Inspection Before Initial Operation; Inspections Before Starting Work; Usage Of The Load Lifting Attachment - Yale Tigrip TTT Serie Manual De Instrucciones

I B
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
Ensure that the surface of the load, in the location where the load lifting attachment is applied,
is free from grease, paint, contamination and scale and is not coated, so that the teeth can
make good contact with the surface of the load.
Check the clamping jaws for wear and defects. They must have clean profiles.
Check the complete load lifting attachment for damage, cracks or deformations.
The load lifting attachment must open and close easily and freely.
Check the spring. When the lever is in the "Close" position, the spring must have a noticeable
spring pressure force when the suspension eye is depressed.

The load lifting attachment is fitted with a safety latch. When the operating lever is latched in
the "Open" position, the clamping jaw is raised and the mouth of the clamp is freely
accessible. In this position, push the load lifting attachment onto the load until the load to be
transported has fully entered the mouth of the clamp.
By switching the lever into the "Close" position, the clamping jaw is released. The clamping
jaw is firmly pressed against the load owing to spring pressure force. This ensures that the
applied load lifting attachment remains clamped to the load precisely as a result of the spring
force also without any pulling force. The load can now be lifted and transported.
