Risk of accidents if the view is obstructed!
The reeved rope lines obstruct the view of the runway. The number of legally per-
missible rope lines can vary depending on the country in which you are working.
According to EU regulations, the hook block may be reeved no more than 4 times
when driving on the road.
G
Risk of accidents from the hook block swinging unexpectedly!
The hook block will suddenly swing forward if the retaining rope for the hook
block tears when tightening the hoist rope.
Therefore ensure that the banksman or other persons always stand at a safe
distance to the side of the hook block.
