Service and maintenance 

 

4.1  General remarks 
 

Since the OKTOPUS

®

 system is a load lifting attachment both the manufacturer and the op-

erator bear a high responsibility to guarantee the relevant safety standard throughout the en-

tire operating time. Thus, service and maintenance are of great importance. 
For maintaining a high level of operational safety the OKTOPUS

®

 GLASS-Jack GL-CC 1200 

has  to  be  inspected  by  the  service  workshop  of Wirth  GmbH  or  by  an  especially  qualified 

person 

 

at  least  every  12  months  or  in  shorter  intervals,  if  required  by  national  standards  or 

regulations or 

 

after special incidents. 

Additional operative and scheduled maintenance and service work may only be performed by 

a skilled expert. Maintenance and service work may only be performed when the device is 

taken out of operation. 

 

Before performing any repair or maintenance work turn off the OKTOPUS

®

turn the main switch to position “OFF“.

 

Defective parts may only be replaced with original spare parts. They will be provided on re-

quest after consulting with the service team of the OKTOPUS

®

 manufacturer. Using not orig-

inal spare parts leads to exemption from liability by the manufacturer. 
In order to perform maintenance and service work an appropriate tool kit has to be used. 

 

Maintenance always has to be followed by a functional check.

 

If  damages  cannot  be  repaired  by  the  operator’s  staff  the  Wirth  GmbH  service  workshop 

needs to be informed. 
 
 

4.2  Mechanical system 

 

The mechanical system is sturdy and provided with a surface protection. Maintenance works 

on your side comprise  

 

daily visual inspection of the mechanical components of the 

OKTOPUS

®

 GLASS-

Jack GL-CC 1200 for damages before startup. 

The OKTOPUS

®

 GLASS-Jack GL-CC 1200 is a load lifting attachment. Therefore, repairs on 

the mechanical function parts shall exclusively be carried out by the OKTOPUS
