WEB STRAP INSPEcTION
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

HOIST MAINTENANcE

• 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.

Hoists are tested by Klein Tools before being sold. However, hoists require operational testing if it has been altered,
repaired, or has been out of service for the last 12 months or more. Tests shall be performed by a designated person
and shall include:
• Checking all functions of the hoist while it is suspended in the unloaded state.
• After testing in the unloaded state, a load of at least 100 lbs (single line) and 200 lbs. (double line) shall be applied
to the hoist in order to check proper load control.
A hoist where load-suspension parts have been altered, replaced, or repaired shall be statically or dynamically load tested:
• The need for these tests shall be determined by a qualified person.
• A written report of the test should be prepared and placed on file.
• The test load shall not be less than 100% of the rated load of the hoist or more than 125% of the rated load of the
hoist unless otherwise recommended by the manufacturer or a qualified person.
• The replacement of the web strap is excluded from this load test, but should be tested in accordance with the
operational testing detailed above.
• Test anchorages or suspensions shall be approved by a qualified person.
