ATEX - Inspection, Maintenance
& Repair
If using the davit in explosive atmospheres, in addition
to the Regular Inspection/Maintenance information
found on page 7, these additional instructions should
be followed.
Inspections shall be instigated by the user and occur
at least 6 monthly or sooner if adverse operating
conditions or profile of use dictate shorter periods.
Inspections and maintenance shall be carried out at a
safe distance away from an explosive atmosphere.
Special attention should be given to dust deposits on
the structure, especially in areas where the profiles
come into contact and should be wiped clean and
care taken not to apply materials that could create
electrostatic charging. Additionally the kingpin should
be checked to ensure it rotates freely and the lower
bearing must be ensured to be fixed to the structure
with no possibility of a build-up of debris between the
contact surfaces.
The structure is predominantly constructed from
aluminium which will not rust. However there are
steel components used throughout. These are the
fasteners, shackles and sockets. Where there is
sign of any rust deposits on the aluminium structure
it should be wiped clean as above and where there
is sign of rust on a steel component, then that
component should be removed from use and the
structure not used until a replacement is fitted.
