Examination, Service, Maintenance; Inspection Intervals; Examination Before Commissioning And After; Substantial Changes Before Recommissioning - haacon ESP Serie Betriebsanleitung

7. ExAminAtiOn, SERVicE, mAintEnAncE

Winches, lifting and towing appliances including their supporting structure must be examined by an expert:
– Before commissioning.
– After substantial modifications before recommissioning
– At least once annually.
– If unusual events have taken place, which could have a damaging effect on the safety of the winch (extraordinary examination,
e.g. after longer disuse, accidents, natural occurences).
– After repairs, which could affect the safety of the winch.

A person is an expert, who due to his professional training and
experience has sufficient knowledge in the area of winches,
lifting and towing appliances and is familiar with the relevant
national industrial safety and accident prevention regulations
as well as with the general rules of technology (laws, stan-
dards, technical rules and regulations) in such a way, that he
can assess the safe operating condition of the device.
the examinations must be arranged by the operator.
z Test results and met measures must be documented
in the provided test book.
– All monitoring, maintenance and service work serves
safe operation and must therefore be carried out
carefully and conscientiously.
– As far as possible carry out the tests without load.

7.1 inspection intervals

The specified monitoring and maintenance intervals apply wi-
thin the assumed motor group for normal use and single shift
operation. The intervals must be reduced in the case of heavy
duty operations (e.g. frequent operation under full load) or
special environmental conditions (e.g. heat, dust).

7.2 Examination before commissioning and after

substantial changes before Recommissioning

The examination comprises the correct installation and opera-
tional readiness and consists essentially of visual examinations
and functional tests. They should guarantee that the device is
in a safe condition and that if necessary defects and damages,
which are e.g. caused by inappropriate transport, are identified
and repaired. The scope of the examination is described in the
enclosed test book.
The examination after substantial changes depends on kind
and extent of the substantial change and must be carried out
following the examination before commissioning.

7.3 Recurring Examination

The examinations are essentially visual examinations and
functional tests, whereby the condition of components regar-
ding damage, wear, corrosion, or other changes is assessed;
the completeness and effectiveness of the safety devices must
also be determined. The function and brake tests must be
accomplished with a load, which nearly achieves the permis-
sible load-carrying capacity. The overload protection must be
examined with a test load according to Chapter 8.7. The scope
of the examination is described in the enclosed test book.

7.4 Determination of the Service life consumption

The theoretical service life ("D") of the haacon rope winches is
according to motor group:
motor group
D [h]
After expiry of D, the winch must be taken out of service
and forwarded to the manufacturer for a general over-
haul. The operator must determine the consumption of this
service life annually and document this on the appropriate
forms in the test book.
Calculation basis –> European Standard FEM 9.755

7.5 Examination Rope

The rope examination is essentially a visual examination. The
rope must be examined before each shift for outer damages,
deformations, incipient cracks, and corrosion. The rope must
be examined by an expert at least once annually. Notes on
appropriate accomplishment can be inferred from the DIN
ISO 4309 „Cranes - wire ropes - maintenance and servicing,
inspection and storage", as well as EN 12385 1-4 Steel wire
ropes - Safety.
Immediately report defects to the responsible person.
First repair defects, then continue working.
z Immediately replace rope, if a strand has broken (use origi-
nal spare part).

7.6 Examination load Hook

The examination of the load hook is essentially a visual exami-
nation.
Before each shift, check the hook for outer damage, incipient
cracks, wear, expansion, corrosion, and functionality of the
safety catch of the hook.
Immediately report defects to the responsible person.
First repair defects, then continue working. Only use
original spare parts.
