3 SET UP THE EQUIPMENT
3.1 CHECK BEFORE FLIGHT
With the crane assembled there are some things to be checked before transporting it into the location
of shooting.
The first thing to do is to ensure that the crane will have a good power source to perform. The power
requirements for the crane are detailed in the technical specifications.
Since the crane can work at 110V or 220V it is important to know how
this power source is going to be and adjust the selector inside the
electronic box accordingly.
Once the selector has been adjusted, connect the Main power cable into the electronic box, switch
the AC breaker ON, connect the Hand Command using the Hand Command cable and press the
START button. The emergency button needs to be released. Now the crane can be moved slightly to
verify that the movement of the crane is good.
Be sure that the guides of the sections are clean and there are no
frayed cables on the crane. If so, they need to be replaced.
Visually verify that the leveling head corrects the level properly.
Also check the pressure of the wheels. If the wheels are flat, the crane will be hard to move. If they
are low, inflate them accordingly.
Once everything is checked the crane can be strapped into the transport vehicle. The base of the
crane needs to be secured into the base of the vehicle with straps. The Arm needs to be strapped
into the base of the crane with two straps in the front and one in the back. The telescopic arm needs
to be secured to prevent the arm to extend while transport and it needs to be strapped into the vehicle
to prevent any Pan movement of the Arm. The leveling jacks needs to be touching the ground and
the weight of the vehicle needs to be evenly distributed.
