Moving the Load
Before and while SLOWLY moving the crane, pay close attention to the crane’s immediate surroundings. Ensure that
all obstacles are moved from the crane’s path and do not neglect to consider the boom’s overhead path as well as
the path that the legs will follow on the floor. Before moving the crane and load, position the load at its lowest possible
height. Once any height restricting obstacles (i.e. engine compartment) have been cleared by the load, stop and repo-
sition the load to its then current lowest possible height and continue doing so until all obstacles have been cleared.
After the load has been successfully moved to the desired location, it should be lowered on to or attached to a surface
or device (i.e. engine stand) that will adequately support the load.
WARNING:
The crane is designed for lifting, moving, and lowering a load and is not intended to hold or support
a load for extended periods of time. Moving or stopping the crane too quickly or recklessly can cause the load to
swing or rotate dangerously and may result in property damage, serious personal injury, and/or death.
After the load is removed from the crane, the crane’s legs can be folded up for storage.
1. Remove the leg positioning pin from each of the crane’s legs.
2. Rotate the legs outward until they clear the crane’s frame.
3. Separately lift each of the legs and rotate them until they are vertical. Insert the leg positioning pin into the leg and
then through the leg storage bracket as shown in Figure 16. Ensure that the pin has secured the leg onto the leg
storage bracket and that the leg positioning pin is fully inserted into the leg.
WARNING:
Failing to properly secure the legs can cause the legs to fall unexpectedly and may result in property
damage, serious personal injury, and/or death.
Folding the Legs for Storage
After the load is removed from the crane, the crane’s legs can be folded up for storage.
1. Remove the leg positioning pin from each of the crane’s legs.
2. Rotate the legs outward until they clear the crane’s frame.
3. Separately lift each of the legs and rotate them until they are vertical. Insert the leg positioning pin into the leg and
then through the leg storage bracket as shown in Figure 16. Ensure that the pin has secured the leg onto the leg
storage bracket and that the leg positioning pin is fully inserted into the leg.
WARNING:
Failing to properly secure the legs can cause the legs to fall unexpectedly and may result in property
damage, serious personal injury, and/or death.
