OPERATING CONTROLS - CRANE NBT40-1 SERIES OPERATOR MANUAL
a. Slowly hoist up until there is a slight tension on hoist
rope. It may be necessary to override A2B function
to tension rope.
b. A2B weight needs to be resting on wedge socket so
that there is slack in anti-two-block-chain.
NOTE: There needs to be enough slack in A2B chain so
that A2B switch does not switch between open
and close during travel.
If chain is too tight, road bounce causes A2B switch
to open and close numerous times and this can
damage switch.
