IMPORTANT: Before using the load sling adjuster ensure that you
have read and understood the safety instructions in Section 1.
4.1
Ensure that the load sling adjuster is suspended from a lifting
system in which all components are capable of supporting the
load to be lifted plus the load sling adjuster.
4.2
Confirm that the load does not exceed the safe working load of
the adjuster.
4.3
Position the carriage (A) at the centre of the beam (B) and
suspend the adjuster, via the carriage, from the hook or
shackle of the lifting device.
4.4
Ensure that the slings
/
chains/ropes around the load are
adequate and in good condition and that the load is directly
below the adjuster.
4.5
Attach slings/chains/ropes to adjuster load brackets (C).
4.6
Start to raise load and check whether the adjuster beam
remains level. If it does not,
lower the load
and adjust the
carriage towards the end of the beam which was low. Repeat
this check and adjustment until the beam lifts horizontally.
NOTE: DO NOT attempt to reposition the carriage when the
adjuster is under load.
Refer to fig.1
NOTE: Only fully qualified personnel should attempt maintenance or
repair.
5.1
Keep the load sling adjuster clean and regularly lubricate the
threaded rod (D).
5.2
Carry out a visual inspection every time the adjuster is used.
p
WARNING! The load chains and brackets are made from
special alloy steels and precisely heat treated. DO NOT
weld or re-heat treat.
5.3
Depending on the frequency of use and local conditions the
adjuster will eventually show signs of wear at which point it
should be replaced. Overloading or incorrect hooking may
distort the brackets, if this occurs replace immediately.
