WARNING!
Material handling is dangerous. Any person who uses
or maintains this product must be familiar with the
hazards associated with it.
•
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 the jib to lift, support, or move people.
• Always watch the jib and the load carefully when the
jib is in use.
• Unload the jib, lower the boom and secure it to the
mast before moving the vehicle.
• 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.
• Do not use the jib if any damage or unusual noise
is observed.
• AC-powered winches must only be plugged into a
115V, GFCI-protected, grounded supply circuit.
• Confirm that all labels are in place (see "Label
placement diagram" on p. 10A-10C) and legible.
• Apply all relevant DOT, state, and federal
regulations concerning the installation and use of
vehicle-mounted cranes.
• DO NOT modify this jib crane in any way.
Unauthorized modifications automatically void
the limited warranty and might make the crane
unsafe to use.
