Ingersoll Rand Electric Winch EBT2000B20-12

1.OPERATION. Check for visual signs or abnormal noises which could indicate a defect. Do not operate a winch unless the wire rope feeds onto the winch drum smoothly; If wire rope binds or jumps, clean and lubricate the wire rope. If problem persists, replace the wire rope. Do not operate the winch until all defects have been corrected.

2. LIMIT DEVICES. If used, check that they operate properly.

3. BRAKE. Test brake operation by lifting a load 2 to 3 in. (50 to 75 mm) off the floor and check that the brake holds the load.

4. WIRE ROPE. Consult the wire rope manufacturer's inspection information or a recognized safety source, such as the latest edition of National Safety Council, Accident Prevention Manual for Industrial Operations or ANSI/ASME B30.7. Wire rope is a consumable item which must be replaced when worn.

The following list is a guide to accepted standards by which wire rope must be judged and is not presented as a substitute for an experienced inspector.

a. Damage, such as: bird cages, kinking, core protrusion, crushing and main strand displacement.

c. Wear of crown wires. Replace at 1/3 wear of the original diameter of any crown wire.

d. Broken wires or strands, particularly at connections. Replacement is necessary if one wire is broken at a connection; six wires broken within one lay; three wires broken in one strand within one lay.

Check the oil level in the gear housing assembly;

Frequency of periodic inspection depends on the severity of usage:

Inspect all items in "Frequent Inspection" also inspect the following:

1. MEMBERS. Check for deformed, cracked or corroded main components. Replace damaged parts if necessary.

2. FASTENERS. Check rivets, cotter pins, capscrews and nuts on winch, including mounting bolts. Replace if missing or tighten if loose.

3. DRUM. Check for cracks, damage or excessive wear. Replace if necessary.

4. ALL COMPONENTS. Inspect for wear, damage, distortion and cleanliness. If external evidence indicates the need, for example poor performance or excessive noise, disassemble and inspect. Check pins, gears, shafts, bearings, sheaves, covers, etc. Replace worn or damaged parts.

5. MOTOR. Make sure it operates properly and conforms to applicable specifications. Check wiring connections are clean, dry and secure.

6. BRAKE. Remove cover bolts and inspect the brake lining after every 50 hours of use. When any part of the lining on either brake shoe measures 1/16 in. (2 mm) or less, the brake shoes should be replaced.
