Perform required Annual Inspections and Weight Testing & Maintenance of 207 GH2 Ceiling Lift Systems and an additional 105 GH2 Trolley systems, in accordance with annual instructions and check list below. 5. Specifications/Characteristics: Annual Instructions for GH2 Ceiling Lift Inspection 1) Rail System. Inspect all bracket fixings to wall and/or ceiling, rails and stabilizers for tightness. Inspect and retighten the end-stops and make sure they are secure with roll pins. Inspect at all rail connections to ensure correct positioning of the rail connectors and pins. Find the label where the max capacity of the rail is stated and perform a weight test with similar weight. Hang the rated load of the rail system and drive it through the entire system while visually controlling that any bracket gives up to the weight. If the installation does not have the label, use the hoist capacity and the distance between supports as a guide and perform a weight test with a weight equivalent to 1.5 the selected max capacity for 5 minutes at each bracket locating the weight as close as possible to the bracket. If there is a combi-lock, switch track or turn-table in the installation, it should be considered as connecting to a second system and must be test accordingly. After the weight test Inspect level of the rail system with a laser or a box level at least 6 feet long. Mark the rail system with one label stating clearly the max capacity and the next inspection date. Inspect that the rated load of the hoist is less than or equal to the rated load of the rail system. 2) Electrical Connections. Inspect for broken wires, striped insulation and ground connection. Inspect that all cables are secured. 3) Hoist. Remove all covers and inspect all the snap rings and or E-clips between trolley and hoist. Remember snap rings must not be re-used; E-clips can be reused. Insure the strap is properly fitted to the shaft of the hoist and there is a locking ring securing the strap. To do this you must move the print base out of the way. Perform a full lifting cycle with the rated load of the hoist and listen any abnormal sounds from the hoist and that the hoist can lift the load without any problem. This is, going up all the way until the hoist stops by the end stop switch and going down until the hoist stops by the end stop down. While going up pull the string for the emergency stop and make sure the hoist stops. Do the same in the down direction. After the emergency stop and while the hoist is off, pull the emergency lowering string and make sure the hoist is lowering at a low speed. Place a sticker which includes the next inspection date and inspector initials. 4) Strap Inspect the whole length of the strap for frayed, hard spots, broken stitches, cut threads and deformations. Inspect the connection of the strap and the hanger. Make sure the Allen screws are tight, if applicable. 5) Lifting Hanger Inspect the welding and sling attachments points for cracks and deformations. Inspect the space between hanger and swivel and make sure the hanger in not wobbling. 6) Combi-Locks, if applicable Make sure the safety locks open and close easily manually and electrically whichever is applicable.
