7.3 When operate the crane, the crane operator must be concentrated, careful operation; Stricktly forbid grab to collide lifting limit switch, Stricktly forbid grab to collide pool wall, Stricktly forbid trolley to collide two side’s anti-collision;
7.4 After finishing operation every time, must move the grab out of the pool and 10cm from the ground, cut off main power, hang the switch box in specified place; Wash THE grab in clear, lubricate every transmission mechanism;
7.5 Every season, mechanic on leading, operative employees assist, to move the trolley to maintenance platform,
(1) Clean hoist trolley and open winch device;
(2) Fitted with bolts and nuts defecting component in enough;
(3) Lubricate trolley’s connecting shaft and limit switch axle;
(4) Test crane’s lifting limit switch and trolley’s left -right limit switch;
(5) Inspect and adjust crane’s lifting-lowering brake, should be in reliable, sensitive, two brakes should in same
direction.
