Information on the inspection record
Contrary to any deviating inspection intervals of the manufacturer's operating instructions for the winch and
gripper, they must be serviced and inspected annually by a qualied person who has been trained in this activity
in accordance with the instructions from the manufacturer. Should service not have been performed for more
than a year, it must be carried out immediately in accordance with the specications of the manufacturer before
the service lift may be used. During annual service, the drive and pressure rollers of the gripper (Tractel Greifzug)
are also to be replaced with factory-new rollers impressed with the date of manufacture.
Winches and grippers must undergo a general overhaul by the manufacturer or a specialist company authorised
by the manufacturer in accordance with the manufacturer's specications, however no later than after 10 years or
250 operating hours (whichever comes rst).
Should anything unusual be observed with regard to winches or grippers (e.g. strange noises, deformations etc.),
the service lift must be decommissioned immediately and without further movement. The components must be
examined immediately by qualied personnel who are trained in these activities from the component manufac-
turer.
2.1 Personnel
The inspection steps of this inspection plan may only be carried out by a qualied service lift operator and in the
presence of another qualied person (for further information, see original operating instructions).
The persons at the wind power station (WPS) must be able to make an emergency call at any time.
The service, maintenance and initial commissioning of the service lift and other work on the service lift may only
be carried out by personnel who have been trained by ZARGES and qualied for these activities. Work on winches
and grippers may only be carried out by personnel who have received the relevant training by the manufacturer.
Service and maintenance of the winch and gripper may only be carried out by the component manufacturer
themselves or by trained personnel authorised by the component manufacturer.
A general overhaul may only be carried out by the component manufacturer themselves or by personnel author-
ised by them (see original operating instructions and manufacturer's operating instructions for the winch and
gripper).
A ZARGES service lift may only be operated by personnel who have been instructed in proper operation and be-
haviour in case of emergency as part of their operator training. The participation of qualied and trained opera-
tors in such training must be conrmed with a certicate. The certicate must be renewed every 2 years.
