LOAD BLOCK AND HOOK-AND-WEIGHT
BALL INSPECTION
The operating condition of the load block and the hook-and-
weight ball can change daily with use. Therefore, they must
be inspected daily (at the start of each shift) and observed
during operation for any defects that could affect their safe
operation. Correct all defects before using the load block or
the hook-and-weight ball.
Daily inspection and maintenance will include the following
points (see Figure 5-16
and Figure 5-17):
1. Clean the load block or hook-and-weight ball.
2. Lubricate the sheaves (if the fittings are provided), hook
trunnion, hook swivel, and any other part equipped with
a grease fitting at the intervals specified in the
Lubrication Guide.
WARNING
Falling Load Hazard!
To prevent a load from dropping due to structural failure of
the load block or hook-and-weight ball, use the following
precautions:
• Only use a load block or a hook-and-weight ball
which has a capacity greater than or equal to the load
to be handled.
• Do not remove or deface the nameplate (Figure 5-15
)
attached to load blocks and hook-and-weight balls.
• See the Duplex Hook topic in Section 4 of Operator
Manual for recommended sling angles and capacity
restrictions when the load block has a duplex or
quadruplex hook.
