TM5-3810-305-1011. When spin resistant wire is used, the allow-able rope loading shall be the breakingstrength divided by five (5) unless otherwisespecified by wire rope manufacturer.OPERATION12. Crane load ratings must not be exceeded.DO NOT ATTEMPT TO TIP THE MA-CHINE TO DETERMINE ALLOWABLELOADS.13. Crane load ratings are for lift crane service.Applications for other than lift crane (clam-shell and magnet) are permitted. Due tosignificant variations in materials and appli-cations, consult factory for optimum capabil-ity.14. Weight of hooks, hook blocks, slings and allother load handling devices must be consid-ered part of the load to be handled and mustbe subtracted from the load ratings to obtainthe allowable load to be lifted.15. Crane load ratings are based on freely sus-pended loads. SIDE LOAD ON BOOM ORJIB IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.16. Practical working loads depend on the sup-porting surface, wind velocity, pendulumaction, jerking or sudden stopping of loads,hazardous surroundings, experience of per-sonnel, proper operation, tire inflation, tirecondition, traveling with loads, multiplemachine lifts, proximity of electrical wires,etc. Appropriate reduction of load ratingsmust be made for these and any other condi-tions which may affect practical workingloads.17. Crane load ratings with an asterisk (*) besidethem are based on the machine’s structuralstrength. All other ratings are based onstability and do not exceed the specifiedpercentage of tipping load as determined bySAE Crane Stability Test Code J765a.18. For all boom lengths between the retractedand extended boom length, the rated loadsare determined by boom angle only shown inthe extended boom column. For boom anglesnot shown, use capacity of the next lowerboom angle.19. When either radius or boom length, or both,are between listed values, the smaller of thetwo load ratings shall be used.20. Load ratings are dependent upon the cranebeing maintained according to manufacturer’sspecifications.21. The maximum load which may be telescopedis limited by boom angle, hydraulic pressure,boom lubrication, etc. It is safe to attempt toextend and retract within the limits of the ca-pacity chart.22. It is recommended that load handling de-vices, including hooks and hook blocks, bekept away from boom head at all times.23. The boom angles shown on the capacity chartgive an approximation of the operating radiusfor a specified boom length. The boomangle, before loading, should be greater toaccount for boom deflection.24. DO NOT LIFT LOAD OVER OPERATOR.1-17
