Care, maintenance and repair
9.1 Care by cleaning
The Mobile gantry crane must always be kept in a clean
condition.
All plastic and lacquered surfaces should be cleaned
using a soft, damp cloth and a neutral cleaning agent.
Remove any excess lubricant or leaked oil using a dry,
lint-free cloth.
9.2 Maintenance
Step 1: Visual inspection:
Check the gantry crane for wear or defects be-
fore each use. The gantry crane must not be put
into operation if wear or a defect is found.
Step 2: Regularly grease the locking bolts and bearings
for the height adjustment levers with high quality
grease and oil the roller bearings.
Step 3: Check the hooks and locking bolts for wear or
defects and replace them if necessary.
Step 4: Make sure that all safety instructions on the gan-
try crane are clearly legible.
10 Checking the gantry crane
The gantry crane must be inspected for operational
safety by a qualified person in accordance with the pro-
visions of the German Ordinance on Industrial Safety
and DGUV Rule 100-500, Chapter 2.8, before first use
and as required at intervals of no more than 1 year. A
person may be considered qualified if he / she has at
least the qualification previously given to the expert. The
scope of testing and the inspection deadlines are i.a.
according to the results of the risk assessment to be
carried out.
Type, extent and deadlines of the tests described in the
DGUV Rule 100-500 are previous practice and comply
with the rules of technology. The test is essentially a vi-
sual and functional test. It covers the examination of the
condition of the components and equipment, the com-
pleteness and effectiveness of the safety equipment
and the completeness of the test book. If a test period of
no more than one year is adhered to, the operator can
assume that this period is adequate. Verification of the
gantry crane must be verified by a log book.
11 Disposal, recycling of used devices
Please take care in your own interest and in the interest
of the environment that all component parts of the ma-
chine are only disposed of in the intended and permit-
ted way.
11.1 Decommissioning
Immediately decommission disused machines in order
to avoid later misuse and endangering of the environ-
ment or personal safety.
Step 1: Eliminate all environmentally hazardous operat-
ing materials from the used device.
Step 2: If required, disassemble the machine into easy-
to-handle and usable components and parts.
Step 3: Dispose of machine components and operating
materials by the disposal channels provided.
When lowering the load there is a risk of crushing
the upper and lower limbs.
Use protective gloves!
NOTE!
Never use strong cleaning agents to clean the de-
vice. Such cleaning agents might damage or destroy
the device.
DANGER!
Maintenance and repair works must only be perfor-
med by specialists.
DANGER!
Observe the test regulations and safety instructions
for the lifting equipment used with the gantry crane.
Carefully read the appropriate sections in the
instructions accompanying the lifting equipment!
