Safety Hints of Jib Crane
ATTENTION: PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE USING TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO
EQUIPMENT & OPERATOR!
• The crane may not be assembled or operated under inuence of alcohol, drugs or any other
intoxicang substances. Lack of aenon while connecng the components together can
cause substanal damage to equipment/operator.
• The crane may only be operated on 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. 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 crane in any way.
• Aer setup of the crane, the pan-lt head / gimbal head shall be posioned under the cen-
tral pivot secon. In assembled state, when the pan-lt head / gimbal head is higher than
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, other-
wise it may cause serious damage to equipment.
FOLLOWING THESE GUIDELINES WILL PROVIDE BETTER SHOTS AND TROUBLE FREE OPERATION.
SHOULD YOU NEED ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE IS AVAILABLE ‘ONLINE’
BY CONTACTING THE SALES REPRESENTATIVE.

CAUTION: The power specicaon we have
provided is as per 12volt. For this, we provide
a 12volt/3ampere regulated power adapter.
In case you use a voltage higher than 12V, it
will aect the performance and life of the
motor, and there is a high risk of the motor
geng damaged.
Balancing Points
• Find the horizontal balance point of your camera by using 2 ngers of one hand while holding handle.
• Mark this point on the side of the camera with chalk or tape.
• Turn the unit on and move the lt control unl the camera plate is vercal.
• Loosen the two screws holding lt motor.
• Grasp the motor and turn slightly to disengage gears.
• Mount the camera to the camera plate with the screw provided.
• Tighten by threading the nut up to the boom of the camera plate securely.
• Make sure your balance point previously marked with chalk or tape is in the middle of the plate.
• Loosen the knob below the camera plate and slide the camera and plate up or down unl the centre line
of your camera is about in the middle of the large gear. Now ghten knob.
• If the camera is perfectly balanced it will stay in any posion while motor gear is sll unaached.
• Grasp the motor and turn it back unl the gears mesh.
• Gently ghten motor screws.
• Secure the camera.
NOTE: All reducon boxes have a small amount of backlash. The balancing of the camera will reduce the
backlash to a minimum making it felt at the top of the lt.
