for cracks, wear, abrasion and other defects.
(iii)       Using a clean lint free cloth between the hand and cable maintain a 5- 10kg pull on the cable while depressing the up button on the pendant assembly. Manually activate the up limit switch(es) while reeling in to verify operation. During cable reel-in inspect cable for kinks, bends, frayed wires, breakage or any other defect that may weaken the cable. If the cable snags the hand held cloth at any time, stop hoist operation and carefully inspect cable at area of snag for hidden damage. Check level wind for proper operation. Reel cable completely in until full-in limit switch(es) automatically stop hoist operation.
(iv)        Inspect all visible electrical connections and accessible components for secure mounting, damage and cleanliness.

(v)          If hoist has been operated near salt water, cable and hoist should be flushed with fresh water.

                Caution

                   (i)            Do not exceed 10 degrees cable fleet angle during hoist operation.
                   (ii)         Do not allow cable or hook to contact the ground during inspection.

c)        Periodic Inspection. Carry out the following periodic inspection together with the Post Flight Inspection.

                       (i)            Loosen the four (4) outside nuts that secure the hoist top cover and remove the cover.
                       (ii)         Inspect visible hoist components, electrical connections and wiring for serviceability.

               Note: Pay particular attention to any shielded electrical cables associated with the hoist installation, especially at the plug/socket combination which forms the hoist electrical disconnect. The shielding braid must pass electrically unbroken through the disconnect combination for adequate protection against accidental cable cuts.

                       (iii)       Inspect the roller spring(s) to ensure engagement in the switch support(s) and the cam roller bracket. Inspect spring(s) for corrosion or damage. Rotate cam roller bracket up and away from the cable drum for approximately 12 mm and release to check spring operation.
                       (iv)        Reel the hook and cable out by operation of the down switch. Manually activate each microswitch lever, one at a time, to assure proper functioning of each full out limit switch during reel out. With each microswitch operation the hoist must stop.
                       (v)          Replace hoist top cover and tighten the four (4) nuts securing the cover to the hoist.

               Note: Excessive tightening of the nuts securing the front of the top cover may change the adjustment of the full out limit switch(es).

                       (vi)        Reel out the entire cable by following the post flight inspection instructions, until hoist shut-off occurs indicating limit switch operation. A minimum of three (3) inactive wraps of cable must remain on drum. Inspect condition of the paint marking the last 3 metres of cable. Re- paint as required.

                       (vii)     Begin reeling in the cable by operation of the up switch. During the initial reeling in
