Checking the chain sling
Chain slings must be inspected at regular intervals in accordance with DIN 685-5. They must
in particular be replaced in the event of wear exceeding 10% of the nominal thickness of the
chain links.
Chain slings must be checked for outer defects, deformations, cracks, wear and pitting.
An elongated or worn chain must be replaced.

SAGE F HE OAD IFTING TTACHMENT
Attention: The chain sling must not be twisted and must be guided in the return
sprockets.
In order to be able to set down the load lifting attachment onto the metal plate, pull the
clamping jaw lever in the "Open" direction. The chain must then be unloaded. In this position,
slide the load lifting attachment onto the load until the load has fully entered the mouth of the
clamp. By turning the switch-over lever back, the clamping jaw is released. The spring
pressure force firmly presses the clamping jaw against the load. This ensures that the load
lifting attachment remains clamped to the load precisely as a result of the spring pressure
force also without any pulling force. The load can now be lifted and transported.
In order to remove the load lifting attachment from the load, lower the suspension (e.g. hook,
shackle, etc.) until the load lifting attachment is completely unloaded and the chain moves
freely.
After switching the opening lever in the "Open" direction, the load lifting attachment can be
removed from the load.

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.
