Spreading (combi tools)
The spreading function‘s uses include opening doors, lifting vehicles and other movable loads,
pushing vehicle parts away, and squashing tubes and beams. For this, the vehicle must be stably
stabilized and supported.
To prevent any sliding during spreading, the arms and tips are fluted inside and out.
Whenever possible, the tips should be used only to enlarge a gap, because repositioning the
spreader prevents slipping.
5.4
Pulling (combi tools)
After the chain set (as explained in chapter 4.6) has been mounted on the spreader tips, the
combi device can also be used for pulling.
For this, the chains must be tightly tensioned and must be tensed only in the pulling direction.
To tension the chain, only one lock can be pressed in, so that the chain can be pulled through
the holder.
If the range of movement is not sufficient, tension chains or other means must be used so that
the spreader can be reopened and the chain retensioned.
