Operation

WARNING! Never lift loads that exceed 500kg in single pulley configuration or 800kg in

double pulley configuration.

•

Always keep pulleys well-greased.

•

Lubricate the cable if the crane is being used for the first time.

NOTE: The cable should not be extended beyond the red warning line.

•

The overload protector is used to protect the crane and winch. It will short-circuit if the crane is

over-loaded or becomes too hot for safe use. Generally, the overload protector will restart after 30

seconds.

•

Do not rotate the boom during lifting; it can result in serious injury to the operator or bystanders.

•

Position the boom extension and secondary pulley (where required) according to the weight of the

lifting items.

•

Double pulley configuration allows greater weights to be lifted by effectively gearing down the

winch. In other words the lift distance per rotation of the winch motor is reduced.

•

Attach loads securely with chains, shackles, hooks, lifting slings etc

with a rated capacity greater

than the load being lifted.

Using the Crane

Refer to Figure 1.

1. Set the boom extension to the required position – remove the lock pin and extend/retract the boom

extension to the required position. Reinsert the locking pin and secure it with its hinged clip

fastener.

2. Set the angle of the boom, if required. To change the angle, hold the boom and remove the clevis

pin from boom tube hole B, set the boom angle and then reinsert the clevis pin and secure it with its

R-pin.

3. Loosen the boom tube locking clamp C and rotate the boom so that it is centered over the load,

then tighten the clamp.

4. Unlock the winch by pulling out and twisting winch rewinder release knob and manually extend the

cable so it reaches the load. Push the winch rewinder knob in to engage the winch mechanism.

5. Secure the load to the hook.

6. Use the control box to activate the winch and raise the load as required. Do not lift it more than

necessary. If required, loosen the tube locking clamp and rotate the boom using the boom rotation

handle, then tighten the clamp.

7. Use the control box to activate the winch and lower the load. Once the load is lowered and is no

longer being held by the crane, unshackle the crane from the load.

8. When finished using the crane, place it in the stowed position:

a. Retract the boom extension to the maximum weight position and secure it with its locking pin.

b. Remove the clevis pin from boom tube hole B and gently lower the boom so it is “hanging”.

Place the clevis pin in hole B and secure it with its R-pin to prevent losing it.

c. Attach the winch cable hook to the hole at the bottom of the base post, then retract the winch

just enough hold the boom in position – do not place undue stress on the crane or winch.

Pulley Configuration

WARNING! Never lift loads that exceed 500kg in single pulley configuration or 800kg in

double pulley configuration.

The crane provides two pulley configurations as shown in Figure 4. The double pulley configuration

allows greater weights to be lifted by effectively gearing down the winch. In other words the lift distance

per rotation of the winch motor is reduced.

Figure 4

Refer to Figure 4. To set-up the double pulley:

1. Extend the winch cable approximately 500mm, then attach the

main hook to the pin at the bottom of the boom extension to form a

loop.

2. Disassemble the hook from the secondary pulley by removing the

R-pin, then pulling out the clevis pin from the outer plates. The

clevis pin has an outer tube that will also come loose with the

hook.

3. Place the secondary pulley over the bottom of the loop in the

winch cable, so the outer plates of the secondary pulley are

hanging down.

4. Reattach the hook to the secondary pulley by placing the outer

tube into the end of the hook and placing it between the secondary

pulley outer plates. Pass the clevis pin from the outer plate

through the tube and hook and other outer plate. Secure the clevis

pin with its R-pin.

Maintenance

WARNING! Procedures not specifically explained in this manual must be performed by

qualified technicians only.

Inspection, Lubrication and Cleaning

NOTE: If the crane will be exposed to wet conditions or corrosive environments, more frequent

maintenance may be necessary to prevent corrosion.

•

Before each use, inspect the general condition of the machine. Check for:

• Loose hardware.

• Misalignment or binding of moving parts.

• Cracked or broken parts.

• Proper winch operation.

• Frayed, kinked or damaged winch cable, and any other condition that may affect safe operation.

•

Lubricate the boom tube monthly or when the boom becomes difficult to swivel on the base post.

Lubricate by injecting grease into the boom tube grease nipple.

•

Clean and lubricate all moving parts of winch, including gears, ratchets, shafts and winch cable to

ensure smooth and safe operation.

•

The boom assembly (boom tube, boom, boom extension and winch) may be removed and stored

indoors in a dry place, out of the reach of children.
