ASSEMBLING THE CRANE 

  If the crane is improperly assembled, it might malfunction and result in serious personal injuries. 

Read this  instruction manual in its entirety before assembling the crane; only assemble the crane if you fully 

understand both the associated risks and the manufacturer-approved assembly procedure discussed below. 

  Follow  the assembly procedure described in Steps 1-8.  If you have any questions about the assembly process, 

contact 

TECHNICAL SERVICE

.

 

  ONLY qualified personnel should assemble the crane. 

 

DO NOT 

modify the crane in any way. Modifying the crane automatically voids th

and might make the crane unsafe to use. 

 

DO NOT

  use the crane if you notice damage to,  or deformation of,  the beam,  uprights, or  any  part  of the leg 

assemblies.  Using the crane despite weakness of a structural component could result in crane collapse.   

 

DO NOT

  use the crane if any of the hardware (bolts, nuts,  clamps,  etc.) is damaged  or missing. Contact  the 

Replacement Parts Dept

.

 to order replacement parts. 

 

DO NOT 

use the crane if any of the casters are damaged.  A damaged caster may cause the crane to tip over, and 

the possibility that the crane will tip increases while it is used to hoist or support a load.

Step 1

UU

:

 (for 2,000 lb. (AHA-2-#-#) and 4,000 lb. (AHA-4-#-#) models only)  

 

 

Insert the end of each leg into one of the leg openings in the yoke as shown below. Fasten the legs to the yoke with 

clevis pins (33-112-034 or 28-112-031) and secure the clevis pins with hitch pins. Insert a knob into the yoke until the 

end of the knob presses firmly against the leg. 

 

 

                                       

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 2: (for Come-Along accessory kit only) If you have a “Come-Along” kit used to adjust the height of the crane), 

install the cable loops before inserting the uprights into the yokes. Twist the provided cable loops into a figure “8”; then 

fold it over onto itself (this will double loop the cable). Slide the doubled loop around the receiver of the yoke.
