Maintenance and servicing
4.1 General
information
As the OKTOPUS
®
system comprises load suspension devices, the manufacturer and opera-
tor bear great responsibility for ensuring a high standard of safety during the entire operation
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-R600 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. Be-
fore 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-R600 to detect
any damage before starting operation of the unit.
The OKTOPUS
®
GL-R600 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!
