2. To the grip

Sloppy assembly, disassembly and operating have created and will also create in future dam‑ages and

physical injury, as well as death of involved or even uninvolved persons.

The following operating instructions should explain to the grip how to work with the camera crane and

should also make aware and give advice to take care of possible dangers.

Accidents can only be avoided if the dangers are well known and the common sense is activated.

3. safety instructions

WARNING !

Only competent persons are allowed to work with the PANTHER PIXY Crane system.

PANTHER GmbH offers training work shops which will enable the participants to work with the PANTHER

PIXY Crane system. The participants will receive a certiﬁcate at the end of this seminar. For more informa‑

tion regarding the actual dates or to book, please contact +49 (89) 613 900 01.

Please start working with the crane only after studying the complete instruction manual and understan‑

ding everything.

Security advice, measurement and weight indications, as well as the repair and maintenance instructions

have to be observed carefully.

The crane may not be operated if there is the danger of being struck by lightning. After shooting the

crane has to be dismantled or secured against wind.

Pleaseobserve DIN 15019 part 1/6.1.3. to have enough time to dismantle the crane if a storm comes up.

Do not use the crane in the vicinity of high‑tension lines.

In case the crane is used on elevated areas (e.g. bridges, sky scrapers) it is

recommended to additionally secure the persons on the platform by a security rope

at a second object (e.g. concrete post) in order to lower the risk of falling.

CAUTION !

Using the PIXY Crane System is not allowed if the wind speed exceeds 3.6 km/h.

Please observe DIN 15019 to have enough time to dismantle the crane if a storm

comes up.

Lifting, swivel and operating range of the crane including the complete outrigger must be kept free.

Please look out for possible pinching dangers during assembly and operation.

CAUTION !

The operation across persons is NOT permitted! The safety distance of 0.5 m / 2‘ to all

persons and parts of the surrounding has to be kept free from all sides.

The camera and the remote head have to be secured additionally at the remote head mount of the crane

by means of a safety rope. They can fall off and injure persons.

The crane operator is obliged to make sure that no loose parts are left on the remote head mount.

Manual | English

WARNING !

It is not allowed to use the crane on inclined planes. The crane has to be secured so

that is cannot slip away. The underground has to be hard and inﬂexible. The mini‑

mum carrying capacity of the underground has to be 1200 kg / m².

Please do not exceed the maximum payload of the remote head mount. Please only use the maximum

number of counterweights allowed which ﬁt on the weight rod. Only use original

PANTHER counterweights. (see PANTHER Broadcast catalog page 12)

CAUTION !

The use of additional weights, such as sand bags, is not allowed !

For the payload of the base, tracks or supports the complete crane weight including all accessories and

persons has to be considered.

Support material such as wedges and blocks have to be ﬁxed in a way that they cannot slip away, fall out

or be pushed away.

At the end of the tracks clips or similar safety stops have to be ﬁxed to avoid that the crane could fall

down.

Repairs should only be carried out by the manufacturer or persons, who received a special training. PAN‑

THER GmbH offers service seminars, which can be held according to your desires. Should you be interes‑

ted, please contact +49 (89) 613 900 30 (PANTHER‑Service).

The crane should never be left unattended in assembled state. It has to be secured that persons without

authorization cannot use the crane. If necessary adequate measures against heavy wind or storm have to

be taken.

Before starting operation the crane‘s stability with the maximum tilting moment has to be checked.

When working in the studio or with tracks it has to be observed that no hard or loose parts can get under

the wheels. Also slight unevenness can endanger standing– and driving security.

Only use the PIXY Crane system with the PANTHER PIXY tripod (code no. 138892). Do only use original

PANTHER accessories and spare parts. It is not allowed to drive with the completely mounted PIXY Crane

system using air tires.

4. Advice regarding the payload:

The payload of the remote head mount is the accumulated weight of all devices (such as remote head,

camera, lens, …) mounted at the remote head mount.

The PANTHER PIXY Crane system may only be assembled according to the assembling versions shown in

this operating manual. Other kinds of assembly are not permitted! (see Quick Information)

When turning and rotating the crane outrigger and during curve drives, centrifugal forces can appear

which can endanger the standing stability when added.

For safety reasons it is obligatory that the crane stands/drives on absolutely hard, stable and inﬂexible

ground, which is completely leveled. Please pay attention that no hard or loose objects can get under the

wheels, so that the standing and driving stability of the crane could be endangered. Example: Cable in

the studio. This also applies when working with tracks.

Please check the function, damages and missing parts of the crane every day. Damaged or missing com‑

ponents have to be replaced by new ones immediately.

Mark the operating range (pan and tilt area) of the crane with ﬂags, stickers or similar material. Keep all

persons out of the operating area in order to avoid anybody to be

hurt by the base dolly or the outrigger.

CAUTION !

Mounting and dismounting the camera with or without remote system is only allowed

with the crane operator’s approval. A one‑sided removal of weights of a balanced

crane will cause a sudden rise of the outrigger and may lead to damages of the crane

and possibly severe injuries.

Take care that the outrigger does not touch anything within the rotating area. Check the surrounding of

the crane for possible dangers.

Stop working with the crane immediately, even if only a small part is damaged or not mounted the cor‑

rect way.
