Hoisting - Terrier TBLC Gebrauchsanleitung

- Never place the clamp onto tapered or conical parts of the load to be hoisted.
- Remove all grease, oil, dirt, corrosion and contamination from the plate at the point
where the lifting clamp is to be attached.
- The clamp is only suitable for use in normal atmospheric conditions.
WARNING
- A free-fall or uncontrolled swinging movement at the crane hook resulting in objects
being struck may cause damage to the clamp. If this occurs, check whether the clamp is
in good working order before using it again.
- Lifting clamps are not suitable for creating permanent joints.
- Preventive maintenance to the clamp should be carried out on a monthly basis.
See Section 6 - Maintenance.
- Do not perform constructive modifications to the clamp (such as by welding, grinding,
etc.). Such modifications may adversely affect its operation and safety. If you carry out
any modifications, you will nullify all forms of guarantee and product liability.
- This is also the reason to only make use of original Terrier replacement parts.
- Any improper use of the clamp and/or failure to observe all directions and warnings in
this user manual concerning the use of this product may endanger the health of the user

HOISTING

- Ensure that the safe working load (WLL) and jaw opening (punched on the clamp), cor-
respond to the load to be lifted.
- Mount the lifting clamp onto the hoisting mechanism, either:
- directly to a crane hook by means of a safety shackle,
- by means of a coupling link or D-type shackle,
- by means of a sling or chain, if necessary in conjunction with a coupling link or D-type
shackle.
- Ensure that all attachments have been tested and are of the correct tonnage. Make sure
that coupling links and shackles are large enough to allow the clamp to move freely in
the hook.
- Make sure the clamp has no visible signs of damage.
- Check the lifting eye and chain for clearly visible wear and/or damage.
- Inspect clamp blocks for wear and defects (the clamp blocks must be free from dirt and
must be dry and undamaged).
- Check the frame and the jaw for damage, cracks or deformation (this could indicate
overload).
- Check that the clamp opens and closes easily (if it is stiff or heavy then the clamp must
be removed from service for inspection).
- Ensure that at the location of the lifting clamp the plate is free from grease and dirt.
- Place the jaw completely over the plate and make sure the clamp is positioned so that
the load is balanced when lifting.
- Close the clamp by swivelling the lever.
- Lift gently so that the lifting force can engage, check that the clamp does not slip.
- If the load slips, re-read the section about lifting.
- If the load continues to slip, please check also Section 6 - Maintenance.
- Make sure the load is firmly positioned before the clamp is removed.
