Inspections Before Starting Work; Usage Of The Load Lifting Attachment - Evers TPZ Manual De Instrucciones

Repair work may only be carried out by specialist workshops that use original Evers spare
parts. The inspection (mainly consisting of a visual inspection and a function check) must
determine that all safety devices are complete and fully operational and cover the condition of
the unit, suspension, equipment and supporting structure with regard to damage, wear,
corrosion or any other alterations.
Initial operation and recurring inspections must be documented (e.g. in the Evers works
certificate of compliance).
If required, the results of inspections and appropriate repairs must be verified.
Paint damage should be touched up in order to avoid corrosion. All joints and sliding surfaces
should be slightly lubricated. In the case of heavy contamination, the unit must be cleaned.

NSPECTIONS
Ensure that the surface of the load, in the location where the load lifting attachment is applied,
is free from grease, paint, contamination and scale and is not coated, so that the protective
lining can make good contact with the surface of the load.
Check the fixed jaw and the clamping jaw for wear and defects. Both jaws must have clean
profiles.
The protective lining must be even and free of grease and oil. It must be immediately replaced
when its remaining thickness is 2.5 mm or less.
Check the complete load lifting attachment for damage, cracks or deformations.
The load lifting attachment must open and close easily and freely.
The protective lining must be replaced when the thickness is less than 2,5 mm.
Checking the chain for attaching the unit (only TPZ 0,75)
The chain sling must be inspected at regular intervals on the basis of DIN 685-5. It must in
particular be replaced in the event of wear exceeding 10% of the nominal thickness of at least
one of the chain links.
Chain slings must be checked for outer defects, deformations, cracks, wear and pitting.
An elongated or worn chain must be replaced.
Checking the rope
Rope slings must be inspected at regular intervals on the basis of DIN 15020-2. They must be
checked in particular for kinks and damage.
Visual inspection of the complete rope for outer defects, deformations, kinks, crushing, broken
individual strands, swelling, rust damage (e.g. pitting), strong overheating and heavy wear of
the rope end connections (e.g. pressure sleeve).
Rope damage results in malfunctions and lasting damage to the load lifting attachment.
Protruding, broken wires may cause injuries.

SAGE
Position the board clamp suspended in the suspension (e.g. hook, shackle, etc.) over the load
to be picked up in such a way that it is suspended perpendicularly above the assumed load
centre of gravity. Lower it until it can be raised on the handle in order to unload the rope. As a
consequence, the clamping jaw opens. If this is not the case, the board clamp can be easily
opened by pulling on the handle section of the clamping jaw. Place the load lifting attachment
in this condition onto the load. By lifting the suspension (e.g. hook, shackle, etc.), the rope is
tensioned and the clamping jaw safely grips the load. It is essential to ensure that the rope (or
the chain in the case of the TPZ 0,75) is not twisted and that it runs over the return sheave!
After the transport operation, the board clamp can be removed from the load by lowering the
suspension (e.g. hook, shackle, etc.) until the rope is completely unloaded, the clamping jaw
can be opened and the load lifting attachment is free.
