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
central 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,
otherwise it may cause serious damage to equipment.
FOLLOWING THESE GUIDELINES WILL PROVIDE BETTER SHOTS AND TROUBLE FREE OPERATION.
