SAGE F HE OAD IFTING TTACHMENT
The load lifting attachment is set down on the load to be picked up.
Attention: Ensure good contact to the load! Take into account any reduction in load
capacity by air gap, material, material thickness, material shape or reduced contact
surface (Tab. 1, Tab. 2). The full adhesion force is only reached on workpieces with a
smooth, level and clean surface, with easily magnetisable material with a sufficient
thickness. In the case of surfaces covered with scale, only approx. 1/3 of the adhesion
force is reached!
The load can be lifted and transported.
After the end of the lifting or transport operation, make sure that the load has been safely
deposited and cannot fall over or slip.
For releasing the load lifting attachment from the load, press the hand lever backwards until
reaching the stop. The magnet is levered off the load via the eccentric device and can be
removed.

NSPECTION ERVICE
According to national and international accident prevention and safety regulations hoisting
equipment must be inspected:
• in accordance with the risk assessment of the operating company,
• prior to initial operation,
• before the unit is put into service again following a shut down
• after substantial changes,
• however, at least once per year, by a competent person.
Attention: Actual operating conditions (e.g. operation in galvanizing facilities) can
dictate shorter inspection intervals.
Repair work may only be carried out by specialist workshops that use original TIGRIP 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 CMCO 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.
Repairs may only be carried out by specialist workshops that use original TIGRIP spare
parts.
After repairs have been carried out and after extended periods of non-use, the load lifting
attachment must be inspected again before it is put into service again.
The inspections have to be initiated by the operating company.
