9 Optional equipment
9.1 Optional load handling attachments
Caution: When using optional load handling attachments, the relevant operating
instructions must be observed in addition to these instructions.
Irrespective of the operating instructions for optional load handling
attachments, the following safety instructions must always be observed.
•
Support tubes must not be extended. Danger of tipping!
•
There is a risk of crushing between the edge of the pit and the support
bridge.
Lower the load with extreme caution
•
Support systems may only be removed when there is no load and the load is
stable
•
Note the change in the load's center of gravity, e.g. with different fuel quan-
tities in an asymmetrical fuel system. Use suitable lifting gear as required.
•
Observe the operating instructions for all devices and tools used.
•
Check load handling attachments carefully for operational safety.
•
Pre-position the lifting device and load handling attachment at the pick-up
points.
•
Always pick up the load securely, without slipping and centrally to the center
of gravity.
•
Position the adjusting parts, supports and underlays at the support points
and, depending on the type, pin the support tubes with bolts and secure
them with linchpins or place wooden blocks at least 500 mm apart.
•
Lift or lower the load slowly and under constant observation.
•
Lower the load safely, without slipping and centrally to the center of gravity.
9.2 Maintenance unit
MAHA offers a maintenance unit for its air-operated pit jacks that additionally
supports the air quality requirements.
This maintenance unit can be ordered together with the pit jack, but can also be
retrofitted.
The maintenance unit is mounted directly on the air connection of the pit jack
and consists of a filter-pressure control valve-oiler combination.
A coarse pre-filter at the compressed air inlet is designed to reduce
contamination. A clogged pre-filter can lead to a high pressure drop and
reduced performance of the pit jack!
