To avoid injury, keep hands and fingers clear of all spreader
bar holes injury will occur.
Keep hands and fingers clear of trolleys (also known as trunnion).
The lug bolt holds the trolleys (trunnion) in place. Therefore,
to avoid injury or death, lug bolt must always have on safety nut
and clip.
VERY CRITICAL (There
is only 1/16 of an inch clearance between trolley and flange). The bottom flange of the beam, where trolley (trunnion) roll, must
be kept clean of small particles to prevent trolley from jamming.
The graphite strip’s purpose is to glide trolleys (trunnion)
with ease against wear pads.
The center lug on bottom of bar is strictly to be used for light
weight lifting with straight vertical lift, such as lifting welding
machines or compressors.
Before changing off-set positions on spreader bar, the bar must
be set on level CONCRETE ground before adjusting spacer positions
to avoid tilting.
10. Before changing settings on trolleys to off-set positions on
each side, unhook both cable trolley turn-buckles. Turn-buckles
and cable must be tied-up safely during change.
When changing position on trolley, after removing safety nut
and bolt, sliding one trolley will automatically and simultaneously
move the other trolley. If rigging is attached at the time of changing
the trolleys positions, hoist spreader bar up about 2 feet and SLIGHTLY
swing crane and trolley. Then, the trolley will begin to move.
Before changing settings on trolleys back to standard position
equaling space on both sides of bar, set the bar onto level CONCRETE
ground to avoid tilting when changing positions. Then, reattach
turn-buckle cable and make sure the pin has safety clip reinstalled.
