Refer to the 760TB750 Traveling Block Assembly, drawing 5944A121-004 and the
following procedure to attach the hook or traveling beam to the traveling block:

CAUTION: Use of non-API surfaced equipment may cause becket wear or failure
and loss of load-carrying capacity.

CAUTION: During attachment, ensure the lift eye is securing the block and that
adequate stability of the block has been achieved by chaining or
other suitable supports.

NOTE: Where possible the block should be horizontal during this operation, with
the becket parallel to the ground.

1. Disengage one side of the becket by removing one becket pin (item 2).

WARNING: The becket may swivel if it is not supported. Use a sling and
winch to support the becket, and position personnel and
equipment away from the swing radius.

2. Once it is disengaged, move the becket to the neutral position and store the
removed becket pin with the locknut and lockwasher installed (to prevent thread
damage). Make sure the becket pin is stored standing in a safe location to prevent
pin working surface damage.

3. Bring the hook or traveling beam into position and rotate the becket until the holes in
the becket and upper hanger are aligned.

WARNING: Keep fingers, hands, and arms out of the pinching/shearing zones
at all times. Use appropriate slings and tools for positioning the
block becket. DO NOT attempt to move it by hand.

4. Check the overall stability of all components and support or secure them as
necessary before re-installing the pin, locknut, and lockwasher. Tighten them until
snug and bend the lockwasher tabs into the locknut.

4.6 Reeving the Block Procedure

5.3 Turn-of-Nut Tightening

Reference: Research Council on Structural Connections (RSCS), Specifications for

Structural Joints using ASTM A325 or A490 Bolts (June, 2004).
With any tensioning method of making connections, it is important to install bolts in all
holes of the connection and bring them to a snug-tight condition to compact the joint.
Tightening should begin at the most rigidly fixed or stiffest point and progress toward the
free edges both in the initial snugging-up and in the final tightening.

Equipment consistency and reliability depends on assuring that the joint is well
compacted and that all bolts at a joint are at a snug-tight condition prior to application of
the final required partial turn. It is critical that the element not turned in tightening must
be prevented from rotating while the required degree of turn is applied to the turned
element.

Nut-Rotation from Snug-Tight Condition a,b

Disposition of Outer Face of Bolted Parts

One face normal to bolt Both faces sloped no

Bolt Length Both faces axis and other sloped no more than 1:20 from
(under side of head normal to more than 1:20 normal to the bolt axis
to end of bolt) bolt axis (beveled washer not used) (beveled washer not used)

Over eight /3 turn /6 turn 1 turn

a Nut rotation is relative to bolt regardless of the element (nut or bolt) being turned. For bolts installed
by /2 turn and less, tolerance is ± 30°; for bolts installed by /3 turn and more, tolerance is ± 45°.
1 2

b Applicable only on connection in which all materials within the grip of the bolt are steel.

c No research has been performed by AISC to establish the turn-of-nut values for bolt lengths
exceeding 12 diameters. Therefore, the required rotation must be established by actual test in a
suitable tension measuring device that simulates conditions of solidly fitted steel.
