Step 2: Installation of Railing side panels

Connect the railing side panels to the main unit

using M10x30 Bolt & Nut (18 bolt & nut sets
required).

Step 3: Installation of Adjustable props

Connect the railing side panels to the main

unit using M16x50 Bolt & Nut (8 bolt & nut sets
required).

Whilst still connected to the crane tighten the
adjustable props against the concrete slab on
top. Once all 4 adjustable props are fully tight-
ened against the concrete slab the crane may be
released from the platform.

For repositioning from one floor to another one

the same procedure must be followed. First con-
nect the crane, untighten the adjustable props,
repositioning to the new concrete slab, tighten
the adjustable props against the concrete slab
and only once all adjustable props are tightened
the crane may be released.
