For safety and ease of assembly, use two people to assemble the Shop Crane.
WARNING!
To ensure safe operation, it is ESSENTIAL that the correct bolts are

potentially causing SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY or DEATH.
Carefully compare the bolts to the
Bolt Grade Identification
illustrations and
the measurements shown in the parts list on page 9, and the hardware diagrams
on the page 10 to make sure that the correct bolts are used in the correct place.
If any doubts arise regarding proper assembly, contact Harbor Freight Tools at
the number at the bottom of this page BEFORE use.
Step 1: Using four RING PINS (12), assemble the LEGS (6) to the BASE ASSEMBLY (1) - see
Figure 1.
Note: To insert the front RING
PINS, lift up on the front
of the BASE ASSEMBLY
until the holes line up.
After all four RING PINS
are inserted, insert one
HAIRPIN (13) though the
small hole at the end of
each of the RING PINS
until it snaps into place.
Make sure that all RING
PINS are secure before
proceeding.
