LOWERING THE CRANE
1. Raise load high enough to allow for clearance.
2. Grasp the handle firmly with both hands. Securely hold on to the long ram handle so your hands
do not slip and ensure the release valve does not rapidly lower.
3. Carefully open the Release Valve by slowly turning the handle counterclockwise. (Do not allow
bystanders around the crane or under the load when lowering the crane.
4. After removing crane from the load, lower to lowest resting position to reduce exposure to rust
and contamination.
WARNING: USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN LOWERING THE CRANE. THE LONG
RAM HANDLE MAY TURN RAPIDLY. OPENING THE RELEASE VALVE TOO FAST CAN CAUSE
THE CRANE TO LOWER RAPIDLY. FAILURE TO HEAD THESE WARNINGS COULD CAUSE
SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
