Chain Inspection

Inspect chain before each use. Between regular inspections visually check on a daily basis the following:

• Clean chain before inspection using a non-caustic/non-acid solvent

• Lubrication of the chain may be necessary if it binds up or is noisy

• Chain feeds smoothly into and from the hoist and does not emit cracking noise when hoisting a load

• Visually examine link by link for any nicks, gouges, weld splatter, corrosion, or distorted links pay close

attention to chain’s contact points, which may show excessive wear.

• Test hoist with load and observe operation of chain over load sheaves.
