13.
Connect the 200cm / 6’ 6” extension number 2 to extension number 1. Slip the
connection flanges into each other and secure with the provided safety pin.
Note
: Section 2 must be supported by a suitable support stand or rostrum.
Tip
:
To avoid the sections jamming or getting stuck make sure that the sections
are joined parallel. Using a small amount of lubricant also helps. We suggest
rubbing the joints with an oiled rag prior to assembly.
14.
Connect a 200cm / 6’ 6” parallelogram rod to the parallelogram connection on the
middle section and secure it with the provided safety pin.
15.
Connect another 200cm / 6’ 6” parallelogram rod to the first parallelogram connection
and secure it with the provided safety pin.
Note
: Support the second parallelogram rod with the parallelogram support on
section 2 and secure with the locking pin as shown on page 10.
16.
Connect the angle adjuster to of the 200cm / 6’ 6” extension number 2. Release the
angle adjuster by removing the safety pins from the side of the angle adjuster. Secure
the angle adjuster to extension number 2 with a removed safety pin.
Tip:
The angle adjuster has two sidewise safety pins. These are either used for
the angle adjusters transport position or to secure the connections between
angle adjuster and extension as well as angle adjuster and platform.
17. Connect t
he last 200cm / 6’ 6” parallelogram rod to the rod on the angle adjuster and
secure it with the provided safety pin.
Tip
:
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.

19. Connect 2 standard rigging rods to the turnbuckles on the front side of the rigging
harness. Ensure that the locking pins are inserted fully.
20. Connect another 2 standard rigging rods to the first 2 standard rigging rods. Ensure
