Control
The plate must be of sufficient construction to withstand the clamping forces during transport, otherwise
there is a danger of the load or parts of the load being released!
• Do not transport wet, oily, dirty or even icy plate.
• Examine weight and thickness of the plate!
•
The plate must have parallel surfaces!
•
It must be ensured that the sling can easily be pulled through the jaw.
•
Picking up of the plate:
Plate in upright position: position clamp in the centre of the plate above the centre of gravity, open clamp
against the spring tension and push into the limit stop (Fig. 3). Now slowly lift plate for approx. 10 cm.
Plate in horizontal position: position clamp in the centre of the plate above the centre of gravity and the
narrow jaw must show downwards. Open clamp against the spring tension and push into the limit stop (Fig.
4). Now lift plate for approx. 10 cm.
After controlling the tight and safe fit of the clamp onto the plate, the plate may be transported near to the
ground, otherwise
