Safety Hints
ATTENTION: PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE USING TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT
& OPERATOR!
 The crane may not be assembled or operated under the inuence of alcohol, drugs or any other
intoxicang substances. Lack of aenon while connecng the components can cause substanal
damage to the equipment/operator.
 The crane may only be operated in levelled horizontal posion. Make sure that the surface is stable.
 To prevent any harm or injury, properly join all secons of the crane. In addion, it is suggested to use
the support stand while telescoping the complete length.
 Always connect the steel cables properly to provide stability to the system. They should not negavely
impact the movements of the crane in any way.
 Aer the crane setup, the pan-lt head/gimbal head shall be posioned under the central pivot secon.
In the assembled state, when the pan-lt head/gimbal head is higher than the central pivot secon,
there should be someone to look aer the crane system.
 The complete panning & liing range around it must be kept free. Avoid anybody standing under the
crane. No loose objects may be stored or placed on it. Be very careful while using indoors.
 Never operate the crane in the immediate vicinity of high-voltage power cables. It holds danger to life.
 Parcular care is required when operang the crane in unfavourable weather condions. The crane
must be shut down in sucient me. When it is used in a rainy day, the pan-lt head / gimbal head and
controlling bar shall be protected against rain.
 When you want to transport the crane, lock the Pan & Tilt Axis for safety. Make sure that the
components do not rub together and cause any material wear.
 Before the counterweights are removed, ensure the remote head is resng on the support stand. Then
gradually remove the counterweights before remote head, camera or other parts.
 In the interest of safe crane operaon, avoid abruptly swivelling or stopping the crane, otherwise it may
cause serious damage to equipment.
FOLLOWING THESE GUIDELINES WILL PROVIDE BETTER SHOTS AND TROUBLE FREE OPERATION.
