The dead end of the rope in the wedge socket should be clamped as shown in the figure.
The clamp must not be used on the live part of the rope. This will seriously weaken the
rope. The sheave block should hang straight, and the striker plate bolted on top of the
block should meet the boom sheave plates squarely when pulled up snugly.
When resting the downhaul or sheave block on the ground for changing it, use the
following procedure to prevent fouling the load line on the hoist. Raise the boom and
lower the hoist until the hook nearly touches the ground. Then lay the hook on the
ground by lowering the boom, not the hoist.
