and missing and/or damaged parts. Any crane that appears to be damaged in any way must be
removed from service immediately.
2. BECAUSE OF THE POTENTIAL HAZARDS ASSOCIATED WITH THE MISUSE OF EQUIPMENT
OF THIS TYPE, NO MODIFICATIONS SHALL BE MADE TO THE PRODUCT.
3. Store crane with boom in fully lowered position and hydraulic ram valve closed when not in use to

Read all safety warnings before operation.
WARNING!
Failure to obey these warnings may result in loss of load, damage to engine crane, and/or
engine crane failure resulting in personal injury or property damage.
WARNING!
Do not overload engine crane beyond rated capacity of each specified boom position.
Overloading can cause damage to or failure of the crane.
Always use crane on hard, level surface capable of sustaining the load. Use of crane on other
than hard level surfaces can result in crane instability and possible loss of load.
Boom and load must be in lowest possible position before moving. Move load slowly and
smoothly to avoid uncontrolled swinging and possible loss of load.
Be sure all personnel are clear of the load before lowering.
FRONT LEGS MUST ALWAYS BE LOCKED IN DOWN
POSITION BEFORE APPLYING LOAD AND/OR RAISING BOOM
(See Figure 2, page 5).
BOOM MUST BE IN FULLY LOWERED POSITION BEFORE
RAISING LEGS. LEGS MUST NEVER BE RAISED WHEN
CRANE IS CARRYING LOAD. LEGS MUST BE LOCKED IN
PLACE WHEN RAISED (See Figure 3, page 5).
NEVER WORK UNDER LOAD.

Your Performance Tool Engine Crane was constructed with quality materials and workmanship and
will give you many years of trouble free use when cared for as described in the "Care & Maintenance"
section on page 6. However, as with any mechanical device, periodic adjustments are necessary to
maintain a peak level of performance. Should your crane hydraulic ram be displaying any of the
following symptoms, the simple procedures shown below should correct the problem.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Will not lift load
Will not hold load
Will not lift to full height
Pump feels "spongy" under load
Handle raises under load
Handle lowers under load
Valves may not be
closing completely.
To seat valves:
a.) Close release
valve.
b.) With jack in
fully lowered
position,
manually raise
lifting arm as
high as
possible.
c.) Open release

This folding crane features an easy to use Frame Pin locking system. The rear Frame Pin acts as a
Pivot Pin (See Figure 2) and is a permanent fixture after being installed. The forward Frame Pin acts
as a Lock Pin to safely lock the legs in the Down/Operational position (Figure 2) or to lock the legs in
the Up/Storage position (Figure 3).
