Continue lowering the crane hook still further till the wire rope of grab has slackened which will ensure that the lever carrying the pulley block has swung to its lower most position. Now raise the crane hook slowly. Grab jaws will close themselves while grabbing the material when the jaws are fully closed, raise the grab up at full hoisting speed and carry at the place where material is to be discharged.
