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 EFORE TARTING ORK
Ensure that the surface of the load, in the location where the magnet is set down, is free from
grease, paint, contamination, scale and ice and is not coated, so that the pole shoes can make
good contact with the surface of the load.
Attention: Any distance or any obstacle between the load and the pole shoes of the
magnet results in a reduction of the load capacity.
Before use the hand lever, which may be removed for transport purposes, must be screwed
into the load lifting attachment.
The hand lever must be safely screwed in and must move easily and freely.
The safety latch of the hand lever must be functioning in the "ON" position and safely hold the
hand lever in this position.
Check the pole shoes for flatness and parallelism. Any gap between load lifting attachment
and load hinders penetration of the magnetic field into the load and thus considerably reduces
the lifting performance of the unit.
Check the complete load lifting attachment for damage, cracks or deformations.
Make sure that the load does not exceed the max. load capacity (WLL).
Take into account and any air gap resulting from coating, unevenness etc.
Take into account the reduction in load capacity by round material, tubes, stainless steel and
casting.
If it is not possible for the entire pole shoe to have full contact owing to the shape of the load,
such as e.g. in the case of corrugated or perforated metal sheets, the max. load capacity must
be reduced by the share of surfaces which are not in contact with the pole shoes.
The load must be stiff enough so that it cannot disengage from the pole shoe by deflection; in
the case of large metal plates, a suitable spreader beam with several load lifting attachments
must be used, for example.

Set down the demagnetised load lifting attachment (lever position "OFF") suspended in the
suspension (e.g. hook, shackle, etc.) or another load lifting attachment onto the load
perpendicularly above the assumed load centre of gravity.
Move the hand lever to the "ON" position and lock it safely in the safety latch. The unit is now
magnetised and the load can be lifted.After the end of the lifting or transport operation, make
sure that the load has been safely deposited and cannot roll off, fall over or slip.
