in seismic conditions.
NOTICE
• Lifting and handling equipment is subject to different regulations in each
Region. These regulations may not be specified in this manual.
• The crane system is designed for indoor use only. For other applications,
please contact the factory.
The National Safety Council, Accident Prevention Manual for Industrial Operations,
Eighth Edition and other recognized safety sources make a common point:
Employees who work near suspended loads or assist in hooking on or arranging a
loadshould beinstructed tokeep outfrom underthe load.From asafety standpoint,
one factor is paramount: conduct all lifting operations in such a manner that if there
were an equipment failure, no personnel would be injured. This means keep out
from under a raised load and keep out of the line of force of any load.
The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 generally places the burden of
compliance with the owner/employer, not the manufacturer. Many OSHA
requirements are not concerned or connected with the manufactured product but
are, rather, associated with the final installation. It is the owner’s and user’s
responsibility to determine the suitability of a product for any particular use. It is
recommendedthat allapplicable industry,trade association,federal, state,and local
regulations be checked. Read all operating instructions and warnings before
operation.
Rigging: It is the responsibility of the operator to exercise caution, use common
senseand be familiarwithproperriggingtechniques.RefertoASMEB30.9 for rigging
information, American National Standards Institute, 1430 Broadway, New York, NY
10018.

SAFE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The following warnings and operating instructions are intended to avoid unsafe
operating practices which might lead to injury or property damage.
Ingersoll Rand recognizes that most companies who use rail systems have a safety
program in force at their facility. In the event that some conflict exists between a
rule set forth in this publication and a similar rule already set by an individual
company, the more stringent of the two should take precedence. Load ratings are
marked on both sides of bridge rail and are clearly visible to the operator. These
ratings are established by Ingersoll Rand through exhaustive testing.
Crane operation should adhere to proven safety rules and practices outlined in
applicable and current ANSI and OSHA safety standards.
Safe Operating Instructions are provided to make an operator aware of dangerous
practicesto avoidandarenotnecessarilylimitedto thefollowinglist.Refertospecific
sections in the manual for additional safety information.
1. Onlyallow personneltrainedinsafetyandoperation ofthisrailsystemtooperate
and maintain this system.
2. When a “DO NOT OPERATE” sign is placed on the rail system, do not use until
repairs or adjustments have been completed and the sign has been removed by
designated personnel.
3. Before each shift, visually check the rail system for wear and damage. Never use
a rail system that inspection indicates is worn or damaged.
4. Never exceed the rated capacity of the rail system. Refer to labels attached to
the rail system.
5. Never exceed the maximum hoist speed. Refer to labels attached to the rail
system.
6. Pay attention to loads suspended from the rail system at all times.
7. Make sure everyone is clear of the load path. Do not lift a load over people.
8. Never use the rail system and attached equipment for lifting or lowering people,
and never allow anyone to stand on a suspended load.
9. Do not swing a suspended load.
10. Never suspend a load for an extended period of time.
11. Never leave a suspended load unattended.
12. Never weld or cut a load suspended from the rail system.

MAINTENANCE
The Free Standing Workstation Crane requires periodic inspection of suspension
hardware and all bolted connections.
WARNING
• Never perform maintenance on the system while it supports a load.
CAUTION
•Anyoperatingproblems such asa change inrollingeffort orunusualnoises
must be identified and corrected immediately.
Retighten all bolt connections (suspension hardware, trolleys, attached hardware,
etc.) two weeks after installation and again after two months of operation.
The maintenance schedule below is provided to minimize problems and identify
component wear. This chart should be used based on system use and/or local
requirements for safe operation. This schedule does not contain daily inspections
that may be required by local regulations.
If there are problems with the rail system (worn or damaged components) and
replacement is required, refer to appropriate parts list to order replacements. Some
components can only be ordered as complete assemblies. If they are worn or
damaged, the complete assembly must be replaced, not just the worn parts.
The trolley wheels have anti-friction bearings which are lubricated for life and only
require replacement parts under extreme conditions. If these wheels must be
replaced, they can be ordered separately - there is no need to replace the entire
assembly.
CAUTION
• During maintenance, tag system:
“CAUTION - DO NOT OPERATE - EQUIPMENT UNDER REPAIR”.
•Donotattempttorepairsystemparts.Replacepartorconsultanauthorized
Ingersoll Rand service center.
• Do not re-use locknuts, install new locknuts.
•Only allow personnel trained in operation and maintenance of the system
to perform service.
NOTICE
• Visually inspect system before each shift for wear or damage.
•Advisesupervisor or maintenancepersonnel, accordingto companypolicy
or procedure, of any needed maintenance. Replace all damaged system
components. Record all inspection, cleaning, maintenance and repair.
• After performing maintenance, test system to its rated capacity before
returning to service.

nCleaning
Itis important to schedule a periodic cleaning of the Overhead RailSystem and
its parts.
Frequency of cleaning cycles will depend on the use of the system, the personnel
operating the system, and the environment the system is installed in. Protecting the
system and its surfaces from abuse, wear, decay, or other harm, will improve its
appearance and service life.
In very harsh environments moisture and contaminants can quickly destroy the
integrity of the system. Although the system is made mostly corrosion resistant,
moisture, humidity, and chemicals in time take their toll. The maintenance and
preservation of the bridges, rails and suspension devices are just as necessary as the
maintenance of any equipment whether it be electrical or mechanical.
Use the following procedures to clean the components of the Overhead Rail
System
1. Clean all hanger assemblies with LUBRI-LINK-GREEN® or spray-on WD40® and
dry with compressed air.
2. Clean all trucks and trolleys using suitable cleaner. Dry using low-pressure,
filtered, compressed air.
3. Remove accumulated dirt, sediment, and corrosion on the metal plates,
bushings, rollers and pins.
WARNING
• Solvents and certain cleaning solutions may be hazardous to your health.
Beware of mixing cleaners or solvents and the vapors they produce. Use
adequateventilation. Wear protective clothing, goggles,gloves, andother
appropriate safety wear. Follow manufacturers directions.
CAUTION
• Clean up all excess cleaning fluids, Oil, Grease or spills immediately after
they occur.
NOTICE
•During routine cleaning always check for worn, damaged, or broken parts
needing replacement.
GENERAL SYSTEM DISASSEMBLY
Never disassemble components or assemblies further than necessary to accomplish
the needed repair. If excess force is used, a good part can be damaged during the
course of disassembly. Do not use heat to free parts unless they are already worn or
damaged beyond repair, and no additional damage will occur to other parts. As a
general rule the channel that makes up the rail and bridge sections should be
removed by disassembling the separate pieces at the spliced joints. In instances
where the rail or bridge sections must be removed in complete assemblies, use a
safetycableorchain to restrict thedistanceasection may fallwhenremoved.Review
all safety procedures listed in the preceding chapters to familiarize yourself with
safety issues and precautions.
CAUTION
• Never disassemble the system alone. Always have someone help you.
1. Shut off and bleed down air supply.
2. Disconnecttheairsupplyfrom the bridge air stanchionandrunwayairregulator.
3. Remove one end stop from the bridge section.
4. Remove the festooning, hoist, positioner or lifting device from the bridge
section.
5. Remove an end stop from one end of each runway.
6. Remove the bridge section and festooning trolleys.
7. Remove safety cables from the runways.
8. Loosen mounting tabs on I-Beam clamp.
9. Remove rail section.
10. Repeat for opposite side.

REQUISITOS DE ESPACIO
Tómese el tiempo necesario para seleccionar la mejor ubicación de instalación para
gozar del máximo rendimiento de las capacidades del sistema. Asegúrese de que se
disponga del espacio adecuado, libre del sistema y los accesorios para no dificultar
el tránsito de personas y materiales hacia y desde el área. Asegúrese de que se
disponga de espacio libre para la altura de las cargas transportadas y espacio de
trabajo necesario.
Defina visualmente dónde se instalará el sistema trazando las carrileras y el puente
en el piso del espacio de trabajo, o delimitando el emplazamiento propuesto de las
carrileras y el puente en el piso con cinta de enmascarar. Esta maqueta le permitirá
desplazarse por la ruta de carga y la trayectoria propuestas.
El espacio libre mural final y lateral tendrá la misma distancia para todos los sistemas
de rieles que se describen en este manual. Las distancias entre las carrileras y el
puentepueden variar enfuncióndeltipoderiel,elganchooel carro que seutilizarán.
