Preamble
When the TH 70 VL tensioner is used, the stirrup deforms elastically in order to return to its
initial shape after work. The clamping as semblies are designed for a maximum load exerted by
the cylinders (maximum pressure of the hydraulic unit obtained with a factory-calibrated pressure
limiter), if the load accidentally exceeds this figure (accidentally or through faulty manipulation,
etc.), permanent deformation of the clevis may occur. It is necessary to carry out an inspection in
order to check whether it is suitable for fulfilling its function.
Before use
: Visually check that there is no external defects, deformations,
superficial cracks, wear or corrosion marks (see periodic checks on stirrups)

Above all
Protect the working area for fitting the TH70 VL tensioner according to the safety
instructions in force on the railway where working. Once the tensioner is on the
track and under tension and the fitting accessories removed, it is possible for the
site machinery to travel. Please leave free the gauge where traffic is permitted.
