Operating failures in crane components affecting the safe operation of the device should be remedied immediately.
Maintenance and repair work on the crane components may only be carried out by qualified and trained personnel.
If the operator performs maintenance work on the crane components on their own, the type of maintenance performed together with
the date carried out must be entered in the inspection pass.
Alterations, as well as modifications and additions to crane components, which may affect safety, must be authorised by the manufacturer in
advance. Structural alterations to crane components not authorised by the manufacturer exempt the manufacturer from liability in the event
of damage. Material warranty claims will only be recognised as valid if original manufacturer's spare parts are used exclusively. We explicitly
advise that original parts and accessories not delivered by us are also not checked or approved by us.
General:
Care and maintenance tasks are preventive measures designed to preserve the full functionality of crane components. Non-compliance with
care and maintenance routines can result in limited use and damage to crane components.
Care and maintenance should be carried out in accordance with the instruction manual at predefined time intervals (Table 3-1 and 3-2). During
care and maintenance work, general accident prevention directions, special safety directions (Chapter 0.3) as well as hazard protection
instructions (Chapter 0.4) should be followed.
Care and maintenance work should be performed only on crane components with no loads. The main switch of the crane must be
off.
