Storing/Transport
Due to their surface treatment the components are temporarily
protected against moisture. However, ensure the components are
in a dry state while stored or during transport and use.
During transport ensure the components are not stressed or
damaged by mechanical forces.
Cleaning
Regularly clean and lubricate the components using an anti-
corrosion agent.
4.1 Inspections
To eliminate the potential risk of accident due to malfunctioning of
the components, carry out regular visual and functional inspections
of the components. If the components fail to operate correctly
and/or safely, the adapter must be withdrawn from use
immediately.
Flying adapter and link
In particular pay attention to obvious damage, deformation, cracks
and corrosion.
Locking pins
▪ Visual inspection for deformation, cracks and corrosion of the
component.
▪ Inspection for missing ball bearings and damage.
▪ Functional inspection of the release mechanism to ensure it
operates properly.
▪ Regularly lubricate the Locking pins using WD-40® or a similar
product.
