For trolleys which are to be mounted along the span of a beam not having open ends, measure exact width of beam WARNING flange and assemble trolley to hoist so that spacing between Be certain that electrical power supply is off and locked wheel flanges is 1/4" (see Figure 2-1) greater than beam in the open position before attempting any electrical width (3/8" if beam has curves). This is accomplished by connections to the hoist. This equipment must be rearranging the spacer washers on the bolts

b. Maintenance. Keep rope well lubricated to help reduce internal friction and prevent corrosion. Lubricant, as described in paragraph 4-3, should be applied as a part of the regular maintenance program. Special attention is required to lubricate sections of rope over equalizing sheaves and other hidden areas. Avoid dragging ropes in dirt or around sharp objects which will scrape, nick, crush or induce sharp bends in the rope. c. Replacement. When recommended by an authorized inspector, the rope
