Inspection Before Initial Operation; Inspections Before Starting Work; Usage Of The Load Lifting Attachment; Inspection / Service - Yale TIGRIP Manual De Instrucciones

Only one sheet metal plate or bundle of sheets may be transported at a time with the load
lifting attachment.
It is forbidden to apply lateral tensile forces to the load lifting attachment.
Always insert the load fully into the mouth of the clamp.
Loads on the tips of the horizontal lifting hooks are prohibited.
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.

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.

NSPECTIONS
Check the complete suspension for damage, cracks or deformations.
U O T
SAGE F HE
Lower the horizontal lifting hooks suspended in the suspension (e.g. hook, shackle, etc.) until
the individual hooks can be pushed completely under the load to be transported. Check
deflection of the load and correct positioning of the hooks by carefully lifting the load.
After completion of the transport operation, lower the suspension (e.g. hook, shackle, etc.)
until the suspension eye of the lifting gear is completely load-free and moves freely. In this
condition, the horizontal hooks can be pulled out from under the load.

NSPECTION ERVICE
According to national and international accident prevention and safety regulations hoisting
equipment 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.
