Ropeblock warning and application instruction

WARNING

Where equipment has swiveling and moving parts there are potential safety

hazards. Care should be taken when working with or repairing such equipment.

If used incorrectly breakage could occur inflicting injury or death.

When equipment is in use do not put hands:

1. Between sheaves, side plates and guards.

2. In area of becket, hook, hook nut and cross head.

Take great care to avoid clothing becoming trapped.

Repair and reeving should be carried out by trained personnel only. Power

should be switched off before operations are carried out. Work should only take

place when equipment is seated on a firm surface.

Limitation of use

1. Safe working load (SWL) should never be exceeded.

2. Crane blocks should be used in vertical lift only.

3. Rigging blocks should be used only as in design specifications.

Blocks should not be used for towing unless specifically designed and marked

for that purpose.

4. Swivels should be used in either vertical or horizontal plain only.

5. Horizontal and vertical lead sheaves used only as indicated in description.

6. Shock or side loading should not be applied unless equipment is designed

for that purpose.

7. Load should always be in seat of hook or eye.

NEVER AT POINT

Inspection and Maintenance

Inspection should be carried out weekly or where equipment is used

infrequently, each time it is used by the operator.

Every 500 operating hours or every 4 years, hook and hooknut are to be

dismantled, inspected and retested (proof loaded).

9

Ropeblock warning and application instruction

Thorough examination by a competent and trained person should be carried out

annually on equipment for mobile and crawler cranes.

Electric overhead travelling crane blocks at each inspection and service.

Particular attention should be paid to the following:

1. Wear in hook, centre pin, becket and threads in hook and nut.

2. Play in sheave bushes or bearings.

3. Spacer bolts, nuts and lynch pins.

4. Check for cracks in welds.

6. Wear to holes in side plates and becket.

If cracks or heavy gouges appear, the equipment should not be used and

qualified opinion should be sought. If grooved and the section reduced by more

than 5% the item should be replaced.

Repairs should be done by grinding. NO welding should be carried out unless

prior authority is obtained from Ropeblock B.V.

If the holes in crosshead, sideplates, becket, eyes or yaws are enlarged by more

than 5%, the part should be replaced. Any parts to be replaced should be

purchased from Ropeblock B.V., or manufactured under their instruction.

All repairs to be carried out by responsible personnel and great care should be

taken in the re-assembly of the equipment and captivating parts i.e., grub

screws, lynch pins, etc. Check and refit only correct sizes and threads.

Lubrication As a general rule sheaves, cross heads and bodies should be oiled through nipples:

1. Each week for E.O.T. crane blocks.

2. Each week for frequently used mobile and crawler crane blocks, lead sheaves

and swivels, monthly for infrequently used equipment or each time it is used.

3. Double sealed or shielded bearings do not require lubrication
