Notice:
When operating the crane with the push bar mounted on the dolly, pay attention that the
crane arm at no time collides with the push bar.
Always use the levelling legs to level the crane when on uneven surfaces.
Attention: For safety reasons only original accessories
manufactured by GFM may be used with the crane.
Use with GFM Track (GF-Track)
The maximum payload on standard GF-Track: m
zul

o authorized GFM Cranes:
GF-9, GF-6, GF-8 Standard and GF-8 Xten with 4 x 2 (double) GF-Track Wheels.
Track width = 620mm / 24,5 inches
There are a number of ways to mount the GF-8 on track:
o The crane can be assembled on track
o By using the 4 levelling legs, the assembled and balanced crane can be cranked
upwards to allow the track to be placed under the base and already mounted track
wheels. The base can then be carefully lowered by cranking the 4 levelling legs
simultaneously downwards.
Attention: Increased caution while laying the tracks and lowering
the crane on tracks. Ensure that the track wheels are
parallel to the track.
o The assembled and balanced crane can be rolled onto the track by using the GFM
Starter Ramp.
Attention: To do so remove the levelling legs and ensure that the
track wheels are aligned with the track.
Moving the crane onto the track should be carried out by
at least 3 operators. It is essential to make sure that the
track underlay cannot move or shift.
Use on curved tracks:
Attention: Extreme caution if tracking on curved track (not faster
than a slow walking pace).
