General plan

 

Gebot Anleitung lesen

Observe the product manuals!

The points listed here are a summary of the section “Check before beginning work and switching on” and the chapter “Inspection” in the other supplied product manuals, and provide only an overview.

In this general plan you will find listed the tests which must be performed on the crane at various intervals.

This general plan is a summary of the information from different chapters and different product manuals.

Information on the tasks to be carried out can be found under the following:

─     Tasks which must be done every day (these are primarily functional tests) are usually performed by the crane operator prior to beginning work.

 

 

These tasks are therefore listed in all product manuals in the chapter “Operation” in the section “Check before beginning work and switching on”, as well as in the product manual “Operating the ABUS crane”.

─     Tasks which are performed in a regular inspection are carried out in accordance with the national regulations by, for example, ABUS Service, the end user's own maintenance personnel, or specialist service or inspection companies.

These tasks are therefore listed in all product manuals in the section “Inspection”. See Scope of the inspection.

─     Lubricant changes which must be performed in a general overhaul, a regular inspection, or in some other deviating interval, are carried out by, for example, ABUS Service, the end user's own maintenance personnel, or specialist service companies.

These tasks are therefore listed in this and all other product manuals in the section Lubricants.
