Operating hazards
• Use cranes only on a rm level; never use on soft grounds.
• The load to be lifted should never exceed the rated capacity.
• Never operate the hydraulic power unit beyond its maximum stroke indicated on the label.
• The capacity of the crane reduces as the jib extension is prolonged. Do not load the crane beyond the rated capacity for each
specied jib extension position as indicated in the label.
• The load hook is provided with a latching mechanism. Ensure it works properly.
• To lift the load in a well-balanced and stable way make sure the center of gravity remains always inside the crane base.
• Never position any part of your body under the load.
• Do not allow the load to swing or drop violently when moving.
• The crane is not transportation device but in case the load has to be removed, lower the load and jib extension to the lowest
possible point before transporting. The crane is not designed to sustain the load indenitely, so when the operation is nished make
sure the load is fully lowered and supported on a rm surface.
• Make a visual inspection before each use the crane. Any crane which appears to be damaged must be removed from service.
• As an additional safety feature the crane is equipped with a valve to prevent the unit from being overloaded. This unit must not be
tampered with.
• If these basic rules are not followed, injury to the user, the crane or the load being lifted may result.
• FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF LOAD AND / OR PERSONAL INJURY OR DAMAGE TO
PROPERTY.
Workplace hazards
• Slip/Trip/Fall is a major cause of serious injury or death. Cluttered areas and benches invite injuries.
• Repetitive work motions, awkward positions and exposure to vibration can be harmful to hands and arms. If numbness, tingling,
pain or whitening of the skin occurs, stop using tool and consult a physician.
• This tool and its supply unit must not be used in potentially explosive atmospheres

Machine type(s)
• The machinery described is intended for lifting engine. No other use permitted. For professional use only.
• Please read the instructions carefully before starting the machine.
Mounting instruction
For security reasons this procedure must be carried out
by 2 people.
• See figure 01 : Attach the left leg #7 onto the base #44 by inserting the
fixed pin. Put the washer #10 and the screw in the nut #9. Insert the pin #8
through #7 and #44 up to the stop. Turn 180° and lock with O-pin. Same
method for the right leg #47.
• See figure 02 : Use the washer #2 with the tensioned washer #43 and
the bolt #42 to attach column #20 onto the base #44.
• See figure 03 : Use the self-tighten nut #23 and the bolt #22 to attach
of pump #26.
Operation
When lowering or folding the chassis, the wheels must generallbe oriented as shown in fig. A.
IMPORTANT: The air can get into the hydraulic system, causing poor lifting performance. Purge any air from the system by
fully opening release valve (turn handle counterclockwise), then while holding the boom down, operate pump handle rapidly
several times.
1. To raise the Extension Boom, close the Release Valve on the Hydraulic Ram. Then, pump the Handle until the Extension Boom reaches the desired
height.
2. To extend the length of the Extension Boom, remove bolt and nut. Pull out on the Extension Boom until the desired extension hole in the Boom aligns
with the hole in the Extension Boom. Then re-insert the bolt through the holes in the Boom and Extension Boom, and lock the bolt in place with the nut.
3. WARNING! Do not exceed the maximum lifting capacities of this tool. Exceeding the maximum lifting capacities could cause personal injury and/or
property damage. The longer the Extension Boom is extended, the lower is the lifting capacity of this Foldable Shop Crane.
4. Position the Foldable Shop Crane so that the Hook is directly above the object you wish to lift.
5. WARNING! Stay clear of the Foldable Shop Crane. Never go under an object being lifted by the Crane. It is possible for the Hook to slip, causing an object
to fall, possibly resulting in serious injury and/or property damage. Always monitor the object being lifted so it does not rock back and forth.
6. Open the Release Valve slightly to lower the Hook. Attach the Hook to the object you are lifting, and make sure the Safety Latch on the Hook is fully
closed. Then close the Release Valve, and pump the Handle to raise the object. Carefully move the Foldable Shop Crane to the location where you wish to
lower the object, i.e., an engine stand, proper support, floor surface, etc. Then lower the object by opening the Release Valve slightly.
7. Once the object is fully lowered, disconnect the Hook from the object. Then store the Foldable Shop Crane (unfolded or folded) in a clean, dry, safe
location out of reach of children and other unauthorized people.
