CABLE REEVING
NOTE: There are two types of cable (wire rope) available
on this crane; 6 x 36 WS and 35 x 7 (non-rotating).
Within the limits of the load and range charts and permissible
line pull, multi-part lines allow the operator to raise a greater
load than can be raised with a single part line. Various cable
reeving (part line) is possible with the boom nose and hook
block Figure 4-7. This reeving should be performed by a
qualified rigger using standard rigging procedures.
NOTE: Also use the rope grab when using the Main Hoist
with lattice extensions
In order to quick reeve the hook block without removing the
wedge socket on the end of the cable, see (Figure 4-2).
Boom Cable Reeving
When reeving the boom, always reeve the main hoist wire
rope through the rope grab; if also reeving the auxiliary hoist
rope, reeve the auxiliary hoist rope outside of the rope grab.
CAUTION
Do not reeve Auxiliary Hoist rope through the rope grab.
Do reeve the Main Hoist rope through the rope grab.
