When reeving the crane in preparation for any job, it
should be kept in mind that hoisting and lowering
speeds decrease as the number of parts of line in-
creases. For the most efficient use of the crane, it is
therefore desirable to use the minimum required num-
ber of parts for lifting the load as determined by refer-
ring to the load rating chart.
This crane incorporates a “Quick Reeving” boom head
and block which do not require removal of the wedge
and socket from the rope in order to change the reev-
ing. Removal of two pins in the boom head and three
in the hook block will allow the wedge and socket to
pass through.
Never use less than the number of parts called for by
the load rating chart.
If it is not practical to alter the reeving during the course
of the work, the required number of rope parts must be
determined on the basis of the heaviest load to be lifted
during operations.
When the required number of rope parts has been de-
termined, reeve the rope as shown on page 3-12. At-
tach a wedge type rope socket to the wire rope dead
end and secure it to either the boom peak or hook
block as required. Dead end the rope on the hook
block for an odd number of line parts, and on the boom
peak for an even number of parts.
As shipped from the factory, the crane has sufficient
wire rope provided to allow the hook to each ground
level with any boom length and elevation when reeved
with minimum parts of line required for the load being
lifted. Refer to the Crane Capacity Chart for parts of
line required.
