1)  Remove all shipping materials and save them with the shipping container for future use.

2)  

2A

Adjust the lift point to optimize the lifter's 

hang angle:

2.1) Remove the retaining bolt and loosen 

the pivot bolt (fig. 2A).

2.2) Move the lift point to the appropriate 

position.

1

2.3) Reinstall the retaining bolt and tighten 

both bolts securely.

3)  Suspend the lifter from appropriate 

hoisting equipment:

3.1) Select a crane and/or hoist rated for the Maximum Load Capacity plus the 

Lifter Weight.

Note: Any lifter use must comply with all statutory or regulatory standards for hoisting 
equipment in your region.

3.2) Disengage the tilt latch and raise the lift bar (fig. 3A-C).

1..... Moving the lift point 

forward

 (away from operator) helps keep the hang angle vertical while the lifter is 

loaded

; moving the lift point 

rearward

 

(towards operator) helps keep the hang angle vertical while the lifter is 

unloaded
