After erection and inspection, test the hoist, bridge, and trolley as
specified herein. Perform the 125 percent rated load test with the bridge
and trolley located to obtain maximum loads on the bridge and runway
girders. Test the systems in service to determine that each component of
the system operates as specified, is properly installed and adjusted, and
is free from defects in material, manufacture, installation, and
workmanship. Rectify all deficiencies disclosed by testing and retest the
system or component to prove the crane is operational. [The Contractor
shall furnish test loads, operating personnel, instruments, and other
apparatus necessary to conduct field tests on each crane.]
3.3.3
Test Data
Record test data on appropriate test record forms suitable for retention
for the life of the crane. Record operating and startup current
measurements for electrical equipment (motors and coils) using appropriate
instrumentation (i.e., clamp-on ammeters). Compare recorded values with
design specifications or manufacturer's recommended values; abnormal
differences (i.e., greater than 10 percent from manufacturer's or design
values) shall be justified or appropriate adjustments performed. In
addition, high temperatures or abnormal operation of any equipment or
machinery shall be noted, investigated, and corrected. Record hoist,
trolley, and bridge speeds during each test cycle.
