INSTRUCTIONS FOR:
FOLDING CRANE
Models: NC10.V2 & NC20
Thank you for purchasing this product. The crane is designed for removing engines from cars. It may be suitable for other purposes, but you
are warned that these instructions, and particularly the paragraphs referring to safety, must be consulted before considering any alternative use.
1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
3Keep crane, and lifting slings, supports and beams, in good working order and condition. Follow the inspection requirements as described
in Section 5. Take immediate action to repair or replace damaged parts by contacting your supplier. Ensure that all accessory lifting devices
are suitably certified. If crane is damaged, immediately remove from service.
3Ensure that the surface on which the crane is used is level and firm, and capable of supporting the crane and the maximum load.
3Never use crane on tarmacadam or other soft surfaces.
3Ensure that the crane legs and boom extension are locked in position before using the crane.
3Keep children and unauthorised persons away from the work area.
3Keep work area clean and tidy and free from unrelated materials, and ensure that there is adequate lighting.
3Ensure that the load does not exceed the maximum lifting capacity of the crane. Overloading is dangerous. Where appropriate, use only the
lifting points recommended by the manufacturer of the item to be lifted, i.e. vehicle engine.
3Before lifting the load ensure that the crane boom is in the lowest possible position, that there are no obstacles which may snag the load
whilst it is being lifted and that the area above the boom is clear.
3To avoid injury, be fully aware of your own and other persons location in relation to the lifting and lowering of the load.
3Keep a sound footing and balance and wear non-slip shoes.
3Ensure that the centre of gravity always remains inside the crane base.
7DO NOT harness the load at an angle and do not allow the load to swing during lifting.
7DO NOT allow load to drop suddenly. Lower with care and ensure that you are aware of the condition of the surface onto which load is to be lowered.
7DO NOT load beyond rated capacity for each specified boom position as indicated in Section 2. The capacity reduces as boom is extended.
7DO NOT position any part of your body beneath the load and do not climb on the crane.
7DO NOT use the crane to transport the load. The crane is a lifting device only.
7DO NOT pull crane sideways when loaded.
7DO NOT attempt to adjust the safety valve, as this has been set and sealed by the manufacturer.
7DO NOT use this product to perform a task for which it is not designed.
7DO NOT use whilst tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or intoxicating medication.
3When not in use, store the crane, with the boom fully lowered, in a safe, dry, childproof, area.
sDANGER! WHEN FULLY LOWERING THE BOOM TAKE CARE NOT TO TRAP FINGERS BETWEEN RAM BODY AND RAM STOP.
p p
WARNING: Failure to heed safety instructions and warnings may result in damage and/or personal injury, and will invalidate the warranty.

NOTE: It is our policy to continually improve products and as such we reserve the right to alter data, specifications and component parts without prior notice.

NOTE: The crane MUST be maintained in accordance with these instructions.
5.1. Lubrication
5.1.1. Oil all working parts monthly.
5.1.2. The ram is filled with oil and should only require occasional topping up. DO NOT use brake fluid, as this will damage the hydraulic seals,
use only good quality hydraulic jack oil. Proceed as follows:
With the ram fully retracted and vertical, remove the filler plug. Oil level should be up to the filler hole. Add or drain oil as necessary.
5.2. Inspection of crane before use
5.2.1. Before each use of the crane you must make a visual inspection of the crane for leaks, damage, loose or missing parts.
5.2.2. The crane must be inspected immediately if it has been subject to an abnormal load or shock.
It is recommended that such an inspection is made by the suppliers authorised service agent.
5.2.3. The owner and/or operator must be aware that repair of this equipment will require specialised knowledge and facilities.
It is recommended that an annual inspection of the crane is made by the suppliers authorised service agent.
5.3. Storage
Always store the crane with the boom is in the lowest position and the ram closed. Keep the crane clean and dry.
5. MAINTENANCE
The owner and/or operator shall study these product instructions and retain them for future use.
6.1. Understanding Instructions & Warnings
The owner and/or operator shall understand the product operating instructions and warnings before operating the crane. Warning information
must be emphasised and understood. If the operator is not fluent in English, the owner must read the product instructions and warnings to the
operator, in the operators native language, and discuss them, making sure that the operator understands the content.
6.2. Damaged cranes
Any crane which appears to be damaged or badly worn, or which operates abnormally MUST BE REMOVED FROM SERVICE. It is
recommended that necessary repairs be made by the suppliers authorised service agent.
6.3. Decommissioning
Through years of normal wear, the crane will eventually come to the end of its safe serviceable life. If, and when, this happens, ensure that the
hydraulic oil is drained off and disposed of in accordance with local authority regulations.
6.4. Test Certificate
According to requirements of the UK Health and Safety Executive, a test certificate is packed with this crane. The test certificate is valid
for one year from the date of first placing the crane into use. Your insurance company will want to have a copy of the test certificate for their file.
Additional copies of the test certificate can be purchased within one year of the date of supply. If you need a copy please ask your dealer. After
one year your insurance company has the right to request a re-test of the crane. This is a chargeable service and can be obtained
by contacting companies listed under Lifting Gear in Yellow Pages.
6. OWNERS & OPERATORS RESPONSIBILITIES

4. OPERATION
p p
WARNING! Ensure that you read, understand and apply Section 1 Safety Instructions.
4.1. Before first use
4.1.1. Open the return valve by turning anticlockwise and then operate the pump several times. This will purge any air that may have entered
the hydraulic system during transit.
4.1.2. Pull crane boom up slightly, close the return valve firmly, but do not over-tighten, and again pump the handle. The boom will now rise.
Pump the boom all the way up and then lower it by opening the return valve (this will confirm that there is sufficient oil in the ram).
4.2. Use
4.2.1. Pump up the boom to the height at which the load may be secured and adjust the boom extension as necessary.
4.2.2. Connect the crane hook to the load using a suitable certified sling or support beam. Ensure that you are aware of the load weight,
and check that it is within the capacity of the crane at the boom extension you are using. In the case of engines use only lifting points
recommended by the vehicle manufacturer.
4.2.3. Lift only directly above the load. p WARNING! DO NOT LIFT THE LOAD AT AN ANGLE!
4.2.4. To lower load, open the return valve by very carefully turning it anticlockwise. The speed of decent is controlled by how far the valve is opened.
4.2.5. The crane is not a transportation device but may be used to reposition the load ready for working on. To do so, lower the load and boom to
the lowest possible point before attempting to move the crane. DO NOT attempt to move it sideways.
The crane is not designed to sustain the load indefinitely.
When you have positioned the load for working, fully lower the load onto a secure work surface, being fully aware of your location, and
that of others, in relation to the lowering load.
4.2.6. When the load has been secured, remove the lifting harness etc. and place the crane in a safe location with the boom fully lowered.
