1. Center the overhead crane directly over the load unit.
2. Wrap lifting slings around the crosshead. Remove any slack in the lifting chains or slings while keeping
tension to a minimum.
3. Attach the lifting chains to the lifting rings, or wrap lifting slings around the crosshead. Remove any slack
in the lifting chains or slings while keeping tension to a minimum.
4. Remove the covers on the ends of the crosshead. The crosshead covers must be removed to access the
manual locking bolts and to clean and lubricate the bolts. Six 1/4-20 screws (three top, three bottom) on
each cover need 5/32 hex (not included). Hand-tighten when reinstalling the covers.
5. Loosen the crosshead locking bolts in 1/4 turn steps (counterclockwise). The following figure shows the
