What our service work and the manufacturer documentation say about keeping this model running.
Inspect load-bearing structure, brakes, locks, ropes or chains, rollers or sheaves, pins, bearings, drives, controls and foundations as applicable. Lubricate specified points and inspect hydraulic hoses or electrical equipment according to drive type. Function-test local and remote controls, limit devices, emergency stops and interlocks using approved procedures. Examine high-load welds and line-contact areas for corrosion, cracking, deformation or sharp edges. Keep personnel clear of suspended loads and snap-back or pinch zones during tests. Refer to the manufacturer documentation for the exact figure for load tests, allowable wear, brake settings and inspection criteria.
Keep brake or locking service parts, seals, bearings, hydraulic hose or valve consumables, control switches, sensors and manufacturer-recommended rope, roller or sheave wear parts. Heavy structural, gear and load-bearing components are normally strategic spares.
