Checks on entering service, handover
WARNING
Unauthorised operation
Danger to life and limb if the installation is operated without previous inspection.
The installation may only be put into service if it has been checked according to the accident prevention regula‐
tions.
By means of suitable measures carried out by the owner or on his behalf, the owner must ensure that the load
handling attachments and machinery ready for operation function in complete safety before they are first put into
service. The specified measures must allow for the static and dynamic features of the installation.
The following checks must be carried out when the installation enters service:
● The supporting structure must be in good condition and the load capacity of the hoist unit must be checked.
● Safety devices must be complete and effective.
● Clearances and safety distances must be maintained.
● The emergency-stop device must be checked by actuating the emergency stop.
When the unit is first put into operation, it must be checked to ensure that it is used as intended in all possible
applications, in each case with the maximum permissible load. Operation of the safety devices must be checked
(e.g. by lifting an overload). At the same time, the behaviour of the hoist unit must be checked when it is not used
correctly.
Various checks of the installation must be carried out before it is handed over:
● Check to ensure it is suitable for operation
● Acceptance inspection
Any test and inspection records that might be required can be compiled as soon as safe operation is ensured.
The test and inspection records (test and inspection booklet; observe relevant national regulations) must be hand‐
ed over when the installation is handed over.
The installation may be used as intended after it has been handed over.
