HOISTS
MINIMUM BAIL LIMIT ADJUSTMENT
General
The minimum bail limit assembly is a protective device. It
automatically stops the corresponding load drum from
lowering when there are three to four wraps of wire rope
remaining on the drum.
The load drum can be operated in the hoist direction when
the corresponding minimum bail limit is contacted.
Weekly Maintenance
See Figure 5-1 for the following procedure.
1. Check for proper operation of each minimum bail limit
assembly, as follows:
a. Land load
b. Pay out wire rope from load drum.
c. Load drum must stop when there are three to four
wraps of wire rope remaining on drum.
2. Check that cap screws (3) holding rollers (2) on bail limit
lever (1) are tight.
3. Check tension of each return spring (9). If necessary,
adjust eyebolt (10) so spring holds rollers snugly against
drum.
WARNING
Falling Load Hazard!
Do not operate either load drum with less than three full
wraps of wire rope on drum. Wire rope can be pulled out
of drum and load will drop.
