LOADING INSTRUCTIONS - WTJ, WTJ-E, VAN-J
All persons involved in the operation of this jib crane must understand and apply the following instructions BEFORE
using it for the first time!
Standard model jibs are designed for mounting on many pickup trucks and trailers. They are designed to load
and unload static, non-hazardous loads from the vehicle to which the jib is mounted.
Always fold down the boom, secure it to the mast, and disconnect the winch from its power supply whenever
the jib is not in use.
LOADING:
The load rating appears on label 287 (see appropriate "Label placement diagram", p. 10A-10C). It indicates the net
capacity of the jib lifting a load with center of gravity located directly below the cable pulley.
Note: The addition of ancillary equipment to the jib must be taken into account when determining the maximum working
load. Reduce the capacity by the combined weight of all ancillary equipment.
