weights shall be subtracted from the listed rating to obtain the net load to be lifted. When
more than the minimum required parts of line needed to pick the load are used , the additional
rope weight as measured from the lower sheaves of the main boom nose shall be considered part of
the load to be lifted. When both the hook block and the head ache ball are reeved , the lifting
device that is not used , including the line as measured from the lower sheave of the boom nose
supporting the unused device shall be considered part of the load.

as: soft or uneven ground, out of level conditions, high winds, side loads, pendulum action,
jerking or sudden stopping of loads, hazardous conditions, experience of personnel, two
machine lifts, traveling with loads, electric wires, etc. Side pull on boom or jib is extremely
