WARNING

!

Material handling is inherently dangerous. Any person

who uses or maintains this product must first familiar-

ize himself with this material.

Failure to read and understand this owner’s

manual before using or servicing the lifting jib

constitutes a misuse of the product.

DO NOT leave suspended loads unattended.

Always unload the crane before leaving it.

Do not use to lift, support,

or move people

Always watch the jib and the load carefully when the
jib is in use.

Lower the boom and secure it to the mast

before moving the vehicle to which it is

mounted.

Do not move the vehicle with a load suspended from
the jib.

Keep clear of the

boom while it is loaded or rotated.

Never allow personnel to

climb under or onto any

part of

a suspended load.

Keep hands, fingers, loose clothing, etc., clear of the

winch and cable area. Be careful while rotating a
load.

Do not use the lifting jib if any damage or unusual
noise is observed.

AC-powered winches must only be supplied with a
115V, GFCI-protected, effectively grounded supply
circuit.

Observe all applicable DOT, state, and federal
regulations concerning the installation and use of
vehicle-mounted equipment.

Confirm that all labels are in place (see "Label

placement diagram" on p. 10A-10C) and legible.

DO NOT modify this crane in any way.

Unauthorized modifications automatically void

the limited warranty and might make the crane

unsafe to use.
