Operating Instructions
Read ENTIRE IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION section at beginning of this manual
including all text under subheadings therein before set up or use of this product.
Note: Once Assembly is complete, tighten ALL Bolts before initial operation.
Lifting and Lowering
1. Locate the hole on the Boom with a weight limit
higher than the weight you will be lifting.
For example: Locate the 1/2 TON
hole on the Boom for a load that is
under 1/2 Ton. See Figure F.
2. Adjust the Boom Extension(24) so the hole farthest
from the hook-end aligns with the chosen hole
on the Boom(23). Secure into place by inserting
the Boom Pin(30) through all aligned holes and
securing in place with the R-Pin(14). See Figure F.
WARNING! Keep clear of the object that is being
lifted by the Shop Crane. Be aware of the possibility of
a load slipping off the Hook and Chain. An item that falls
from the Crane can cause serious injury.
3. Move the Shop Crane so that the
Chain / Hook(26) are directly above the
Load to be lifted. See Figure F.
4. Securely attach the Chain / Hook(26)
to the Load. See Figure F.
