24. Install switches or valves that will shut off power to
the hoist, in locations where they can reached by
anyone that may be entangled in the wire rope
before being drawn into the hoist or any other "pinch
point".
25. "Deadman" controls, which automatically shut off
power to the hoist whenever the operator leaves his
station or releases the control lever, should be
installed whenever practical.
26.
NEVER
allow anyone to position any part of their
body under a suspended load.
27. Avoid sudden "shock" loads, or attempting to "jerk"
a load free. This type of operation may cause heavy
loads in excess of rated capacity, which may result
in failure of the wire rope, hoist or crane structure.
28. Whenever possible, install the hoist in a location
that is not immediately adjacent to a "normal" oper-
ator's station.
29. All hoist controls shall be located within easy reach
of the operator. The controls shall be installed in
such a location that the operator is removed from
the electrical path to ground if the load, rigging, or
wire rope comes in contact with, or within proximity
to, an electrically charged conductor.
30. Before operating the hoist, be sure
ALL
safety pro-
cedures for the equipment or vehicle the hoist is
mounted on are properly followed and/or in place.
If there is any question regarding the safety recommen-
dations, or the safe operation of your Braden hoist,
please contact the Braden Technical Service
Department.
