MLC165-1 OPERATOR MANUAL SETUP AND INSTALLATION
Pad Eye Usage for Wire Rope Reeving
See Figure 4-96 for the following procedure.
General
Some rotation-resistant wire rope supplied by Manitowoc is
equipped with a pad eye welded to the leading end of the
wire rope or to the button on the end of the wire rope.
A rigging line can be attached to the pad eye to make it
easier to reeve the load block.
Safety
1. Do not exceed the capacities given Figure 4-96.
2. Make sure the rigging line and attaching hardware (clips
and rope connectors) are rated for the capacities given
Figure 4-96
.
3. Inspect the pad eye prior to each use, replace if:
• Any original dimensions have changed
• Cracks or breaks exist in the metal or weld
WARNING
Flying Part Hazard!
The pad eye on the end of the wire rope has been
provided for reeving purposes only. Any other use is
neither intended nor approved.
The pad eye can break and fly apart with considerable
force if it is overloaded, not used properly, or not
maintained properly.
