Instructions for use and safety
All lis using the wire slings must be planned, possibly, according to the individual instructions.
The personal who is using the liing gear, should be trained and instructed in safe use and safe work.
The user is obliged to familiarise himself with the national requirements.
This document must be available to users for planning the li.
As a minimum planning must include:
1. Choosing the correct wire sling, according to the load diagram.
(when using more than one wire sling WLL and length must be the same).
2. Checking the WLL as well as the date on the sling (must be present).
3. Checking the weight of the load and the balance.
4. Checking for no sharp edges and that it is installed with correct working diameter.
5. The condition of the wire sling (must be checked for defects before and aer use).
6. Securing and the actual li (make sure if there are special requirements to training).
7. No twisting of the sling (see page 6 and 8)
At no time during use must the wire sling be:
• Overloaded.
• Twisted.
• Exposed to shock impacts .
• Exposed toor to very sharp edges.
If this can not be avoided, the sling must not be used again until it has been inspected by an expert
IOne must use an appropriate protection if the sling is used around sharp edges. One must show caution
during use and pay attention to whether the protection or sling slides.
Steel wires, in general, must not be unnecessarily exposed to damaging chemicals, e.g. acid, lime etc.
General visual control must be carried out before every use of the wire sling. If the sling is signicantly
damaged or worn it must be discarded immediately.
The wire sling must be discarded when, the following points apply:
• the individual strands are worn and this has an eect on the nominal diameter of the strands in relation
to the liing capacity. Check for wear due to friction on the individual wires. Especially where the sling is
bent
• the individual strand is not worn or there are wire breaks that aect the strap’s liing capacity
• the number of breaches on a rotation length exceeds 10
• there are kinks (i.e. a loop that is pulled out )
• the sling is flattened or edged
• the wires in a strand are bend, e.g. due to exposure to sharp edges
• the sling is damaged by rust or chemical exposure
And / or other damages that questions the ability of the wire sling.
