Safety Warnings and Precautions
WARNING: When using tool, basic safety precautions should always be followed to
reduce the risk of personal injury and damage to equipment.
Read all instructions before using this tool!
1. Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas invite injuries.
2. Observe work area conditions. Do not use machines in damp or wet locations.
Don’t expose to rain. Keep work area well lit.
3. Keep children away. Children must never be allowed in the work area. Do not let
them handle, or play on or around the Shop Crane.
4. Store idle equipment. When not in use, tools must be stored in a dry location to
inhibit rust. Always lock up tools and keep out of reach of children.
5. Use the right tool for the job. Do not attempt to force a small tool or attachment to
do the work of a larger industrial tool. There are certain applications for which this
tool was designed. It will do the job better and more safely at the rate for which it was
intended. Do not modify this tool and do not use this tool for a purpose for which it
was not intended.
6. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry as they can be caught in
moving parts. Protective, electrically nonconductive clothes and nonskid footwear are
recommended when working. Wear restrictive hair covering to contain long hair. Wear
heavy work gloves when working.
7. Use eye protection. Always wear ANSI-approved impact safety goggles.
8. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

9. Maintain tools with care. Keep tools clean for better and safer performance. Follow
instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
10. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, use common sense. Do not operate any tool
when you are tired.
11. Check for damaged parts. Before using any tool, any part that appears damaged
should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its
intended function. Check for alignment and binding of moving parts; any broken parts
or mounting fixtures; and any other condition that may affect proper operation. Any
part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by a qualified technician.
12. Replacement parts and accessories. When servicing, use only identical
replacement parts. Use of any other parts will void the warranty. Only use accessories
intended for use with this tool. Approved accessories are available from Harbor Freight
Tools.
13. Do not operate tool if under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Read warning
labels if taking prescription medicine to determine if your judgment or reflexes are
impaired while taking drugs. If there is any doubt, do not operate the tool.
14. Never exceed the maximum lifting capacity of 2 Tons (4,000 pounds).
NEVER EXCEED THE CAPACITY FOR INDIVIDUAL STAGE SETTINGS.
Beware of Dynamic Loading!
Swinging or allowing a load to suddenly jerk on the chain of the Shop Crane may
create, for a brief instant, an excess load, which may result in damage to the product,
damage to the load, SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY, and/or DEATH.
15. Maintenance. For your safety, service and maintenance should be performed
regularly by a qualified technician.
16. Not to be used for aircraft purposes.
17. Do not attempt to move the Crane when under load. The Swivel Casters are not
designed to be rolled when the Crane is lifting a weight.
Warning: The warnings, cautions, and instructions discussed in this instruction manual
cannot cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be under-
stood by the operator that common sense and caution are factors which cannot be built
into this product, but must be supplied by the operator.

Assembly
For safety and ease of assembly, use two people to assemble the Shop Crane.
1. Slide the Header (3) into the two Legs (1) as shown in FIGURE 1.
2. Using two Bolts (17), two Washers (18), and two Nuts (19), assemble the two Legs (1)
and Strut (2) as shown in FIGURE 1.

Using four Bolts (14), four Washers (15), and four Nuts (16) per Caster (4), assemble
the Casters (4) to the two Short Extensions (5) and two Long Extensions (6) as shown
in FIGURE 2.
Warning! The Header (3) is not permanently attached to the Legs (1) at this time. Be
careful when moving the Legs (1) or Header (3) until they are permanently attached.
WARNING! When attaching the Short Extensions (5), they must be inserted a minimum
of 4 inches. When attaching the Long Extensions (6), they must be inserted a minimum
of 6 inches. There is a line drawn on each Extension at the minimum length. This line
should always be inside the tubing of the Header (3) and the Legs (1). VERIFY THAT
THE PROPER EXTENSION GOES IN THE CORRECT PLACE; IMPROPER PLACEMENT
WILL CREATE A HAZARDOUS SITUATION.

9. Using one Bolt (26), a Washer (18), and a Nut (19), secure the base of the Jack (10)
to the Post (7). See the Assembly Drawing on page 10, and FIGURE 4 above.
10. Turn the Jack’s (10) Release Valve (4a) fully clockwise and insert the Handle (13) into
the Jack (10), and raise (extend) the Jack about 1 inch from the closed position. Refer
to the Jack Assembly Drawing on page 8 and FIGURE 6 on page 7.
11. Using one Bolt (26), one Washer (18), and one Nut (19), secure the Jack (10) to the
Boom (9). See the Assembly Drawing on page 10, and FIGURE 4 above.

Operation
1.
Warning!!
Before attempting to lift a load, make sure all four Extensions are extended until the
white line on each one is barely hidden. Tighten the Set Bolts (34) for each Exten-
sion securely, and make sure that it cannot slide in or out.
Adjust the Boom Extension (11) to a maximum weight position that exceeds the weight
you will be lifting. Securely tighten Bolt (33) and Nut (22). See FIGURE 6 on page 7.
2. Move the Crane so that the Hook & Chain (12) is directly above the item to be lifted.
Block the Swivel Casters to prevent inadvertent movement of the Shop Crane.
3. Using the Hook & Chain (12), securely fasten the item to the Crane. See FIGURE 6
on page 7.
4. To raise the Boom (9), turn the Jack’s (10) Release Valve (4a) fully clockwise and insert
the Handle (13) into the Jack (10), and pump the Handle (13) until the Jack (10) raises
to the desired height. See the Jack Assembly Drawing on page 8 and FIGURE 6 on
page 7.
5.
Warning!!
Never stand under an object being lifted by the Shop Crane. Be aware of the possibil-
ity of the load slipping off of the Hook and Chain (12) and causing serious injury.
To lower the Crane, first make sure no people or tools are under the load/equipment,
then SLOWLY turn the Jack’s Release Valve (4a) counterclockwise.
6. If desired, after the load is removed, the extensions may be shortened to allow the
unit to be stored in a smaller area. The shorter leg positions are for storage only; be
certain to properly extend and secure all extensions before every use.
13. Using one Bolt (27), two Washers (28), and one Nut (29), attach the Hook & Chain (12)
to the Boom (9) as shown in FIGURE 5 below.
