Measuring the radial play of the rotating shaft on the

safety device

1. Clamp a support (A) on the rack with the aid of a C-clamp –

approximately 1 mm (.039”) above the safety device pinion.

2. Measure the play with a feeler gauge.

3. Lift the pinion with the aid of the cranking lever from the

hoist tool kit or some other suitable tool and measure the

play again.

Note that the pinion may not be turned, but must remain in

precisely the same position during both measurements.

4. The difference between the two measured values is the radial

play in the safety device shaft.

5. If the radial play is greater than 0.6 mm (.024”), the safety

device must be replaced.

IMPORTANT! Test has to be done before lubrication.
