The qualified person who inspects the jib crane is responsible for the scope and type of inspection.

In addition to the points described here, all points outlined in the other supplied product manuals must also be checked.

The decision whether the jib crane is in a flawless condition is the sole responsibility of the examiner. If defects are identified, they must be repaired. The examiner decides whether the jib crane must undergo another inspection after repair.

If locally applicable regulations specify further tests, these are likewise to be carried out.

In addition, the following points must be checked at the least:

    Inspect the nuts and lock nuts of the pillar mounting. See Inspecting the hexagonal nuts and lock nuts on the pillar mounting.

    When there is a dowel plate and intermediate plate: inspect the pillar base fastening. See Inspecting the pillar base mounting.
