Inspections protocols

Prior to every application of the clamp it is important the clamp operator inspects the clamp for

proper functioning. Attention must be paid to the following (see illustration(s) 2 for part reference):

„ Ensure that the plate surface with which the clamp is to come into contact is free of scale,

grease, oil, paint, water, ice, moisture, dirt and coatings that might impede the contact of the

gripping surface with the load.

„ Check the body (N) and shackle (S) for damage, cracks or deformation (this may indicate

overloading).

„ Check the screw spindle (O) for its function by opening and closing the clamp with the hand

grip (X). The spindle should be easily rotatable over its full length. The clamp must open and

close properly (when the operation of the clamp is stiff or heavy, it should be removed from

operation for inspection).

„ Check whether the W.L.L. and the jaw opening stamped on the body corresponds with the

load.

The screw thread of the spindle is the most critical part in the IPBTO clamp and requires extra at-

tention during inspection. In case of damages the clamp will not open and close properly. This will

have a negative effect on your safety precautions when the clamp has not been closed on the

profile properly. Moreover to prevent any possible damages is as equal important, as damages on

the spindle may indicate rough or careless use of the clamps. In doubtful cases an authorised re-

pairer should assess the clamp.

How to operate the clamp

IPBTO10 clamps are suitable as a temporary tackle eye on HP profiles.

See illustrations 3 - 7 for part reference.

1. Open the clamp by turning the handgrip (X) counter-clockwise, so that jaws fit comfortably over

the profile (3).

2. Hold the clamp in position over the profile and close the clamp by turning the handgrip (X)

clockwise. Ensure that the clamp closes properly and securely (E) (4).

3. The clamp may now be loaded.

4. After the load is at its destination the clamp needs to be fully free of load. The shackle (S) must

be able to move freely (6).

5. The clamp can now be removed. Open the clamp by once more turning the handgrip (X)

counter-clockwise and remove the clamp from the profile (7).
