Maintaining the Adjustable Column
The GF-16 Crane has an adjustable column which provides a vertical lift of 400mm. This
lift is achieved through an elevating gear which should be inspected at regular yearly
intervals.
In general, maintenance work should only be carried out by competent personnel,
observing at all times the safety regulations and recognized safety guidelines. After using
the column we recommend cleaning it with WD40.
Dismantling the column:
The column should be dismantled as per the following steps:
1.
Remove the adjustable stabilizing rods and in turn remove the column (see page 4).
2.
Remove the rotateable bearing by opening the bolts.
3.
Extend the column until the STOP mark is visible. Using extreme caution, lay the
column on its side (attention, danger of damaging the column).
4.
Dismantling the drive shaft.
5.
Remove the plastic cover which protects the friction and release the friction.
6.
Remove the 8 bolts at the bottom of the ground plate.
7.
Remove the spindle unit through the bottom of the column (extreme care should be
taken to not damage the spindle).
