Practical Use And Care Information - Powerfix Profi HG04646 Bedienungs- Und Sicherheitshinweise

˜ Practical use and care information
1. In selecting and using lashing equipment, you must consider the
required lashing force, the mode of use and the type of cargo to
be lashed. The size, shape and weight of the cargo as well as the
intended mode of use, the transport environment and the type of
cargo determine the correct choice. For stability reasons, at least
2 lashing straps must be used for lashing down and 2 pairs of
lashing straps used for diagonal lashing.
2. The selected web lashings shall both be strong enough and of the
correct length for the mode of use. Basic lashing rules:
– Plan the fitting and removal operations of lashing before starting
a journey;
– Keep in mind that during journeys parts of the load may have to
be unloaded;
– Calculate the number of web lashings according to
prEN 12195-1:1995;
– Only those web lashings designed for frictional lashing with STF
on the label are to be used for frictional lashing;
– Check the tension force periodically, especially shortly after
starting the journey.
3. Due to different characteristics and because of different changes in
length under load, only identical lashing device combinations (e. g.
lashing chains and lashing strap made of synthetic fibres) may be
used in parallel for lashing the same load.
4. Consideration shall also be given to ancillary fittings (components)
and lashing devices in the load restraint assembly are compatible
with the web lashing.
5. During use, flat hooks must engage over the entire width of the
bearing surface of the hook.
