Anti-Two-Blocking Device
This crane should have a functional Anti-Two-Block and
Control Lock-Out System. Test daily for proper operation.
Two-blocking occurs when the load block (hook block,
overhaul ball, rigging, etc.) comes into physical contact with
the boom (boom nose, sheaves, boom extension, etc.). Two-
blocking can cause hoist rope (wire rope or synthetic rope),
rigging, reeving, and other components to become highly
stressed and overloaded in which case the hoist rope may
fail allowing the load, block, etc. to fall.
Two-blocking is more likely to occur when both the main and
auxiliary hoist lines are reeved over the main boom nose and 9250 Example decal. For reference only.

important when operating the crane.
Before actuating swing or any other crane function, sound
the horn and verify that all personnel are clear of rotating and

Never operate the crane when darkness, fog, or other
visibility restrictions make operation unsafe. Never operate a
crane in thunderstorms or high winds.
Always be aware of your working environment during

System software. This is done with particular screens and
buttons on the Operating Display Module (ODM). Once the
limitation is enabled using Item 3 in Figure 4-112, then it can

Symbol Description
This Symbol is an audible alert selection. If this symbol is shown, the audible alert is functioning.
Hitting OK can change this symbol to the Lock-Out Option (shown as the next Symbol below).
This Symbol is a Lock-Out Warning Symbol. If this symbol is shown, the optional Lock-Out is
functioning. Hitting OK will change the function to the audible alert option (as shown above).
Symbol Description
Enable/Disable Switch (ON/OFF) Symbol - The Enable/Disable (ON/OFF) Switch Symbol with the
orange box indicates the Icon is active and can change. The box in orange next to the “I” would
indicate enabled. The orange box next to the “O” indicates disabled. This symbol is used for all of the
WRL Limitation Screens.
The gray Enable/Disable (ON/OFF) Switch Symbol or “O” without the orange highlight means the
switch is not enabled (or not active).This symbol is used for all of the WRL Limitation Screens.
Working Range Limiter (WRL) Swing Angle Enable Indicator (Green) - Indicates Swing Angle
Limitation Enabled (Active).
Working Range Limiter (WRL) Swing Angle Warning Indicator (Amber) - Indicates the swing angle is
within 10° of a swing angle limit set point. (Refer to Table 4-8 – WRL Alarm Characteristics).
The warning buzzer slowly beeps when the swing angle is within 10° of the swing angle limit set point
and changes to a fast beep when the swing angle is within 5° of the swing angle limit set point.
For cranes that are equipped with the WRL Lock-Out Function, when the swing angle is within 10° of
the swing angle lock-out set point, the swing function commanded by the controller may be reduced or
suspended depending upon the weight of the load and the swing speed.
Warning
Due to the free-swing characteristic of the crane’s superstructure, the boom and load can
potentially swing past the swing angle set point, even if the swing function commanded by the
controller is reduced or suspended (locked out) by the WRL. This can happen for several
reasons, including how level the crane is and environmental conditions, such as wind speed.
Working Range Limiter (WRL) Swing Angle Stop Indicator (Red) - Indicates the swing angle is at a
4
swing angle limit set point. The warning buzzer is on (constant). For cranes that are equipped with the
WRL Lock-Out Function, the swing left or swing right crane function is locked out, depending upon
which limit is reached. This symbol is used for all of the WRL Limitation Screens.
Symbol Description
Symbol Description
Virtual Wall Number - this is used to indicate the virtual wall that is being defined or altered (there can
be up to 5 virtual walls). If the limitation is enabled, and this symbol is highlighted (orange
background), the value can be changed with the Up Arrow and Down Arrow function on the display or
jog dial (using an OK Button to begin and complete the value entry).
Accept Crane Position Point A symbol - If the limitation is enabled, this symbol allows the acceptance
of the current crane position (in terms of hook radius and swing angle) to be the first point (Point A) of
a line that defines the position and orientation of the virtual wall. If this symbol is highlighted (as shown
here with orange background), and the crane position is accepted with an OK Button, then the Point A
is considered defined.
Accept Crane Position Point B symbol - If the limitation is enabled, this symbol allows the acceptance
of the current crane position (in terms of hook radius and swing angle) to be the second point (Point B)
of a line that defines the position and orientation of the virtual wall. If this symbol is highlighted (as
shown here with orange background), and the crane position is accepted with an OK Button, then
Point B is considered defined. Note that if the Point A and Point B are not in allowable positions, the
wall is not defined, and the procedure is to be repeated with different A and B Points. For instance, the
2 points may not be so close to each other that a virtual wall is not clearly defined; the 2 points should
be at least 10 ft apart.

Symbol indicates Wall Number.
Remove Virtual Wall Symbol - If the limitation is enabled, and this symbol is highlighted (orange
background), this symbol removes the definition of the current wall by clicking the Enter Key.
Wall Proximity Value - this value is the approximate distance from the boom nose to the nearest wall.
It becomes a negative value when the boom is protruding beyond the boundary of the wall. (The Value
shown is for a typical example only).

LONG-TERM STORAGE
Guidelines for tires on cranes parked for long periods:
1. If possible, set crane up on outrigger jacks that are not
fully extended to allow for thermal expansion and
remove the load from the tires.
If the crane cannot be placed on outriggers, move the
crane at least once a month to prevent permanent
distortion of tires.
2. Keep the inflation pressure as recommended.
