PULLING (SPREADERS, COMBI DEVICES)
After the chain set has been mounted on the spreader tips, the combi device can also be
used for pulling.
For this, the chains must be tightly tensioned and must be tensed only in the pulling direc-
tion. To tension the chain, only one lock can be pressed in, so that the chain can be pulled
through the holder.
If the range of movement is not sufficient, tension chains or other means must be used so
that the spreader can be reopened and the chain re-tensioned.
ATTENTION!
Store the pulling chains with locks mounted about 4-8 in from the end.
Check the chains prior to every use. Check that the weight does not
stress the tip of the hook, but lies in the middle of the hook instead.
» Do not make any repairs on your own.
» Do not stress the chains beyond the permitted load carrying
capacity.
» Do not load with a jerking movement.
» Do not galvanize or paint the chains.
» Do not shorten the chain by knotting it.
» Do not subject the chains to heat stress.
» Use the chains and accessories only between –40°F and +392°F.
» During all maintenance work, observe the applicable safety
regulations
» Chains must only be used for lashing. Lifting loads is not permitted.
ATTENTION!
Chains must not be used if:
» Deformations, cracks, signs of corrosion are present.
» The wire diameter of the chain link has decreased by 10% of the
nominal thickness.
» An individual chain link has been permanently stretched.
» An individual link has been enlarged by more than 2%.
» The internal chain pitch over a measuring distance of 11 chain links
has increased by more than 2%.
