OPERATION
OPERATOR QUALIFICATIONS: Safe and efficient crane
operation requires skill, extreme care and good judgement,
alertness, concentration and knowledge of and rigid
adherence to proven safety rules and practices. No person
should be permitted to operate a crane or hoist:
1.
who does not possess above characteristics.
2.
who is not qualified or has handicaps that could
adversely affect such operation.
3.
who has not been properly instructed.
4.
who has not been informed and does not have a
thorough knowledge of all applicable safe operating
practices, including those in this book as well as hitching
equipment and practices.
NOTE: See applicable National, State and Local
Safety Codes and regulations for additional
requirements relating to Safe Operating Practices,
including American National Standards ANSI
B30.2.0 and ANSI B30.16 as published by
American Society of Mechanical Engineers.
OPERATING RULES: Operating rules listed below are
an earnest effort to encourage SAFETY and are not
intended to take precedence over individual plant safety
rules and regulations or rules set forth by various applicable
codes.
A good operator operates his crane as smoothly as
possible and knows and follows the suggested rules below
for safe, efficient crane handling.
T
ake time to become familiar with performance and all
functions of the crane including safety devices.
H
itch loads securely. This is the joint responsibility of the
hitcher and the crane operator. Never lift load with
loose slings or with sling hooks attached to crane
hook.
I
f the brakes do not hold, do not operate crane. Report
defect immediately to supervisor.
N
ever leave load hanging from crane or hoist when not
attended.
K
now the safe capacity of crane and chain slings, rope
slings, etc. Do not make lifts above safe capacity of
crane or slings.
S
ee that the immediate area is clear before moving a
load. Do not lift loads over persons.
A
void bumping other cranes on a runway unless
specifically authorized to do so. Never move or bump
another crane having a warning sign displayed.
F
irst be sure to hoist load high enough to clear all
workmen and obstructions before moving bridge or
trolley.
E
nergize each motion gradually and avoid abrupt, jerky
movements of the load.
T
ake up slack from sling and hoisting cables before
lifting load.
Y
ield to people in a working area; allow them time to get
out of danger.
F
ollow operating and maintenance procedures described
in manufacturer’s manuals to operate and maintain
bridge, traverse and hoist.
I
nspect crane frequently. Be alert for unusual or erratic
conditions. Be certain the crane is SAFE to operate at
all times.
R
epair electrical apparatus or make other major repairs
only when specifically authorized to do so. Do not
change fuse sizes. Never attempt to close a switch
having a “DO NOT OPERATE” sign or card attached.
S
top crane, hoist or traverse under normal operating
conditions before engaging limit switches. Limit switches
are safety devices and should not be used as a normal
operating control.
T
raverse the bridge and traverse to a position directly
over the load before starting to hoist. The hoisting
chain or rope should be kept vertical to avoid swinging
the load as the lift is started.
Make sure all INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
CHECKS have been made before turning on power.
LEARNING THE CONTROLS: After making certain the
traverse is completely and properly installed with traverse
connected to power supply and all pre-operation checks
made, the operator should learn the controls.
