• Please note that the lashing mean must be free
moveable within the weld-on lashing point LPW.
When lashing means (sling chains) are hinged or
unhinged, no pinching, shearing or joint spots must
occure during the handling.
• Avoid damage of lashing means resulting from
sharp edges.
• If possible, leave the immediate danger zone.
4 Inspection / Repair / Disposal
4.1 Hints for periodical inspections
The operator must determine and specify the nature
and scope of the required tests as well as the periods
of repeating tests by means of a risk assessment (see
section
4.2 and 4.3
).
The continuing suitability of the lashing point must be
checked at least 1x year by an expert.
Depending on the application conditions, e.g. when
used frequently or if there is a higher level of wear or
corrosion, it may be necessary to carry out inspec-
tions at intervals of less than a year. This inspection is
also absolutely necessary after damage and special
incidents.
The inspection cycles must be specified by the ope
-
rator.
Only RUD original spare parts must be used.
4.2 Test criteria for the regular visual
inspection by the user
• The lashing point should be complete
• Comprehensive, legible load-bearing information
(LC) as well as the manufacturer‘s identification
mark
• No deformations on load-bearing parts such as
basic body and load ring
• No mechanical damage, such as notches, particu-
larly in high stress areas.
4.3 Additional test criteria for the
competent person / repair worker
•
No cross-section alterations caused by wear > 10 %
• No strong corrosion (pittings)
• Additional inspections may be necessary depen-
ding on the result of the risk assessment (e.g.
incipient cracks at load bearing parts, weld seam).
4.4 Disposal
Dispose of the discarded components / accessories
or packaging in line with local regulations.
