8 Practicing Safe Crane Operation
•
When moving a load with the crane, stand facing the suspended load;
move the load away from you.
•
Perform only one operation at a time.
•
When you are not using the pendant station, hang the unit as shown
on
page 12
; do not let it lay horizontally.
•
If a problem occurs during the operation of the pushbutton station, stop
operation immediately and contact the person in charge of maintenance.
Prior to inspection or repair of the pendant station, disconnect power at the
source following lockout/tagout procedures as outlined in ANSI Z244.1.
•
Check the enclosure and insulating material for any damage.
8.1 General Handling
•
Do not place the pendant in a pool of water or immerse it in water.
•
Do not let the pendant slam into a hard object, wall or other object.
•
Do not attempt to turn the knobs or switches beyond their travel limits.
WARNING
If you detect cracks or other abnormalities in any part, replace the part
immediately. Failure to do so may cause the crane or hoist to function
improperly.
Replace a split or cracked enclosure and rain-proof button caps, cable armor,
cable or other parts immediately to prevent water from permeating the
pushbutton enclosure. Water entering the enclosure could cause an electrical
shock or cause the crane and hoists to function improperly.
