8. Maintenance and repair
General
To guarantee safe working with the product the following checks and maintenance are necessary:
Regular visual inspections and operational checks at intervals of max. one year by a technical specialist.
-
Ensure these set intervals are observed. Long term exposure and high levels of dust, contamination and
damp will mean that maintenance and cleaning intervals must be shortened.
A regular check for ease of movement of the moving parts and if necessary lubricate with commercially-
-
available grease, including the load chain.
The scope of the checks for a visual inspection and function test includes breaks, deformities, cracks,
-
damage, wear, corrosion damage and operational faults of the drum lifter.
An inspection report log is to be compiled and kept by the operator as proof that the checks have been
-
carried out.
Additional tests should be carried out by a qualified technician in the event of damage or particular incidents
-
that could influence carrying capacity and after any repairs.
Before visual inspections and operational checks, cleaning of the drum lifter may be necessary. This
-
particularly applies if the forks have been contaminated during use by materials such as dyes and salts.
Regularly check the position of the release lever and the counter support. The release lever must press on
-
the flat surface of the counter support.
Also observe BGV D8.

Drum lifter with hydraulics:
Regularly check the hydraulic system oil level and for leaks. If necessary tighten the screws or change the seals
if oil is leaking. If filling with oil is needed ensure hydraulic oil meeting ISO VG 46 is used. Only qualified
personnel should do this.
The load chain should be checked along its entire length, even where parts are hidden.
If the following damage is detected on the chain, the drum lifter must no longer be used:
a) Any lengthening of the chain or individual links
b) Breakage of a link
c) Cracks in a link
d) Deformation of a link
e) Wear where the bolts are fitted
Drum lifter with cable winch
Always ensure the winch is in good operating condition. Machinery which is not maintained can lead to incorrect
operation and accidents.
The lifting cable should be checked along its entire length, even where parts are hidden.
If the cable is damaged, the drum lifter should be withdrawn from service and the cable replaced.
