Operating Instructions
Read ENTIRE IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION section at beginning of this manual
including all text under subheadings therein before set up or use of this product.
Note: Once Assembly is complete, tighten ALL Bolts before initial operation.
Lifting and Lowering
1.
3/4 Ton Load
Figure I
Locate the hole on the Boom with a weight limit
higher than the weight you will be lifting.
For example: Locate the 1 TON hole on the Boom
for a load that is under one Ton. See Figure 9.
2.
Figure J
Washer
Nut
Bolt
Adjust the Boom Extension
so the hole furthest from the
hook-end aligns with the chosen hole on the
Boom. Secure into place by inserting the Bolt
through all aligned holes and tightening in place
with the Washer and Nut. See Figure 10 above.
WARNING! Do not stand under an object that is
being lifted by the Engine Crane. Be aware of the
possibility of a load slipping off the Hook and Chain. An
item that falls from the Crane can cause serious injury.
3. Move the Crane so that the Hook and Chain
is directly above the item to be lifted.
4. Securely attach the Hook and Chain to the item.
5. To raise the Boom, turn the Jack’s release valve
fully clockwise (right). Insert the Handle into the
Jack and pump (up and down) repeatedly until
the item has been lifted to the desired height.
WARNING! Fully tighten the release valve
or else the Jack may lower or may not
be able to reach the full height.
WARNING! DO NOT MOVE THE CRANE WHEN
UNDER LOAD. The Casters are not designed to
be rolled when the Crane is lifting heavy objects.
6. To lower the Crane, SLOWLY turn the Jack’s
release valve counterclockwise (left).
Folding the Frame
WARNING! Do not fold crane while loaded.
1. Lower Crane all the way.
2. Remove R-Pins from the front Lock Pins. Remove
the front Lock Pins. Leave rear Lock Pins in.
3. Raise Leg until it rests against Handle.
4. Insert a front Lock Pin into the middle hole of
the Base, for each Leg, and reinsert R-Pins.
Bleeding Instructions
IMPORTANT! Before first use, check for proper
hydraulic oil level and thoroughly test the
equipment. If it does not work properly, bleed
excess air from its hydraulic system as follows:
1. Open Release Valve and lower Jack completely.
2. Remove Oil Plug and fill with hydraulic
oil (sold separately) to full level.
3. Apply downward pressure to the Boom and
Pump the Jack Handle quickly several times.
4. Check the Oil Fill Hole and, if necessary,
top off the Oil Fill Hole with hydraulic oil.
5. Replace the Oil Plug and close the Release Valve.
6. Test the equipment several times for proper
operation before attempting to lift a load. If, after
bleeding, the equipment still does not appear to be
working properly, do not use the equipment until it
has been repaired by a qualified service technician.

Maintenance and Servicing
Procedures not specifically explained in this
manual must be performed only by a
qualified technician.
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY
FROM ACCIDENTAL OPERATION:
Do not use damaged equipment. If abnormal
noise or vibration occurs, have the problem
corrected before further use.
Cleaning, Maintenance, and Lubrication
1. Before each use, inspect the general condition
of the Jack. Check for broken, cracked, or bent
parts, loose or missing parts, and any condition that
may affect the proper operation of the product. If a
problem occurs, have the problem corrected before
further use.
Do not use damaged equipment.
2. Before each use, thoroughly test the Jack
for proper operation prior to its actual use. If
the Jack appears not to be working properly,
follow Bleeding instructions on page 9.
3. Change the hydraulic oil at least
once every three years:
a. With the Jack fully lowered, remove the Oil
Filler Plug on the side of the Housing.
b. Tip the Jack to allow the old hydraulic oil
to drain out of the Housing completely,
and dispose of the old hydraulic oil in
accordance with local regulations.
c. With the Jack upright, completely fill the Housing
with a high quality hydraulic oil (not included) until
the oil just begins to run out of the Oil Fill Hole.
d. Open the valve Release Screw and pump
the Handle to bleed air from the system.
e. Reinstall the Oil Filler Plug.
4. Wipe dry with a clean cloth. Then, store the
Jack in a safe, dry location out of reach of
children and other non-authorized people.

Troubleshooting
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY: Use caution when troubleshooting malfunctioning
jack. Stay clear of supported load. Completely resolve all problems before use. If
solutions presented in Troubleshooting guide do not solve the problem, have a qualified technician inspect and
repair jack before use. After jack is repaired: Test it carefully without a load by raising and lowering it fully,
checking for proper operation, BEFORE RETURNING JACK TO OPERATION.
DO NOT USE A DAMAGED OR
MALFUNCTIONING JACK!
