i4507 Offshore Lattice Boom Crane Instruction Manual
55M4507OBE00-B
The purpose of this manual is to provide the customer with the operating procedures
essential for the promotion of proper machine operation for its intended use. The
importance of proper usage cannot be overstressed. All information in this manual
should be read and understood before any attempt is made to operate the machine.
Since the manufacturer has no direct control over machine application and operation,
conformance with good safety practice in this area is the responsibility of the user
and of the operating personnel.
All procedures herein are based on the use of the system under proper operating
conditions, with no deviations from the original design. Alteration and/or
modication of the equipment are strictly forbidden without written approval from
RaycoWylie Systems.
The i4507 RaycoWylie Systems Crane Information Center must be regarded only
as an aid to the operator. When the parameters are set correctly, the indicator will
warn the crane operator of an approaching overload condition that could damage
the equipment, property, and/or cause injury to the operator or people working near
the crane and its load.
This system must never be used, under any circumstances, as a substitute for the
good judgment of a crane operator when carrying out approved crane-operating
procedures. The crane operator is responsible for the safe operation of the crane. The
indicator equipment will not necessarily prevent crane damage due to overloading
and related causes if not set properly.
Before operating a crane equipped with a RaycoWylie system RCI, the operator
must carefully read the information in both this manual and the crane manufacturer
operator’s manual. He must also be aware of all the federal, state and local safety
standards and regulations applicable to his job. Correct functioning of the system
depends upon routine daily inspection. Any suspected faults or apparent damage
should be immediately reported to the responsible authority before using the crane.
