NSPECTIONS
Ensure that the centre hole of the cable drum to be transported is undamaged in order to
make sure that the drum clamp is properly seated.
Check the complete load lifting attachment for damage, cracks, deformations and wear.
The load lifting attachment must open and close easily and freely.
U O T
SAGE F HE
Release the latching device on the completely unloaded cable drum clamp by turning the
locking pin through 180°. The open clamp can then be inserted through the centre hole of the
cable drum to be transported until reaching the stop. When the clamp is closed, the latching
pin must be heard to click into place.
Proceed in the same way on the other side of the cable drum with the second cable drum
clamp.
After the correct attachment and positioning of the two clamps have been checked, the load
can be carefully lifted and transported.
At the end of the transport operation, the suspension (e.g. hook, shackle, etc.) must be
lowered until the load lifting attachments are completely load-free and/or the suspension eyes
can be moved freely.
The latching devices of the two clamps can be opened again and the clamps can be pulled out
of the cable drum.

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.
