POWERTEX Lashing Chain
Instruction for use (GB) (Original instruction)
WARNING
• Failure to follow the regulations of this instruction for use may cause
serious consequences as risk of injury.
• Read and understand these instructions before use.
Information for use and maintenance
1 When selecting and specifying lashing chains, consideration shall
be given to the required lashing capacity, taking into account the mode
of use and the nature of the load to be secured. The size, shape and
weight of the load, together with the intended method of use (see EN
12195-1), transport environment and the nature of the load will affect
the correct selection.
2 The selected lashing chains shall both be strong enough and of
the correct length for the mode of use. Plan the fitting and removal
operations before starting a journey. Remove lifting equipment before
lashing the load. Keep in mind that during longer journeys parts of the
load may have to be unloaded. Calculate the number of lashing chains
according to EN 12195-1.
3 Due to different behaviour and elongation under load conditions,
different lashing equipment (e.g. lashing chain, web lashings) shall not
be used to lash the same load. Consideration shall also be given to
ancillary components and lashing devices in the lashing, which shall be
compatible with the lashing chain. Usage of equal combined lashings
is admissible.
4 Release of the lashing: It shall be ensured that the stability of the
load is independent of the lashing chain and that the release of the
lashing chain shall not cause the load to fall off the vehicle, thus
endangering the personnel. lf necessary, attach lifting equipment for
further transport to the load before releasing the tensioning device in
order to prevent accidental falling.
5 Before attempting unloading the lashing chains have to be released
such that the load is unhampered.
6 During loading and lashing, unlashing and unloading attention has to
be paid to low overhead power lines.
7 Lashing chains shall be taken out of service or returned to the
manufacturer for repair if they show any signs of damage.
The following are considered to be signs of damage:
a) for chains: superficial fissures, elongation exceeding 3%, wear
exceeding 10% of the nominal diameter, visible deformations.
b) for connecting components and tensioning devices: deformations,
splits, pronounced signs of wear, signs of corrosion.
8 Care should be taken that the lashing chain is not damaged by sharp
edges of the load on which it is used.
9 Only legibly marked and labelled lashing chains shall be used.
10 Lashing chains shall not be overloaded: Only the maximum hand
force of 500 N shall be applied. Mechanical aids such as levers, bars
etc. are not to be used, unless they are part of the tensioning device.
11 Lashing chains shall never be used when knotted or connected with
screws.
12 Damage to tags shall be prevented by keeping them away from the
corners of the load and, if possible, from the load.
13 The lashing chain and the edges of the load shall be protected
against abrasion and damage by using protective sleeves and/or
corner protectors.
14 Particular information on the individual type of lashing chain or
lashing chain equipment and its intended use shall be given by the
manufacturer.
