NOTE: Hoist and whip line lengths given in table will allow hook to touch
ground. When block travel below ground is required, add additional rope
equal to parts of line times added travel distance. Hoisting distance or line
pull may be limited when block travel below ground is required.

Maximum wire rope length on auxiliary drum when used as Whip Line is
190 m. When auxiliary drum is used as Luffing Jib Hoist, wire rope length
required on drum is 210 m. If auxiliary drum is used as Whip Line while
equipped with 210 m rope length, hoisting distance and line pull will be
limited. Consult factory for further information.
