Inspections Before Starting Work; Usage Of The Load Lifting Attachment; Inspection / Service - Evers THG Manual De Instrucciones

I
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 both clamping jaws for wear and defects. They 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 handle is unloaded, the spring must have a noticeable spring
pressure force when the handle is depressed.

SAGE
By pressing the handle down, the clamping jaws slew into the housing and completely release
the mouth. In this condition, apply the hand clamp perpendicularly above the load centre of
gravity and push it on until the load has fully entered the mouth of the clamp.
By unloading the handle the clamping jaws are pressed against the load by spring pressure
force and, as a consequence, the hand clamp remains clamped onto the load also without any
pulling force. The load can now be lifted and transported.
At the end of the transport operation, the hand clamp can be released from the load by
pressing down the handle once again and it can be removed.

NSPECTION
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 Evers 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 Evers 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 Evers 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.
