3. OPERATION GUIDE
• Estimate the plate that is to be lifted or moved and make sure it does not exceed the rated load of the clamp.
• This clamp with pivoting shackle can be used for lifting and transporting plates at various angles, but the load capacity is
reduced, as seen on the diagram (Fig.1 below) showing the load/force capacities.
• The pivoting shackle has the added advantage of providing enough clamping force to hold a plate safely, even
when transporting large-sized plates with the 2-legged lifting system. Slipping or damage to the clamp is
prevented.
• When using two clamps to transport large-sized plates, pay attention to the reduced capacities of the clamps.

3.2 LIFTING SAFETY

• Do not stand or place hands or feet under the raised plate.
• Raised loads are not to be left unattended for a longer period of time.
• The operator may only start to move the load when he is sure the load will not overturn and that all personnel have
• left the work area.
3.3 TO LOOSEN LOAD
• Move the function lever clockwise to disengage the jaws.
4. MAINTENANCE
To maintain continuous and satisfactory operation, a regular inspection procedure must be initiated so that worn or damaged parts
can be replaced before they become unsafe.
If faults are detected the clamp must be put out of service immediately. The intervals of inspection must be determined by the
individual application and are based upon the type of service to which the clamp is subjected.
The components of the clamp are to be inspected for damage, wear, corrosion or other irregularities. Repairs may only be carried
out by trained professionals using Tundra Industrial approved parts. Contact your nearest dealer for advice.
