ENGLISH
Web straps also require Frequent and Periodic inspections.
frequent inspections: Web straps should be visually inspected before each use. The operator or other designated
person should look for signs of:
• Melting or charring
• Acid or caustic burns
• Weld spatter
• Broken stitching
• Cuts or tears
• Damaged eyes or fittings
• Abrasive wear
• Knots
WarninG: If any of the conditions above exist on the web strap, remove from service immediately and contact
Klein Tools or authorized repair center to replace the web strap.
periodic inspections: The frequency of these inspections should be determined by a qualified person and based on
factors such as usage, environment, and previous experience. Inspections are not required at equal intervals, and
should be more frequent as the web strap approaches the end of its useful life.
caUtion: We recommend increased frequency of inspections if any of the following conditions are detected:
• Severely worn end connections
• Distortion of the web strap structure
• Evidence of heat damage
WarninG: Web strap should be replaced, regardless of condition, five (5) years after the hoist went into service.
Frequent and Periodic Inspections of the hooks should be performed at the same time those inspections are
performed on the hoist. Hooks should be removed from service, and repaired or replaced, if any of the below
conditions exist:
• Cracks, nicks, and gouges
• Any visibly apparent bend or twist from the plane of the unbent hook
• Any distortion causing an increase in throat opening
• Any damaged latch or malfunctioning latch that does not close the hook's throat
• Evidence of excessive heat exposure or unauthorized welding
• Evidence of unauthorized alterations such as drilling, machining, grinding, or other modifications
• Avoid storing web strap hoist in areas that are: high in humidity, dusty, sandy, exposed to direct sunlight.
• If hoist is used in heavy rain or near saltwater, clean all parts of the hoist (except handle and web strap) with a
multi-purpose lubricant.
• Do not allow water to come in contact with the brake area. Water contact could cause the brake to become stiff
or malfunction. If this occurs, the unit may require a factory overhaul before storage or returning to service.
