6.7 Mast Rope Inspection Procedure
NOTICE
MAST ROPES ARE TO BE INSPECTED EVERY THREE MONTHS OR MORE
FREQUENTLY AS DESCRIBED FOLLOWING.
The ropes should be inspected more frequently if used in a harsh
environment or high duty cycle applications. Inspection should be
more frequent as ropes approach the end of their useful lives. The
periodic inspection shall cover the entire length of the rope.
Only the surface of the ropes require inspection, do not attempt to
open the rope or remove any carriage covers. Any deterioration
resulting in any loss of original strength, such as described below,
shall be noted, and then a determination made if further use would
constitute a hazard.
Mast ropes must be replaced after machine has been in service
for five (5) years, regardless of rope condition, or sooner if condi-
tions dictate. This must only be conducted by a Authorized JLG
Service Center.
Conditions such as the following shall be sufficient reason for
questioning continual use (of the rope) or increasing the fre-
quency of inspection:
1. Rope Wear
Check rope is not frayed or damaged as per Figure 2-4. in the
Daily Walk-Around Inspection Section.
2. Rope Misaligned
With carriage lowered and the platform removed, check the follow-
ing:
a. Ropes on drum should be neatly wound on adja-
cent grooves.
