Inspection Before Initial Operation - CMCO Tigrip Mode D'emploi

Do not use the base frame for lifting further load lifting attachments or for attaching loads by
means of ropes, belts or chains.
The clamps must be arranged on the load in such a way that inclination angle β never is larger
than 45°.
If more than 2 load lifting attachments are used, a spreader beam must be used in order to
avoid impermissible lateral tensile forces.
Do not allow the load lifting attachment to fall from a large height.
The unit must not be used in potentially explosive atmospheres.

NSPECTION EFORE
According to national and international accident prevention and safety regulations load lifting
attachmentt 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 specialist workshops that use 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 damage, wear,
corrosion or any other alterations.
Initial operation and recurring inspections must be documented (e.g. in the CMCO works
certificate of compliance).
If required, the results of inspections and appropriate repairs must be verified.
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.
