English term or phrase: head machinery

Texto 1: [...] Operating In “AUTO BRAKE” Mode

1. Refer to the Crane Rating Manual for proper crane set up based on load radius, working area, etc.
2. Position the ***head machinery*** directly above the load. Connect the hook block or hook ball to the load.
3. With the engine at idle, move the pump control switch on the control lever to the desired position (“ON” for low speed or “OFF” for high speed).
4. Check that the drum lock switch is in the “ON” position. (The drum pawl will ratchet allowing the load to be lifted.)
5. Fully apply and latch the drum brake foot pedal on the operator's cab floor.
6. Move the Drum Brake Mode/Drum Control Lock switch on the right control console to the “AUTO BRAKE” position. Check that the free mode indicator light on the LMI panel is off.
7. Unlatch and release the drum brake pedal. [...]

To keep the load from lowering as it moves away from the crane, the operator must hoist up on the winch wire rope simultaneously. When booming up, the load will move toward the crane as well as raise. When booming up, the operator must hoist down as well to keep from raising the load. Booming up without winching down, can lead to “two blocking”. This is when the hook block, hook ball, or load contacts the ***head machinery***. Two blocking can lead to sheave or wire rope damage. [...]
