The hook block must be sized to the number of line parts. For example, do not use a six part line hook block on a three part line reeving. Contact
your National Crane Distributor or Manitowoc Crane Care to order the proper hook block.
CAUTION
If cable is wound from the storage drum, the reel should
be rotated in the same direction as the hoist.
