MLC650 VPC-MAXâ„¢ OPERATOR MANUAL SET-UP AND INSTALLATION
PERSONAL FALL-PROTECTION
Manitowoc has provided anchors (2) and lifelines (1)
throughout the crane and attachments (see examples in
Figure 4-2
) to which workers can attach their personnel fall-
protection equipment.
HANDLING COMPONENTS
The major components are equipped with lifting lugs. The
lifting lugs are identified by the following symbol (see
Figure 4-3
) in the assembly illustrations along with a number
to identify the number of lift points used for the lift.
In some cases, a forklift is required to lift components. When
required, the lift points are identified by the following symbol
(see Figure 4-3
) in the assembly and disassembly
illustrations.
When lifting lugs are not provided, use nylon lifting slings. If
wire rope or chain slings are used, install protective covering
(such as sections of rubber tire), (see Figure 4-4
) between
slings and component being lifted.
It is the crane owner’s/user’s responsibility to ensure that all
lifting slings, hooks, and shackles are in safe working order
and capable of handling the load applied to them.
WARNING
Fall Hazard!
To prevent falling from any height during crane assembly,
personnel shall wear fall-protection equipment.
• Anchors and lifelines are designed to handle only one
person at a time.
• Do not use anchors for lifting or pulling loads.
