Safety measures during maintenance work
Carry out the prescribed maintenance work such as cleaning, lubricating, servicing and
inspection on time.
Observe the maximum permissible load cycles (see "3.3 ") and, as soon as the
maximums are reached, make the lifting pins unusable and dispose of them. This applies
even if no external wear is visible.
Note the following points before carrying out the maintenance work:
–
Cordon off access to the area of use of the lifting pins. Make sure that no unauthorised
persons are in the area of use of the lifting pins.
–
Make sure that all components have cooled down to ambient temperature.
–
Only carry out work on low-mounted components in a squatting position, not in a bent
position. Carry out work on components mounted high up in an upright, straight
posture.
–
Immediately replace all lifting pins that are not in perfect working order.
–
Only use original spare parts.
–
Make sure that suitable collection containers are available for all substances (cleaning
agents or other chemical substances) hazardous to groundwater.
After the servicing work has been completed and before using the lifting pins, carry out
the following activities:
–
Check all previously loosened screw connections once again for tightness.
–
Check that all previously removed components are properly reinstalled.
–
Make sure that all tools, materials and other equipment used have been removed from
the area of use.
–
Clean the area of use. Remove any fluids that may have leaked out (e.g. cleaning
agents) and similar substances.
–
Make sure that all components of the lifting pins are working properly again.
