, Know that each Chlorine Cylinder flange is securely resting on the full length of the
hook arm (within the spread limits, 80-3/4” to 82-1/4”).
4.
See Figure 1
, Prevent tilting of the Model 28 Chlorine Cylinder Lifting Beam and the load, by positioning the load’s
center of gravity in-line with the center of the crane hook.

Perform a test lift of several inches to verify the load is properly balanced and the lifter is level/horizontal.
6.
See Figure 1 & 2
, the Lifting Beam is level/horizontal and both of the Chlorine Cylinder flanges are securely resting
on the full length of both hook arms, proper lifting.
7.
