Step 5
Position the clamp(s) to balance the load. Position the clamp(s) so the lifting
force of the crane is directly in line with each clamp’s lifting shackle, and the
load is evenly distributed (Fig. 48).
Step 6
Engaging the clamp:
A. Press down on the lifting shackle until the cam retracts.
B. Install the clamp over the plate to the full depth of the throat opening.
C. Release the shackle so the cam engages the plate.
Step 7
Lift slowly and smoothly. The operator should stand clear of the load and never lift
over people or machinery.
Step 8
After the plate is fully supported and at rest, the GXRPC clamp can be removed by
retracting the cam away from the plate. To do so, press down on the lifting shackle
WARNING!: Do not begin to lift until all personnel are clear of the lift area.
Never stand under or near a member being lifted
.
WARNING!: Do not jerk or bump load while lifting.
WARNING!: Do not side load.
Never exceed an angle of 10°
from vertical.
WARNING!: Never attach a
clamp directly to the crane
hook. Use a sling between
the crane hook and clamp to
minimize interference in the
clamp operation
