Scope of the inspection

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

 

Overview: jib crane 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 least:

 

*   Check the screws and nuts of the wall mounting. They must be present and tightened with the correct tightening torque. Otherwise, tighten screws accordingly.

*   Inspect the clamping buffer. It must be in order and be tightened to the correct tightening torque. Otherwise replace the clamping buffer or tighten it. See Installing the clamping buffer.

*   Inspect the slewing gear overrun. See Adjusting the slewing gear overrun.

*   Inspect the jib arm. The running surface of the hoist trolley must not exhibit any signs of damage or severe wear. Otherwise contact ABUS Service. See ABUS Service.

*   Inspect the jib bracket. It must not exhibit any cracking or other signs of damage. Otherwise contact ABUS Service. See ABUS Service.
