Maintenance and servicing
4.1
General information
As the OKTOPUS
®
system comprises load suspension devices, the manufacturer and op-
erator bear great responsibility for ensuring a high standard of safety during the entire opera-
tion of the unit. For this reason servicing and maintenance are of prime importance.
In order to maintain a high level of operational safety the OKTOPUS
®
GL-K800 must be in-
spected by the service centre of Wirth GmbH or a specially qualified technician
⇒
at least every 12 months or in shorter time intervals, if required by national standards
or regulations or
⇒
after any special occurrences.
Any operative and scheduled servicing, maintenance and repair work in addition to this in-
spection may only be performed by qualified technicians.
Servicing and repair work may only be performed when the machine is out of operation. Prior
to performing any maintenance work open the housing of the OKTOPUS
®
.
Before performing any repair or servicing work on the OKTOPUS
®
switch
the unit off. For it turn the main switch to the “OFF” position.
Only replace defective components with original spare parts. These are supplied after con-
sultation with the service centre of the OKTOPUS
®
manufacturer upon request. The manu-
facturer will not accept any liability in the event of installation of anything but original spare
parts.
Only use suitable tools to perform maintenance and servicing work.
Always perform a functional test after completing any repair work.
In the event of faults which cannot be remedied by in-house personnel, please contact the
Wirth GmbH service centre.
4.2 Mechanical components
The mechanical components are sturdy and are provided with surface protection. Mainte-
nance work comprises
⇒
daily inspection of the mechanical components of the OKTOPUS
®
GL-K800 to detect
any damage prior to starting operation of the unit.
The OKTOPUS
®
GL-K800 is a load suspension device. Repairs to the mechanical function
components may therefore only be executed by the OKTOPUS
®
manufacturer.
Never undertake any repair work on the mechanical function components!
