Maintenance; Disassembling/Assembling - REMA CSV Série Mode D'emploi

CBS
- Open the clamp by means of the thread spindle.
- Position the clamp completely onto the bulb profile, in such a way that the bulb falls into
the recess of the clamp and the flat side of the bulb profile faces the spindle side.
- Close the clamp by fully (i.e. finger tight) closing the thread spindle.
- Mount the hoisting element onto the lifting shackle and start lifting gently.
- Make sure the clamp does not shift. If the clamp shifts or if the load becomes unbalanced,
repeat the above.
- When the load has reached its destination, lower the crane hook until the clamp is fully
unloaded. This can be verified by the slackness of the hoisting chain and a free movement
of the lifting shackle of the clamp.
- Take the hoisting element from the lifting shackle while holding on to the frame.
- The bulb screw clamp is removed from the construction by loosening the thread spindle.

6 MAINTENANCE

From a safety point of view, please check the general condition of the clamp at least once
a month, see Chapter 7 - Disassembling/Assembling.
Stop using the clamp if:
- the clamping parts are split or deformed, in particular the jaws;
- the lifting shackle is visibly deformed;
- the shackle pins are visibly deformed;
- the retaining pins are missing;
- the threaded spindle is visibly deformed;
- the threaded spindle is dirty or damaged;
- there is too much room in the spindle nuts;
- the marking on the clamp is no longer legible.
Depending on the defects noted:
- dismantle and clean the clamp (see Chapter 7 - Disassembly/Assembly) or
- have the clamp overhauled by REMA Holland B.V. or a recognized mechanical repair centre (see chapter 8
Overhauling). If in doubt consult your supplier.

7 DISASSEMBLING/ASSEMBLING

The clamp can be easily disassembled for cleaning and inspection.
Disassembling
Please make use of the following sequence (see construction drawing on page 32):
- Open the clamp to its full extent.
- Remove the retaining pin (9) and the spindle head (6).
- Remove the retaining pins (8) and the link pin (7).
- Remove the lifting shackle (3) and the spacers (5).
- Unscrew both clamping parts from the threaded spindle (4).
- Clean all parts with a standard degreasant.
- Grease the shackle pin (7), threaded spindle (4) and spindle bushes (5) with bearing grease.
Assembling
Assemble all the parts in reverse sequence.
Note: The two spindle bushes must be screwed on to the threaded spindle over the same
length in relation to the centre, before the spindle head is fitted.
- Make sure that always new and original retaining pins are inserted and do so with the aid
of a hammer, combination pliers and pin punch.
- When replacing parts, always use original REMA components.
- Remove any burr with a file.
If in doubt consult your supplier.
