Safety Precautions; Lifting - REMA CSV Série Mode D'emploi

- When simultaneously operating a number of lifting clamps facing each other, use lifting
slings or chains which are of sufficient length to ensure that the angle between the slings
or chains never exceeds 60°.
- When simultaneously operating a number of lifting clamps side by side, use a lifting beam
(equalizer) and lifting slings or chains of sufficient length to ensure that the lifting shackles
on the clamps are never subjected to a lateral load of more than 10°.
- Do not place the clamp on tapered or conical sections of the beam to be lifted.
- Make sure that the clamp(s) is/are positioned so as to balance the load when it is being
lifted.
- The clamp is only suitable for use in normal atmospheric conditions.

Safety precautions

- Ensure that the lifting shackle can never be subjected to 10° lateral load.
- A free fall or uncontrolled swaying at the crane hook resulting in objects being struck
may cause damage to the clamp. If this occurs, check whether the clamp is in good working
order before using it.
- Lifting clamps are not suitable to be used as permanent joints.
- The clamp should be subjected to preventive maintenance on a monthly basis in accordance
to the guidelines as described in Chapter 6 - Maintenance.
- Do not modify the clamp (by welding, grinding, etc.), as this can adversely affect its operation
and safety, thereby nullifying any forms of guarantee and product liability.
- For the very same reason, use only original Terrier components.
- The CBS bulb screw clamps may be mounted onto a bulb profile with a hardness of up to
345 Hb (37 Rc). Please consult with your dealer if harder steel types are used.
- If you are using a CBS bulb screw clamp, please observe the following additional inspection
duties: Make sure that the size of the bulb profile matches the range of the bulb
screw clamp.
- Any improper use of the clamp and/or failure to observe any directions and warnings in
these operating instructions concerning the use of this product may endanger the health
of the user and/or bystanders.

5 LIFTING

- Verify whether the working load limit (w.l.l.) of the clamp is sufficient for the load created
in the lifting situation.
- Attach the lifting clamp to the hoisting mechanism:
- directly to a crane hook by means of a safety shackle,
- by means of a coupling link or D-type shackle,
- by means of a sling or chain, if necessary, in conjunction with a coupling link or D-type
shackle.
- Ensure that all attachments have been tested and are of the correct tonnage. Make sure that
coupling links and shackles are large enough to allow the clamp to move freely in the hook.
- Check whether the clamp has any visible damage.
- Operate the spindle to check whether the clamp opens and closes smoothly.
CSV
- Check that the threaded spindle is free of dirt and if necessary clean it with a wire brush.
- Remove excess dirt from the beam or strip where the lifting clamp is to be applied.
- Open the clamp by using the threaded spindle.
- Position the jaw as far as they will go over the beam or strip, ensuring that the clamp is
positioned so as to balance the load when it is being lifted.
- Close the clamp by reversing the threaded spindle as far as it will go (finger tight).
- Start the lifting and check whether the clamp is shifting.
- If the clamp continues to shift read through Chapter 6 - Maintenance.
- Make sure that the load is in a stable position, before taking the clamp off the plate.
