Come-along, manual

Operation:

1. Install the cable loops. The cable loops must be installed around the teletubes of your crane to
provide the necessary upper attachment point for the come-along. Twist the cable loop into an “8” and
fold the top of the 8 over onto the bottom part of the 8 (this will double loop the cable). Then slide the
doubled loop onto the yoke as shown below, and assemble the crane according to the instruction
manual.

2. Attach the come-along. Significant parts of the come-along are identified in FIG. 2A below. As

depicted in FIG. 2B, attach the fixed hook to the cable loop; then attach the cable hook to the cable
hook attachment bolt. Finally, attach the pulley hook to the base of the crane teletube. The pully
hook should attach to the short edge of the teletube, and the come-along should rest on the yoke
in-line with the short side of the teletube.
