INSPECTION
•
Before first use examine all components of the device, in orderd to exclude damage caused by improper handling or
storage.
•
Before each use of the beam, carry out thorough inspection to check the beam condition and proper operation. Carefully
check all elements of the beam, paying particular attention to any damage, wiping (loss 10% or more of the nominal value
of part thickness), excessive wear, corrosion, abrasion, cuts and malfunction.
•
Before each use check legibility of the marking.
•
Inspect all additional connected parts (sling, shackles, hooks, etc.) to prevent accidental detachment of the load.
PERIODIC INSPECTION
At least once a year, after 12 months of use the beam should be withdrawn from use for a detailed interim inspection. The
inspection can be carried out by the person responsible in the workplace for the interim inspections of lifting equipment and
trained for this purpose. Periodic inspections can also be carried out by the equipment manufacturer or a person or a company
authorized by the manufacturer. When device is used in difficult working conditions mentioned period can be shortened.
WITHDRAWAL FROM USE
The beam must be immediately withdrawn from use if there is any doubt about the condition of the device during inspection or its
operation. The device may be readmitted for use only after a manufacturer's detailed inspection, and manufacturer's written
consent for its use.
THE ESSENTIAL SAFETY RULES AND ESSENTIAL PRINCIPLES OF USE
•
Plan the lifting operation, establish the weight of the load and prepare the landing area ensuring that it will take the weight.
•
Beam must be visually and mechanically inspected before use. Do not use beam if any devective material is detected.
•
The operator must wear the obligatory security equipment during the whole operation (hard hat, safety shoues, safety
gloves and hi-vis vest). If necessary use safety harnesses.
•
Only qualified operators should use this device. The operator should be trained to use the device.
•
In addition to this manual, follow the health and safety regulations in force during operation in the working area. Always use
more restrictive rules and principles.
•
Beam is used for lifting and lowering loads weighing up to WLL indicated on the beam.
•
Never apply more force than the WLL marked on the beam.
•
Do not overload beam with any dynamic action.
•
The weight of the beam, together with attachments, must be added to the weight of the load when calculating the total load
that will be imposed on the crane hook.
•
Beam is not an emergency device for lifting people and it should not be used for this purpose.
•
Do not use beam contrary to its intended use.
•
Do not lift loads over an area occupied by people.
•
Do not leave suspended load unattended.
•
Do not change the beam design, repair or replaceable elements included in the kit.
•
Any modifications / repairs should be made by qualified personnel.
•
Before operation always check connection between all connected parts (shackles, slings, wires, hooks, etc).
•
Check the stability of the load attached to the beam.
•
The center of gravity of the load should be directly below the point of the hook device or exactly between the point of the
hook.
•
Maintain the horizontal of the suspension beam. Maximum inclination 6 .
•
The use of the beam with other devices for lifting loads must be in accordance with the instruction for use of these devices.
•
It is forbidden to use the kits in which the beam is included, in which the operation of any component disrupts the operation
of other components.
•
Avoid working where user may swing and hit an object or where lines may cross or tangle with that of another worker in the
area.
•
The auxiliary elements used with beam should be equipped with locking devices to avoid unvoluntary unlashing the load.
•
Always pay attention to the position of the suspension beam.
•
Watch carefully the suspension beam when elevated, both when loaded and when not.
•
Avoid suddenly stops and jerks while using the beam.
•
Always secure bottom attachment plate pins with cotter.
•
Do not use the device in acidic and chemically aggresive environment.
•
Use in temperature range from -20 to +100 .
•
The beam should not be used in difficult weather conditions (ice, snow, fog, strong wind, storm).
•
In case of any doubts as to the condition and usage of the beam, please contact the manufacturer of the device.
BEAM LOAD CARRYING CAPACITY (WLL)
The load suspended under the beam should be always connected to two of the bottom attachment plates, which are connected to
the beam with pins secured by cotter. Maximum operating load carrying capacity (WLL) is always indicated on the beam.
TRANSPORTATION
The beam should be transported in packaging protecting it from damage or getting wet, e.g. bags made of impregnated fabric or
in steel / plastic / waterproof wooden cases or boxes.
MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
When using the beam, protect it against mechanical, chemical and thermal damage. Do not use a damaged or malfunctioning
device. Clean a dirty device with a damp cloth. Store the beam indoors, away from moisture and sources of heat. Store the
suspension beam in a horizontal position.
