This Aluma-Lite® Davit Crane has a main structure made from aluminum. At maximum rated load, this
material may exhibit some deflection. The crane will return to its original position upon releasing the load.
At no time should the crane emit any abnormal noises during use. Any abnormal sounds are cause for
immediate removal of load and inspection. There are multiple sources for abnormal noises including, but
not limited to:
• If the cable is not spooled neatly, under tension, when load is applied.
• If the crane is severely overloaded.
• If the crane has suffered severe damage from abuse and/or mishandling.
NOTE: This list is not exhaustive and does not cover all possibilities.
Cleaning & Lubricating the Crane
The Aluma-Lite® Davit Crane should be periodically cleaned to preserve its appearance and to prevent
corrosion. The Aluma-Lite® Davit Crane will last longer and perform better when it is kept clean and
lubricated.
NOTE: No solvents should be used on any parts of the Aluma-Lite® Davit Crane for cleaning or any other
purpose.
Instructions:
1. Wipe the surfaces of the crane with a wet cloth. Detergents are not necessary.
2. The aluminum surfaces are powder coated. Wipe surfaces clean of debris.
It is not necessary to oil the components as they are impervious to corrosion from moisture.
3. Lubricate the shaft bearing surfaces on the winch with a light coat of grease, taking care not to get any
oil or grease on the brake pads of the winch.
NOTE: No lubricants of any kind should be applied to the brakes in the winch. If the brake pads get
contaminated with oil, they may slip.
4. Remove any excess oil with a clean cloth.
5. Lubricate the bushing in the load sheave with a light coat of grease.
Inspecting the Crane
In order to maintain quality operation of the product, a regular inspection schedule should be followed by
each operator. All inspections should be reported and maintained in a dated record log. These records
should be available to all personnel involved with the product and should be made available to OZ Lifting
Products LLC® when a warranty issue is in question.
