- Do not tie knots in the rope or extend or

shorten it by using rope clamps, screws or

similar (Fig. 5). Ropes must not be repaired.

Do not pull the rope over edges.

- Do not tie knots in the chain or connect it by

using bolts, screws, screw drivers or similar

for attaching the unit. Chains permanently

ﬁ tted in the load lifting attachment must not

be repaired (Fig. 6). Do not pull the chain

over edges.

- The unit itself must never be used as a

means for attaching ropes, chains or belts.

- Do not allow the load lifting attachment to

fall from a large height.

- The unit must not be used in potentially

explosive atmospheres.

INSPECTION BEFORE INITIAL

OPERATION

According to national and international acci-

dent prevention and safety regulations load

lifting attachments must be inspected:

• in accordance with the risk assessment of

the operating company,

• prior to initial operation,

• before the unit is put into service again

following a shut down,

• after substantial changes,

• however, at least once per year, by a

competent person.

ATTENTION: Actual operating conditions

(e.g. operation in galvanizing facilities) can

dictate shorter inspection intervals.

Repair work may only be carried out by a

specialist workshop that uses original TIGRIP

spare parts. The inspection (mainly consisting

of a visual inspection and a function check)

must determine that all safety devices are

complete and fully operational and cover the

condition of the unit, suspension, equipment

and supporting structure with regard to dam-

age, wear, corrosion or any other alterations.

Initial operation and recurring inspections

must be documented (e.g. in the CMCO works

certiﬁ cate of compliance).

If required, the results of inspections and ap-

propriate repairs must be veriﬁ ed.

Paint damage should be touched up in

order to avoid corrosion. All joints and sliding

surfaces should be slightly lubricated. In the

case of heavy contamination, the unit must

be cleaned.

INSPECTIONS BEFORE STARTING

WORK

- Ensure that the surface of the load, in the

location where the load lifting attachment is

applied, is free from grease, paint, contami-

nation and scale and is not coated, so that

the protective lining can make good contact

with the surface of the load.

- Check the ﬁ xed jaw and the clamping jaw

(Fig. 7) for wear and defects. Both jaws must

have clean proﬁ les.

- The protective lining must be even and free

of grease and oil. It must be immediately

replaced when its remaining thickness is

2.5 mm or less.

- Check the complete load lifting attachment

for damage, cracks or deformations.

- The load lifting attachment must open and

close easily and freely.

Checking the chain for attaching the

unit (only TPZ 0,75)

- The chain sling must be inspected at regular

intervals on the basis of DIN 685-5. It must

in particular be replaced in the event of wear

exceeding 10% of the nominal thickness of

at least one of the chain links.

- Chain slings must be checked for outer

defects, deformations, cracks, wear and

pitting.

An elongated or worn chain must be re-

placed.

Checking the rope

Rope slings must be inspected at regular inter-

vals on the basis of DIN 15020-2. They must

be checked in particular for kinks and damage.

Visual inspection of the complete rope for

outer defects, deformations, kinks, crush-

ing, broken individual strands, swelling, rust

damage (e.g. pitting), strong overheating and

heavy wear of the rope end connections (e.g.

pressure sleeve).

Rope damage results in malfunctions and

lasting damage to the load lifting attachment.

Protruding, broken wires may cause injuries.

USAGE OF THE LOAD LIFTING

ATTACHMENT

Position the board clamp suspended in the

suspension (e.g. hook, shackle, etc.) over

the load to be picked up in such a way that

it is suspended perpendicularly above the as-

sumed load centre of gravity. Lower it until it

can be raised on the handle in order to unload

the rope. As a consequence, the clamping jaw

opens. If this is not the case, the board clamp

can be easily opened by pulling on the handle

section of the clamping jaw. Place the load lift-

ing attachment in this condition onto the load.

By lifting the suspension (e.g. hook, shackle,

etc.), the rope is tensioned and the clamping

jaw safely grips the load. It is essential to

ensure that the rope (or the chain in the case

of the TPZ 0,75) is not twisted and that it runs

over the return sheave!

After the transport operation, the board clamp

can be removed from the load by lowering the

suspension (e.g. hook, shackle, etc.) until the

rope is completely unloaded, the clamping

jaw can be opened and the load lifting at-

tachment is free.
