Maintaining an explosion-proof lever hoist on a daily basis is crucial for ensuring its safe and efficient operation in hazardous environments. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to maintain the hoist:

Visual Inspection:

Before each use, visually inspect the hoist for any signs of damage, wear, or abnormality. Look for cracks, dents, corrosion, or loose bolts and fasteners.

Check the control levers, handles, and operating mechanisms to ensure they move freely and operate smoothly.

Check Load Chain:

Examine the load chain for signs of wear, stretching, or damage. Pay attention to distorted or elongated links, as they can compromise lifting safety.

Ensure the load chain moves freely without binding or jamming.

Inspect Hooks and Attachments:

Inspect hooks, shackles, and other attachments for wear, deformation, or damage.

Verify that hooks close properly and that safety latches are functional.

Verify Labels and Markings:

Check that all labels, markings, and safety warnings on the hoist are clear, legible, and intact.

Ensure that the hoist's capacity rating and other important information are clearly visible.

Lubrication:

Apply lubricant to moving parts, including the load chain, gears, bearings, and pivot points, as recommended by the manufacturer.

Proper lubrication reduces friction, wear, and corrosion, extending the hoist's service life.

Cleanliness:

Keep the hoist clean and free from dirt, dust, and debris that could affect its operation.

Use a brush or compressed air to remove contaminants from external and internal components.

Operational Testing:

Test the hoist's operation under no-load conditions to ensure all functions are working correctly.

Verify that the brake engages and releases smoothly, and that the load chain moves freely.

Document Maintenance Activities:

Maintain a record of daily maintenance activities, including inspections, lubrication, and any repairs or adjustments made.

Documenting maintenance helps track the hoist's service history and ensures compliance with safety regulations.

Store Properly:

After use, store the hoist in a clean, dry environment away from moisture, corrosive substances, and extreme temperatures.

Proper storage helps prevent damage and prolongs the hoist's lifespan.

By following these daily maintenance procedures, operators can ensure the safe and reliable operation of explosion-proof lever hoists, minimizing the risk of accidents and ensuring compliance with safety standards. Regular maintenance also helps extend the hoist's service life and reduces the likelihood of costly repairs or replacements.
