DOWN HAUL WEIGHT
Installing the Down Haul Weight
Whenever a single part line is used on a crane to lift a load,
the load indicator transmitter must be removed from the
boom head and installed onto the down haul weight. Without
the transmitter installed and attached to the load pin, the load
indicator receiver in the cab will not register the weight being
lifted by the single part line.
To install the load indicator transmitter in the down haul block
perform the following steps:
1. Disconnect the transmitter wire (Figure 5-10) from the
load pin wire.
2. Remove the transmitter from the boom head by
removing the transmitter mounting hardware (bolts,
lockwashers and flat washers).
3. Follow instructions at the beginning of this section to
remove the hoist block.
4. Using the hardware removed when removing the load
indicator transmitter, install the transmitter onto the
downhaul weight (See Figure 5-11).
5. Remove the rope guide pin indicated in Figure 5-11 from
the down haul weight.
6. Attach the wire rope deadend socket to the down haul
weight using the load pin removed when removing the
hoist block. Install the bolt and nut.
7. Install the rope guide pin. Be sure the wire rope is placed
between the two pins.
8. Connect the transmitter wire to the load pin wire.
9. Lift the hoist block off of the ground. Be sure the wire
rope is engaged in all sheave grooves.
