4.4.2 2 Inspection of the jib crane – Suitability for use<br />
• The jib crane is marketed considering inspections carried out by the<br />
manufacturer on similar prototypes, subjected to checks for their suitability<br />
for use on the structural parts (columns, brackets, arms,etc.).<br />
• DONATI SOLLEVAMENTI S.r.l. carries out its check of manufacture within<br />
the company “Quality system”, certified by ICIM with No.0114, according to<br />
standard UNI EN ISO 9001: 2000. This guarantees the constant quality and<br />
conformity of the prototypes inspected of all the parts of the jib cranes.<br />
• The inspection procedure, described below, refers to ascertaining the<br />
functional and performance responsiveness of the jib crane installed in its<br />
place of use, complete in all its parts (fixings, structure, lifting unit, lifting<br />
accessories,etc.).<br />
• The inspection of the crane installed is the responsibility and task of the<br />
user and must be carried out by specialized staff (installer) who will<br />
assemble it, by scrupulously following the instructions in this manual.<br />
• The installer must carry out the inspection and complete all the “Inspection<br />
Report” and complete the “Suitability for use” certificate, contained in the<br />
”Checks Register” included, when required, with this publication.<br />
§ After carrying out the “empty” test runs, carry out the dynamic test runs; these test runs are carried out<br />
with masses of value corresponding to the lifting capacity shown on the crane label uprated by the<br />
coefficient of overload 1.1 (load equals 110% of the nominal load). The static test runs are carried out with<br />
an overload coefficient of 1.25 (load equals 125% of the nominal load.).<br />
All tests must be carried out in no windy conditions.<br />
Proceed to the testing of the jib crane, in the following way:<br />
§ Empty test runs:<br />
• activate the switch/disconnecting switch<br />
• put the emergency stop switch in the position which allows movement<br />
• press the “gear/alarm” button (if available)<br />
• check the lifting function by pressing the ascent/descent buttons<br />
• in the case of movements at two speeds check the functionality<br />
• check of the flexing of the arm by manual rotation<br />
• check the functioning of the electrical limit switches of all the movements and/or the clutch device,<br />
when available<br />
