6.4 Load Chain
m
CAUTION: A hoist SHALL NEVER be used if the load chain shows any evidence of mechanical
damage or excessive wear. Never use the load chain as a sling. Use only original equipment
chain as supplied by a factory authorized source. Improper load chain storage or installation
can render the load chain unusable prior to the first lift.
6.5 Maintenance Inspection
A qualified person SHALL be designated to routinely conduct an in-depth inspection of the load chain (See
Section 7 – Preventative Maintenance for schedule recommendations). This designated person SHALL
inspect load chain using good judgment in evaluating the remaining service life. Any deterioration of load
chain resulting in appreciable loss of original strength
SHALL be noted and evaluated.
An in-depth inspection SHALL include a written record that is dated and signed by the inspector.
