release this lever slowly to minimize dynamic effects of the load and to prevent
“birds-nesting” of the cable on the winch drum.
To shift the winch into the high-speed mode the winch switch on the front of
the joystick must be pressed. When slowing the winch, release switch to bring
the load to a gradual stop. When the winch is operated in this mode, available
line pull is reduced to approximately one half of the normal value.
8. Lift the load to the desired height. For safety, lift the load no higher than
necessary.
The crane is equipped with an anit-two block system, in the event that the
hook or block is raised beyond a safe position, a warning light appears on the
dash and, if horn switch is activated, an audible warning will sound. Some
cranes may be equipped with control disconnects which will prevent the winch
from raising the load and the boom from extending or lowering. To continue
crane operation, retract or raise the boom and/or lower the hook.
If the operator wishes to raise the hook block beyond the point at which the
two block is activated, he should select Rigging - Travel mode.
Continuing to pull the block up after contact has been made with the
boom head may result in damage to boom head and sheaves or the cable
may be broken causing the load to drop.
9. Swing and spot the load over the location where it is to be deposited.
10. Lower the load and unfasten the hook.
When spotting the load it may be necessary to alter the boom length or boom
angle. In making these adjustments, the operator must guard against
