When assembling Legs (6), adjustments to
Leg Extenders (23) and Link Bars (7) are
needed to assure that the straight tube sec-
tion of the Base Assembly is the same height
as the vehicle’s receiver hitch.
Attach upper end of each Leg to the Base
Assembly (4) using Snapper Pin (22).
The Link Bar (7) connects middle portion of
each Leg to the Base Assembly. Note the
different hole attachment positions (this will
affect the height of the straight tube section
of the Base Assembly).
Use Snapper Pins (22) to secure the Link
Bars (7) in place. Compare the height of
straight tube section of Base Assembly to
height of vehicle’s receiver hitch; they should
be the same height.
Additional height adjustments can be made
to the Leg Extenders (23) by re-positioning
the Bolt (27) and Lock Nut (28) to different
hole positions. Make adjustments as
needed, and secure the Link Bars (7) in
place with the Snapper Pins (22).
6. With Leg assembly now complete, slide
the end of straight tube section of Base As-
sembly into the T-Shaped Connector (5).
Lock these components together by tighten-
ing two Bolts (31).
7. Test the stability of the bottom half of the
Crane. Make sure Foot Plates (24) are at
on the ground. Make sure that the T-Shaped
Connector (5) is solidly connecting the
Crane to the vehicle’s receiver hitch. The
straight tube section of the Base Assembly
(4) should be parallel to the ground. Make
sure all hardware and clips are tightly se-
cured in place.
