MAINTENANCE, REPAIR & STORAGE
Check periodically, repair and replace parts and use correctly in order to use the clamps over the full service
life safely. A thorough inspection at least every 12 months shall be carried out and recorded.
Common check points:
Check that the main body is free from cracks, deformation and damages.
Make sure the opening is normal.
Check if the shackle or shackle bolt is distorted.
Check the shackle pin hole for widening or looseness.
Check cam and pad teeth for defect or wear.
Check the screw for bends or wear.
Check the performance of the tightening lock.
Make sure the markings on the clamp are clearly legible.
Check all the listed items. Most items may be checked visually or by touching. To measure wear and opening,
use slide calipers or the like to obtain precise measurements. Inspect according to the checking standard.
DISCARD:
Discard the clamp if obvious flaw or distortion is found in the main body. Defects in the main body cannot be
repaired in the light of safety. The main body may be cracked of deformed only after several uses if it is used
incorrectly. Dent or deformation of main body or widening of opening may be caused by overload or wrong
manner of use.
REPLACE:
If the shackle is deformed, replace it immediately.
When cam or pad teeth are worn or damaged, replace them immediately. The wear rate is accelerated when
stainless steel or other hard material is clamped. When plates of same thickness are continuously clamped,
only particular teeth will be worn quicker.
Besides, replace the screw and other parts according to the checking standard.
Lubrication:
Periodic lubrication is required for moving parts (screw and cam holder/spherical end). However,
do
not
lubricate the gripping surfaces (i.e. cam and pad teeth) – always keep them completely clean.
Storage:
Keep the clamp clean and store it indoors protected against corrosion and mechanical impacts.
