H
The auxiliary hoist is arranged with a lower rope pull (104 KN/10,6 t
[23 370 lbs]) than the main hoist ( 110 KN/11.2 t [27 600 lbs]).
This means that a correspondingly high number of falls must be reeved, so
that the same load can be lifted as with the main hoist.
H
If you run the auxiliary hoist rope over the left head sheave, you must
extend the main boom to a total length of at least 21 m (69 ft) before lifting
a load. Otherwise, the rope angle would exceed the maximum permissible
value.
