USING THE CRANE
Before using the crane for the first time, perform a BEFORE AND AFTER inspection described on p. 14.
Risk of severe personal injury or death.
• Only use this crane if you are qualified and trained to use it. The operating instructions in this manual
supplement safe crane and hoist operation practices applied at your work site. Acquire a copy of the most recent
edition of ASME B30.17 and apply all operation, inspection, maintenance, and care recommendations.
• ALWAYS apply the safe material handling practices learned from your training program. Always follow the hoist
and trolley manufacturers’ instructions regarding proper use of their products.
• All personnel not participating in the use of the crane must stay out of the area during use. Be certain no part of
any person or object is under any part of the boom (I-beam) or the suspended load at any time and particularly
before lowering it. Instruct all persons to remain at a safe distance during operation.
• Always carefully watch the boom and any load hanging from it while using the crane.
• BEFORE the load is connected to the hoist, lock or immobilize the casters, for example with chocks.
• Only use this crane on level concrete (or equal) surface.
• DO NOT use the crane, tag it out of service, and notify your supervisor and authorized maintenance personnel
if: 1) you observe any damage or hear unusual noise during operation; or 2) you observe any warping or
deformation of the I-beam, uprights, casters, legs, yokes, load hook or hoist chain/cable.
• DO NOT operate a hoist with twisted, kinked, or damaged chain or rope. DO NOT operate a rope hoist unless
the rope is properly seated in its groove.
LOADING THE CRANE
Position the trolley and hoist directly above
the load. Center the trolley and hoist above
the center of the load and position the long
axis of the I-beam above the center of the
load. Proper and improper positioning is
illustrated in Diagrams 7A & 7B.
Connect the load to the hoist chain/cable,
according to the instructions supplied with
your hoist and the method applied at your
work site. Raise the load only as high as is
necessary to position it. Once the load is
properly centered above the work location,
lower it until it is supported by the ground/
work surface. Disconnect the load from the
hoist. Return the crane to its storage location.
If you must move the load to a different
location, move the crane and load
separately to the work location. Only use
the crane to lift loads.
If your crane is equipped with V-Groove
casters and V-Track is installed, the crane can
be moved on the track while loaded . The hoist
must be immobilized. Raise the load only as
far as necessary. Push the trailing end of the
crane, not the load. Push slowly and carefully
to avoid load swing.
RECORD OF SATISFACTORY CONDITION (THE “RECORD”)
Thoroughly examine the crane after assembling it and before putting it into service. Record the condition and
appearance of each of the frame members (I-beam, legs, yokes, cross braces), the wheels and/or casters, beam
clamps, and all fasteners (bolts, nuts, etc.). Thoroughly photograph the crane from multiple angles. Include close
range photographs of the casters and/or wheels, all labeling, and all beam clamp connections. Add the photographs
to the record. Collate all photographs and writings into a single file. This file is a record of the crane in satisfactory
condition. Compare the results of all INSPECTIONS to this Record to determine whether the crane is in satisfactory
condition. Do not use the crane unless it is in satisfactory condition. Purely cosmetic changes, like damaged paint or
powdercoat, are not changes from satisfactory condition. However, touchup paint should be applied as soon as
damage occurs. If your crane is not painted or powdercoated, touchup paint is not required.
