Lug-All Come Along Ratchet Winch Hoists are built to last. With high-quality materials and precise engineering, these hoists offer reliable performance for years. However, regular maintenance and pre-use inspections are essential to ensure their safe and efficient operation.
**Pre-Operational Inspection Checklist**
Before each use, take a few minutes to inspect your Lug-All winch hoist. If any issues are found, stop using the device immediately and have it repaired or replaced.
1. **Check the hooks** for cracks, wear, or deformation.
2. **Test the latches** to ensure they close properly and securely.
3. **Inspect the web strap** for fraying, melting, cuts, or chemical damage.
4. **Examine the ratchet teeth** for gouges, burrs, or other damage.
5. **Look for bent or broken metal parts** on the entire unit.
6. **Check the pawls** for cracks or bends.
7. **Verify the springs** are intact and functioning correctly.
8. **Test the u-frame mechanism** to ensure proper engagement with the main frame.
9. **Test all operational functions**, including lifting, lowering, and free release.
10. **Check the handle** for stress links (for web strap hoists) or bending (for wire rope hoists). A damaged handle may indicate overloading.
**How to Operate Your Lug-All Winch Hoist**
Your Lug-All hoist has three modes: tensioning, backing off, and free release. To test the tensioning mode, rotate the reverse lever toward the drum to engage the u-frame pawl. Then, turn the handle to apply tension. For the backing-off mode, move the reverse lever away from the drum and press the handle until the pawl engages. For free release, simply push the trigger to disengage the ratchet.
**Maintenance Tips**
Outdoor use can lead to some natural corrosion. You can lubricate moving parts with light oil like WD-40, but avoid getting it on the web strap as it can weaken the material. Regular cleaning and lubrication help keep your hoist working smoothly.
By following this inspection and maintenance routine, you protect both your equipment and your safety. Even the best tools can fail if not properly cared for. Don’t risk your job—or your safety—by skipping these important steps.
