Signal Words:
This manual uses SIGNAL WORDS to indicate the likelihood of personal injuries, as well as the probable
seriousness of those injuries, if the product is misused in the ways described. Other signal words call attention to
uses of the product likely cause property damage. The signal words used in this manual appear below along with
their definitions.
Identifies a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, WILL result in DEATH or SERIOUS
INJURY. Use of this signal word is limited to the most extreme situations.
Identifies a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, COULD result in DEATH or SERIOUS
INJURY.
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, COULD result in MINOR or MODERATE
injury.
Identifies practices likely to result in product/property damage, such as operation that might
damage the product.
Safe use recommendations:
We strive to identify hazards associated with the use of our products. However, material handling is inherently
dangerous and no manual can address every risk. The end-user ultimately is responsible for exercising sound
judgment at all times during use of this product.
Material handling is dangerous. Improper or careless operation might result in serious personal
injuries sustained by the operator and bystanders. Always apply material handling techniques, including rigging
methods, learned during training and use the product properly:
Failure to read and understand the entire manual before assembling, using, or servicing the product constitutes
misuse. Read the manual to refresh your understanding of proper use and maintenance procedures as necessary.
DO NOT attempt to lift items that weigh more than the capacity of your crane. Capacity decreases as boom length
increases. Capacities of both models appear in FIGS. 1B & 2B on pp. 4 and 6.
DO NOT stand or sit on either the crane or the load. Avoid contact with the casters.
Stand clear of the load while raising and lowering it.
ONLY use the crane on even, level, improved surfaces (concrete or asphalt) capable of supporting the combined
weight of the crane and a full capacity load. DO NOT attempt to move the crane up or down sloped surfaces.
DO NOT perform maintenance on this crane UNLESS it is unloaded and the casters are chocked to prevent
movement. If the crane requires repair, ONLY install manufacturer-approved replacement parts.
DO NOT begin to raise a load until the load hook is centered above it.
ALWAYS observe the boom while raising and lowering a load. It should rise smoothly. Watch for binding or jerky
movement and listen for unusual noises.
DO NOT use the crane unless it is in normal operating condition. Inspect the unit before each use following the
inspection instructions on p. 9-10 to determine whether it is functioning normally.
Always watch the load carefully while raising and lowering the boom.
DO NOT continue to move the pump handle back-and-forth if the boom is fully elevated (does not continue to rise).
Always lower and disconnect the load before leaving the crane unattended.
Relieve hydraulic pressure by turning the release lever counterclockwise until the boom begins to descend. Lower
the boom completely; then close the release valve.
DO NOT alter the pressure relief valve setting!
DO NOT use the crane UNLESS it is labeled as shown in “Labeling diagram” on p. 10.
DO NOT modify this crane in any way. Modifications automatically void the limited warranty and might make the
crane unsafe to use.
Always make sure that the shackle pin (see item 35 on p. 3; item 34 on p. 5) is secure before applying a load to the
stationary hook. Tighten the screw pin before each use.
Proper maintenance is essential for this product to function properly.
Follow the inspection and maintenance procedures provided on pp. 9-10. If repairs are necessary, only install
manufacturer-approved replacement parts.
Periodically lubricate pivot points.
Keep the crane clean & dry.

FIG 1B: P-JIB-2 specifications
The inner boom has 4 pin holes spaced 7 inches apart to allow boom length to be adjusted. Boom length
determines the maximum rated load of the crane, which decreases as boom length increases as indicated in the
table below.
