8 CHECK-UP ON THE JACK
8.1 INSPECTION
8.1.1 Inspections types
(1) Introductory inspection: it precedes first use. The responsible competent person must
check up all new or repaired jacks to ensure the qualified fulfilment of requirements of
this OM.
(2) The jack inspections carried out regularly are generally divided to two groups
according to inspections intervals. Intervals depend on the state of critical parts of the
jack and rate of wear, damage or malfunction. Two main groups are here marked as
daily and regular ones. The appropriate intervals are defined as follows:
(a) Daily inspection:
visual check up carried out by the operation staff determined by the
user that is made at the beginning of each use.
(b) Regular inspection:
visual check up carried out by the competent person determined
by the user.
1) Current operation – once a year,
2) Heavy operation – every six month,
3) Special or occasional operation – according to recommendations of the competent
person at first use and according to the order of qualified employees (maintenance
workers).
8.1.2 Daily inspection
Check up at parts recommended in the section 8.2(1) „Daily inspection“, whether the jacks
are not damaged nor have no defect. Carry out this inspection also during operation in the
interval between regular inspections. Qualified employees will determine, whether any
defect or damage can constitute a hazard and whether the detailed inspection is
necessary.
8.1.3 Regular inspection
Carry out overall inspections of the jack in the form of recommended regular inspections.
The recommended regular inspection stated in the section 8.2(2) must be performed under
the supervision of the competent persons who will determine, whether the jack is
necessary to be taken to parts. These inspections comprise also requirements of the daily
inspection.
8.1.4 Jack occasionally used
(1) Submit the jack not being in operation for a period of one month or longer but less than
a year to inspection complying with requirements in the section 8.1.2 before follow-up
putting it into operation.
(2) Submit he jack not being in operation for a period of one year to inspection complying
with requirements in the section 8.1.3 before follow-up putting it into operation.
8.1.5 Report on inspection
Keep the record of performed tests, inspections and maintenances of jacks every time.
Carry out dating reports on inspections in intervals specified in the section 8.1.1 (2)(b) and
keep them in the place specified by the user.
