WARNING! Follow all safety warnings and instructions for the trolley and hoist you
will use with this gantry crane. Additional selected operation points follow:
Applying the Load
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY AND DEATH:
Use warning signs and barriers on the floor beneath the gantry crane
where overhead maintenance work creates a hazard.
Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles, hard hat, heavy-duty work gloves,
and steel-toed work boots during operation.
1. Attach the load to the load hook securely
by properly rated, suitable means,
such as chains, shackles, hooks,
lifting slings, etc. Load must be attached
to prevent accidental disconnection.

2. Properly seat the sling or other device
in the base (bowl or saddle) of the hook
(see the left side diagram on Figure K).
Do not allow the hook hitch to
support any part of the load.
3. Do not apply the load to the point of the hook
(shown in Figure K on the right side diagram).
4. Do not operate the hoist unless the
hoist unit is centered over the load.
5. Do not pick up a load in excess of the rated
load appearing on the hoist or load block,
except during properly authorized tests.
Do not use a hoist overload limiting device
to measure the maximum load to be lifted.
6. Give specific attention to load balancing and
hitching or slinging to prevent load slipping.
