General Assembly Procedure – GF–8
Before and during assembly observe the Safety Guidelines.
For all GF-8 Standard-Versions:
1. Secure the base dolly so that it cannot move or roll. Lock all wheel brakes. Move the
steering rod towards the centre of the dolly or remove it so that the set-up personnel
do not trip over it.
2. For the Standard-Versions 1 to 8 bolt the 90cm crane mounting column to the base
dolly (pivot height 154cm ). Make sure that the 4 locking bolts are locked securely.
Tip
:
The carrying handle on the bazooka should point away from the steering end
of dolly.

As an option a 3 stage column is also available. It consists of 2 x 30cm / 1ft column
extensions and a 60cm / 2ft Mounting Column. Assemble the column extension
between the column and the base dolly locking the 12 locking bolts securely.
