6.2. Replacing the spring (where present)
The lifting fork springs are very stressed parts and are subject to normal wear during use. The springs with defects (for
example cracks) or stress due to heavy loads, also following onerous or careless use, must be replaced.
The spring must be replaced in the following circumstances:
•
When cracked.
•
When stressed.
•
In any case, after 2 years from the purchase date due to natural deterioration of the spring.
The replaced spring must be disposed of as special waste.
6.3 Replacement of the restraint (belt with ratchet)
The restraint (belt or chain), must be replaced in the following cases:
•
wear and tear due to normal use of the device;
•
damage (cuts on the strap and/or deformation of the metal parts) resulting from improper use and/or as a result of
severe stress even after containment of the load (for having fulfilled its purpose);
•
after 2 years from date of purchase in any event, due to natural deterioration of the belt.
The device replaced must be disposed of as special waste
6.4. Conservation
The equipment must rest on the ground in a stable position during storage and in a dry place far from dangerous
substances which could affect the components (for example acid, alkaline solutions and solvents).
7. USE LIMITATIONS
The equipment was designed and dimensioned for use equal to 20,000 lifting cycles. Once this limit is reached it must
be serviced in our workshop and if necessary replaced.
Wear of the lifting fork is subject to various situations (such as conservation and care during use), therefore the lifting
cycles also depend on the aforementioned circumstances.
