6 CRANE ASSEMBLY
It is the customers responsibility to ensure that the building structures and
crane mounting points can withstand the forces exerted by the crane. The
WARNING necessary information is provided before the crane order is confirmed. Failure
to fulfill the requirements could cause the crane to collapse, resulting in death
or serious injury.
NOTE: Illustrations used in this manual are only examples and may differ from the actual supplied equipment.
For exact technical design, see supplied drawings.
NOTE: Before starting the actual assembly, gather the crane components and other installation equipment close
to the crane assembly work site. Check that all parts are present and are in good condition.
If the pillar is not sufficiently vertical, the jib arm could move by itself. This may
CAUTION
cause hazardous situations, for example collisions or injuries.
NOTE: In most cases the owner prepares the foundation ready for crane installation. Consequently the installer
will usually find that the first steps in the following procedure have already been completed.
NOTE: The crane base plate and fastening bolts must be accessible at all times.
Before the jib crane can be erected, the template must be correctly installed into the
1 foundation. The template is only used to hold the anchor bolts in the correct position
until the concrete is dry.
Install anchor bolts into the template so that at least 130mm of thread will protrude
above floor level. Fasten with M27 nuts and washers on both sides of the template.
Cover the threads which will be above floor level so that they do not get splashed with
concrete.

Install the power supply cable before pouring the primary foundation.
2 The primary foundation concrete (C25/30 quality) for the template must be at least 1m
deep and finish flush with the floor level.
Verify that the bolts are vertical in the foundation before it is dry.
3
Check that the remaining nuts and washers are level so that the top of the washers is
approximately 50 mm above the primary foundation.
Lay the pillar next to the assembly site. Check that the support plates for the jib arm will

Drill 10mm holes through the existing holes in the support brackets.
17 Push the supplied plugs into the holes.
Decrease the support from the lifting crane slightly, up to a point where the jib arm stays
18 in place and does not start to turn while the rest of the assembly and alignment work is
in progress.
Adjust the jib arm shaft vertical alignment by turning the adjusting screws (1) in the
19 trimmer on the lower support plate.
Check that the jib arm is aligned correctly (that is, that the jib arm is level) when it is
pointing in any direction.
When the alignment is correct, tighten all three screws and check the alignment again.
A correctly aligned jib arm will not have the tendency to turn by itself.
Optionally, and if applicable, you can fit the LoadMate (LM)-rails to the jib arm before
21 attaching the jib arm to the pillar. See section Installing the power supply for more
details.

7 COMMISSIONING
Before taking the crane into use, at least carry out the inspections and adjustments listed in below. In some
cases it is appropriate to carry out a more thorough inspection. The scope of the inspection depends on the
operating range and application.
Check that the connections of electrical devices comply with the wiring diagrams and
1 meet local requirements. In particular, check connections that affect safety and control
of the crane. Check the cable ways for electrical wiring. Make sure that wires do not
snag on structures when operating the crane.
Check that the jib arm moves smoothly and is correctly aligned so that it does not turn
2 by itself. Carefully adjust the screws (1) in the trimmer if necessary.
Check that all parts are properly installed. Check that all nuts and bolts have been
3 tightened up to the right torques.
Check that the pushbutton controller and pendant cable are in good condition. Connect
5 the pendant cable to the crane. Check that the pushbutton controller is at the correct
height.
Press the direction buttons on the pushbutton controller and check that the resultant
motions occur in the correct direction. Be careful because movements could occur in
the wrong direction during the test.
