Overload Protection Some models of the JLP Lever Hoist have overload protection in the form of a slip clutch (these are identified by "WO" in the model number). The slip clutch is effective between 1.25 to 1.55 times the rated hoist capacity. The slip clutch will allow the lever handle to rotate without lifting the load, if the load is too heavy for the hoist. The slip clutch has been pre-adjusted at the factory and should not require any adjustment by the user. If future adjustment or repair to the slip clutch should ever be needed, this must be done by qualified personnel. Point Hooks Point or "shipyard" hooks are available for your JET lever hoist, in 1-1/2 ton and 3 ton load sizes. They are available in both upper and lower hook styles. Point hooks are used in the metal and ship building industries, and are designed for positioning steel plate and fixtures before welding. Maintenance The lever hoist should be stored in a clean, dry environment. Clean and oil the hoist before storage. Hoists that are installed out-of-doors should be covered or brought inside when not in use. Periodically apply a light coat of 30 weight oil to the load chain. Also lubricate the safety latches and the bearings in the hooks. Wear Limits Load Chain Wear Limits Carefully inspect the entire load chain. As illustrated in Figure 12, measure five consecutive links with calipers to find the length, Compare the results with the table in Figure 12. Check every three feet and especially where excessive wear is indicated. Any load chain that shows noticeable deformation or heat influence must be replaced with a new one. Never extend load chain by welding a second piece to the original.
