WARNING
Swinging or falling machinery could seriously injure or be fatal to personnel
who are near the machine. Secure all components to the machine before
lifting.
WARNING
If not properly secured, this machine can
fall and cause fatal injuries to personnel.
Pay special attention to vertical flange
installations.
• Chucking feet must be secured to the
workpiece.
• Setup fingers and safety weld plates
should be utilized when possible.
• If not possible, contact CLIMAX to
determine a custom solution.
To avoid the risk of a falling machine, secure the
machine by tack-welding safety blocks over the
upper jaws or by using clamps bolted to the
underside of the leveling feet (safety blocks and clamps not included with the
machine).
WARNING
Do not remove the crane until at least one of the securing methods is in
place and the jacking bolts are tightened to 60 ft-lb [149 Nm].
NOTICE
If the torque value cannot be achieved without acceptable workpiece
deformation, the operator must apply their own secondary support and
restraint devices.
WARNING
The jacking bolt must be inserted so that the full extension groove is inside
the end cap.
Do not extend the jacking feet past the full-extension groove in the
threaded screw (Figure 3-12), as that may cause the jacking screw to be
overloaded and result in damage to the screw. If needed, add additional leg
sections to minimize the length of the threaded jacking screw that is
exposed.
