OPERATION
NOTICE:
It may be necessary for some or all of the following steps to be completed using two people.
WARNING:
Using this crane requires several steps which must be followed each and every time the crane is
used:
1.
Adjusting
the
boom
2.
Adjusting
the
legs
3.
Positioning
the
crane
4.
Securing
the
load
5.
Adjusting
the
load
height
6.
Moving
the
load
7. Folding the legs for storage
Each of these steps is discussed in detail in the following sections. Failure to follow all of these instructions can
lead to serious injury and/or death.
Adjusting the Boom
1. To adjust the boom’s extension length between the
crane’s three boom positions, the extension pin must
first be removed from the boom.
2. After the extension pin is removed, slide the boom ex-
tension in or out of the boom until the desired position
is reached.
3. The extension pin must then be inserted into the
boom extension holes that are in line with the boom’s
pin holes before the crane is operated further. The
capacity of the crane in each of the extension posi-
tions must be noted prior to attaching a load and that
capacity must not be exceeded.
WARNING:
The crane’s extension pin must be in place before operating the crane and the capacity for that ex-
tension position must not be exceeded. Operating the crane without the extension pin or with a load that exceeds
capacity may result in equipment failure leading to property damage, serious personal injury, and/or death.
Adjusting the Legs
1. If not already lowered, the crane’s legs must both be lowered
so the casters rest on the floor prior to using the crane to lift a
load.
WARNING:
Lifting a load with the crane while either of
the legs is in the folded position could cause instability of
the crane. The crane may tip or fall over causing property
damage, serious personal injury, and/or death.
2. To adjust the spread of the crane’s legs, the leg positioning
pin must be removed from each leg that is to be repositioned.
3. Each leg can then be swiveled into the desired position of the
three possible positions. The leg positioning pin from each
repositioned leg must then be inserted into the leg positioning
holes and through that leg’s pin holes.
WARNING:
Failure to properly insert the leg positioning
pin into each leg can cause instability in the crane and
may lead to property damage, serious personal injury, and/
or death.
