Load lifting attachment with protective lining (optional)
The surface of the protective lining must be free of grease and oil.
The protective lining must be replaced when the thickness is less than 2,5 mm.
Models with protective lining may be used at temperatures between -20 °C and +60 °C.

SAGE F HE OAD IFTING TTACHMENT
Lower the load lifting attachment suspended in the suspension (e.g. hook, shackle, etc.) until it
can be guided on the handle. Position it over the load to be picked up in such a way that it is
suspended perpendicularly above the assumed load centre of gravity. When the suspension
(e.g. hook, shackle, etc.) is lowered further, the load lifting attachment sets down on the load
or the ground and is unloaded. In this condition, the locking pawl can be easily actuated to
release the lock and the clamping arms.
Attention: If the load lifting attachment does not rest on the load to be transported, it
may close very quickly when the lock is released. Danger of injury!
When the suspension (e.g. hook, shackle, etc.) is then lifted, keep the locking pawl open. The
clamping arms close and safely reach around the load which can be easily transported. Make
sure that when depositing the load, the suspension (e.g. hook, shackle, etc.) is lowered until
the load lifting attachment opens completely and the locking pawl latches again.
For models with automatic closing and opening mechanism, the locking pawl is not actuated
manually.

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.
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.
