Lug-All come-along ratchet winch hoists are built to last, using premium materials and precise engineering to ensure reliable performance over time. To keep your equipment in top condition, regular inspections and maintenance are essential. A quick pre-operational check before each use can prevent potential failures and ensure safe operation.
**Pre-Operational Inspection Checklist**
Before operating your Lug-All winch hoist, take a few minutes to perform the following inspection:
1. **Hooks**: Check for any signs of deformation, cracks, or wear.
2. **Latches**: Ensure they open and close smoothly and securely.
3. **Web Strap**: Inspect the entire length for fraying, melting, cuts, or chemical damage.
4. **Ratchet Teeth**: Look for gouges, burrs, or other physical damage.
5. **Metal Parts**: Check for bends or breaks on all components.
6. **Pawls**: Make sure they are not bent or cracked.
7. **Springs**: Confirm that they are intact and functioning properly.
8. **U-Frame**: Test that the pawl engages correctly with the main frame spring.
9. **Functionality**: Operate the handle to test lifting, lowering, and free release.
10. **Handle**: For web strap hoists, check for a broken stress link; for wire rope, look for bending or deformation.
If any issues are found, stop using the hoist immediately and send it for repair or replace parts from the Lug-All online store.
**Operation Modes**
Lug-All hoists have three modes: tensioning, backing off, and free release.
- **Tensioning**: Rotate the reverse lever toward the drum to engage the u-frame pawl. Use the handle to apply tension.
- **Backing Off**: Move the reverse lever away from the drum to disengage the pawl. Apply pressure to release the load gradually.
- **Free Release**: Press the trigger to disengage the main frame pawl and lower the load freely.
**Maintenance Tips**
Regular maintenance helps extend the life of your Lug-All winch hoist. Light corrosion is normal, especially when used outdoors. Lubricate moving parts like shafts with products such as WD-40, but avoid getting lubricant on the web strap, as it may affect its dielectric properties.
Staying on top of inspections and maintenance ensures your equipment remains safe and functional. Neglecting these steps can lead to unexpected breakdowns, which can be dangerous, especially during critical tasks. Lug-All designs its hoists with safety in mind, but proper care is still vital for long-term reliability and user safety.
