connection flanges into each other and secure with the provided safety pin.
Note: Section 2 must be supported by a suitable support stand or rostrum.
Tip: To avoid the sections jamming or getting stuck make sure that the sections
are joined parallel. Using a small amount of lubricant also helps. We suggest
rubbing the joints with an oiled rag prior to assembly.

following the instructions, please proceed as follows.

17. Hand tighten the rods by turning the turnbuckles until the rods are taut, then secure
the turnbuckles with the locking nut as seen on page 9.
Attention: The rigging system when taut as well as the crane arm, should run in a
straight line and should not bend or dip.
