Connect one of the 200cm / 6’ 6” parallelogram rods to the rod connection located on
the middle section and secure it the provided safety pin.

The angle adjuster has an integrated leveller. By turning it, the vertical plate
on the angle adjuster can be set to a perfect right angle. Correct setting of
the angle adjuster enhances the crane’s balance.
16. Connect the platform to the angle adjuster and secure with the removed safety pin
from the side of the angle adjuster. Ensure that the platform is level.
17. Remove the support stand or rostrum supporting the counterweight bucket section.

Before operation, all locking pins, locking screws etc should be inspected to ensure
that all assembly sections are securely fastened.
