Maintenance of joint rod (lifting eye) and load hook
Wear of joint rod (lifting eye)
Immediately replace lifting eyes with inadmissible wear (for example if they are beyond the
max. tolerance), damage, deformations, surface cracks and corrosion.
The nominal size must not be worn more than 5 % (max. tolerance). Measurement can be
performed with the accuracy of a slide gage.
Welding is prohibited!
Load hook wear
Have load hooks (Powertilt, Powertilt for Easylock) with inadmissible wear (for example if
they are beyond the max. tolerance), damage, deformations, surface cracks and corrosion
immediately replaced by a Wacker Neuson service center.
The nominal size must not be worn more than 10 % (max. tolerance). Measurement can
be performed with the accuracy of a slide gage.
Welding is prohibited!
If the spring mechanism of snap link
C
does not automatically close any more, stop work-
ing with the load hook and have the error repaired by a Wacker Neuson service center.
