The best mounting position for the Cranegard Load Limit Switch is adja-
cent to the wire rope dead end point. It also could be installed adjacent to
the equalizer sheave where wire rope movement is small (a few inches).
The amount of wire rope movement around the equalizer sheave should
be measured by marking the wire rope, noting the amount of movement,
and allowing enough clearance for such movement when mounting the
Cranegard unit.
