessary.
6.3.4 Brake Lining Inspection –The brake lining is designed for a long life and should provide years of
trouble-free service. If the brake lining is being inspected due to excessive load chain drift during
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.
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.
31
6.3.5 Motor Brake Unit Installation - After the brake is properly adjusted and inspected, carefully replace the
motor brake unit back into the hoist. Be sure to reseal the Motor Cover to motor frame surface using a
small bead of liquid (hi-temperature) sealant. Refer to Section 6.3.2 and reassemble the parts in
reverse order of removal.
1) CAUTION The hoist must be properly powered and operational in order to perform the
following procedures.
2) WARNING Be certain that the replacement chain is obtained from Harrington and is the exact
size, grade and construction as the original chain. The new load chain must have an odd number of
links so that both its end links have the same orientation. If the load chain is being replaced due to
damage or wear out, destroy the old chain to prevent its reuse.
3) CAUTION When replacing load chain, check for wear on mating parts, i.e. Load Sheave,
Chain Guides and Idle Sheaves, and replace parts if necessary.
4) Remove all chain components including the Bottom Hook Set Assembly, Stoppers, Cushion Rubbers,
Chain Springs, Striker Plates, Chain Pin and End Wire (or End Suspender) from the chain for reuse on
new chain. Inspect and replace any damaged or worn parts.
5) Using a C-link, attach the new chain to the end link of the old chain on the no-load side. The end link of
the new load chain should be connected so that the welded portions of the load chain's standing links
are oriented to the outside as they pass over the sheave. Refer to Figure 6-4.
6) Operate the hoist down to move the chain though the hoist body. Stop when a sufficient amount of
new chain is accumulated on the load side.
7) Single fall hoists - Attach the chain components (step 4 above) to the chain. Refer to Section 3.2 for
the proper locations.
8) Double falls (030C) - Feed the end link on the load side of the new chain through the required chain
components (step 4 above) and the bottom hook’s Idle Sheave. Attach the remaining chain
components to the chain referring to Section 3.2 for the proper locations. Connect the end link to the
top connection yoke with the chain pin, slotted nut and cotter pin. Ensure that chain remains free of
twists. Refer to Figures 3-6 and 3-7.
9) WARNING Make sure Stoppers, Cushion Rubbers, Chain Springs and Striker Plates are
properly installed. Refer to Section 3.2.
10) After installation has been completed, perform steps outlined in Section 3.6 "Preoperational Checks
and Trial Operation".
