Product Manual

Inspection
In order to maintain quality operation of the product, a regular inspection schedule should be followed by
each operator. All inspections should be reported and maintained in a dated record log located at the end of
this manual. You will notice that the rst entry has been made as the clamp passed an inspection prior to
leaving OZ Lifting Products headquarters. These records should be available to all personnel involved with
the product and should be made available to OZ Lifting Products LLC® when a warranty issue is in question.
Operators should inspect clamps before each usage. Each clamp must pass an inspection by a qualied
person every six months to remain in service. Inspect for wear, damage, cuts, cracks, corrosion, impact
damage, pits, burrs, rough surfaces, sharp edges, rust, paint build-up, excessive heating, alteration, and
missing or illegible labels. During any inspection, also test that the clamp functions smoothly and that the
spindle threads are in good condition. Ensure that the jam nut is present on the threaded spindle rod. If
any problems are observed, the Beam Clamp should be placed out of service until it can be repaired. Use
only OZ Lifting Products LLC® for replacement parts. The Beam Clamp should be taken annually to an
authorized repair center for professional inspection.
