Checking the fixed point

 

Checking the rope wedge

*   Measure the rope wedge protrusion (lower edge of rope wedge to lower edge of rope socket).

*   Measure the rope clamp spacing (upper edge of dead end rope grip to lower edge of rope wedge).

*   The measured values may not be higher than the values in the table.

*   If the rope wedge protrudes too far out of the rope socket, or if the dead end rope grip is too close to the rope wedge: replace rope socket and rope wedge. See Replacing the wire rope.

 

Note

The minimum rope clamp spacing specified is always exactly equal to the wire rope diameter of the wire rope hoist.
