Parts List & Operating Instructions
Safety Precautions
Caution: To prevent personal injury or equipment damage,
•
Read, understand, and follow the operating instructions.
•
Wear eye protection that meets ANSI Z87.1 and OSHA
standards.
•
Do not exceed the maximum rated capacity for each
positioning sling: 1805=2,000 lbs. or 909 kg; 1806=4,000 lbs.
or 1,818 kg.
•
Both ends of the chain must support the load; do NOT lift an
object by attaching only one end of the chain. The weight of
the load must be balanced as it's lifted.
•
Use a speed handle and socket on the 5/8" hex drive to tilt
or level the sling; do NOT use a power impact wrench.
•
Do not exceed a 90° angle between the chains when lifting
a load. See Figure 1.
•
Do NOT use this rotor for overhead lifting. Stay out from
underneath a suspended load.
•
Frequently inspect the rotor for any damaged or worn parts.
Use only OTC approved repair parts. Do not alter or modify
the rotor in any way.
Operating Instructions
The positioning slings are used with a crane or hoist to handle and
position large, bulky components. Horizontal tilt may be adjusted to
compensate for off-center loads, or for an alignment angle during
disassembly or reassembly.
1. Attach the sling's lifting eye to the hook on the lifting device.
2. Attach the hooks on the ends of the sling's chains to suitable
locations on the object. The weight of the load must be balanced
as it's lifted.
3. Use a speed handle and socket on the 5/8" hex drive to tilt or level
the sling. CAUTION: Using a power impact wrench will damage
the sling.
The sling requires no maintenance under normal use. The worm-and-
gear unit has been permanently lubricated at the factory. However, if
the sling has been disassembled for repair, the following procedures
must be performed:
1. Refer to the parts list in this document. Use Lubriplate Grease
No. 130-A (or equivalent) to coat the worm gear and the inner
contact surfaces of the collars (Item #4).
2. During reassembly, when replacing roll pins (Item #2) in the
collars (Item #4), align the slot of each pin with the centerline of
the worm shaft. See Figure 2.
