Attention: Do not allow the load to fall into the slack rope or the slack chain – danger of
rope or chain rupture!

NSPECTION ERVICE
According to national and international accident prevention and safety regulations hoisting
equipment 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.
Repair or replacement of the worn components is absolutely necessary, if damage is visible.
Before putting the unit into service, make sure that the rope diameter matches the type of the
unit (Tab. 1). The load capacity of the rope is reduced if it is strongly deflected over edges or
returned via return sheaves which are not sufficiently dimensioned.
The wire rope must be discarded if the rope diameter has been reduced by 10% or more
compared with the nominal dimension owing to structural changes (min. diameter with WLL
400 kg = 6.3 mm).
If on the chains for attaching the unit (only valid for TPZ 0,75) at least one chain link shows
wear of 10% or more compared with the nominal thickness, the chain must be discarded and
be immediately replaced by a chain of the same dimensions and grade.
If the thickness of the friction lining is less than 2.5 mm, it must be replaced.
The load lifting attachment must no longer be used in the case of wear in the bearing points
which is indicated by large play in the joints. The play must not exceed 1 mm.
Repairs may only be carried out by specialist workshops that use original TIGRIP spare
parts.
After repairs have been carried out and after extended periods of non-use, the load lifting
attachment must be inspected again before it is put into service again.
The inspections have to be initiated by the operating company.
