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 fixed jaw and the clamping jaw for wear and defects. Both jaws 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.
