3.4.1 The locks are automatic and will engage when in operation.
3.4.2 The hydraulic oil should be ISO-32.or 46
3.4.3 Have a certificate electrician establish 240V/50Hz, single phase power supply.
An (RCD) protection will need to be installed by an electrician
3.4.4 Air Evacuation. There may be a little air in the hose or cylinder during installation.
Operatethe hoist up and down ieveral times without load until the air is bled.
3.4.5 Raise the hoist about 600mm high and then lower it. Repeat this process two or three
times, and then top off the hydraulic oil reservoir again, if necessary. This assures that
