ASSEMBLY

For safety and ease of assembly, use two people to assemble the Shop Crane.

WARNING!

To ensure safe operation, it is ESSENTIAL that the correct bolts are used during assembly. If an improper bolt is used, this unit could fail, potentially causing SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY or DEATH.

Carefully compare the bolts to the Bolt Grade Identification illustrations and the measurements shown in the parts list on page 9, and the hardware diagrams on the page 10 to make sure that the correct bolts are used in the correct place.

If any doubts arise regarding proper assembly, contact Harbor Freight Tools at the number at the bottom of this page BEFORE use.

Step 1: Using four RING PINS (12), assemble the LEGS (6) to the BASE ASSEMBLY (1) - see

Figure 1.

Note: To insert the front RING

PINS, lift up on the front of the BASE ASSEMBLY until the holes line up.

After all four RING PINS are inserted, insert one

HAIRPIN (13) though the small hole at the end of each of the RING PINS until it snaps into place.

Make sure that all RING

PINS are secure before proceeding.

OPERATION

Note: Not to be used for aircraft purposes.

Step 1: Adjust the BOOM EXTENSION (10) to a weight limit position (See Figure 8) that exceeds the weight you will be lifting. Securely tighten the BOLT (16), WASHER (24) and NUT (28).

WARNING:

Never stand under an object that is being lifted by the Shop Crane. Be aware of the possibility of a load slipping off the HOOK & CHAIN (11).

An item that falls from the Crane can cause serious injury.

Figure 8 — Adjusting Boom Extension

CAUTION:

DO NOT MOVE THE CRANE WHEN UNDER LOAD. The Casters are not designed to be rolled when the Crane is lifting heavy objects.

Step 2: Move the Crane so that the HOOK & CHAIN (11) is directly above the item to be lifted.

Step 3: Securely attach the HOOK & CHAIN to the item.

Step 4: To raise the BOOM (9), turn the JACK’s (2) release valve fully clockwise (right). Insert the HANDLE (3) into the JACK and pump (up and down) repeatedly until the item has been lifted to the desired height.

Step 5: To lower the Crane, SLOWLY turn the JACK’s release valve counterclockwise (left).
