3.2 Mounting the Crane
- Select Location: Choose a mounting location on your truck bed or other stable surface that can withstand the crane's weight and maximum load. The surface must be flat and reinforced.
- Position Base: Place the reinforced base of the crane in the desired position.
- Mark Holes: Use the base plate as a template to mark the drilling points for the mounting bolts.
- Drill Holes: Drill appropriate size holes through the mounting surface.
- Secure Base: Fasten the crane base securely using heavy-duty bolts, washers, and nuts (not included, purchase separately based on your mounting surface). Ensure all fasteners are tightened to the manufacturer's specifications.
- Assemble Boom: Attach the boom assembly to the base according to the provided hardware. Ensure all pins and bolts are correctly inserted and secured with cotter pins or locking mechanisms.
3.3 Electrical Connection
The electric winch requires a 12V DC power source. Connect the winch wiring to your vehicle's battery or a dedicated 12V power supply, ensuring correct polarity (red to positive, black to negative). It is recommended to install an inline fuse for circuit protection.
4. Operating Instructions
Familiarize yourself with the crane's controls and capabilities before attempting to lift any loads.

4.1 Wireless Remote Control
The crane is operated using a wireless remote control. Ensure the remote has fresh batteries and is within operational range of the winch receiver.
- Power Switch: Turn on the power switch on the remote.
- IN Button: Press and hold the "IN" button to retract the cable and lift the load.
- OUT Button: Press and hold the "OUT" button to extend the cable and lower the load.
- Safety Warning: Always turn off the power switch on the remote when not in use to prevent accidental operation.

4.2 Adjusting the Telescopic Boom
The boom can be adjusted to different lengths and angles to suit various lifting requirements. This adjustment affects the maximum lifting capacity.
- Extension Points: The boom has multiple extension points (A, B, C) with corresponding maximum load capacities.
- Capacity at Full Extension (A): 1100 lbs (499 kg)
- Capacity at Mid Extension (B): 550 lbs (249 kg)
- Capacity at Shortest Extension (C): 220 lbs (100 kg)
- Adjustment: To adjust, remove the locking pin, extend or retract the boom to the desired position, and re-insert the locking pin securely. Ensure the pin is fully engaged before lifting.

4.3 Lifting Procedures
- Secure Load: Attach the load securely to the hook, ensuring the safety latch is closed. Use appropriate slings or chains for the load.
- Clear Area: Ensure the lifting path is clear of obstructions and personnel.
- Lift Slowly: Use the wireless remote to slowly lift the load. Avoid sudden movements.
- Rotate Crane: The crane can rotate 360 degrees. Use the handle to manually rotate the boom to position the load. Ensure smooth rotation while bearing heavy loads.
- Lower Load: Slowly lower the load to the desired position. Once the load is stable on the ground, release tension and detach the hook.

4.4 Lifting Capacity (Single vs. Double Cable)
The crane supports both single and double cable configurations. The maximum lifting capacity remains 1100 lbs for both, but double cabling can offer increased stability and reduced strain on the winch for certain loads.

5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your VEVOR Truck Crane.
- Cable Inspection: Regularly inspect the steel cable for fraying, kinks, or corrosion. Replace the cable if any damage is observed.
- Hook and Latch: Check the hook and safety latch for deformation, cracks, or wear. Ensure the latch operates freely.
- Mounting Hardware: Periodically check all mounting bolts and pins for tightness. Re-tighten as necessary.
- Lubrication: Apply a suitable lubricant to moving parts, such as the rotation mechanism and boom extension points, to ensure smooth operation and prevent rust.
- Cleaning: Clean the crane regularly to remove dirt, debris, and corrosive materials. The crane features spray paint for rust prevention, but regular cleaning helps maintain this protection.
- Electrical Connections: Inspect electrical wiring for damage or loose connections.
