IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. NOTE THE SAFE OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS, WARNINGS & CAUTIONS.

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 the surface on which the crane is used is level and firm, being capable of sustaining the crane and the maximum load.
7Never use crane on tarmacadam or on soft surfaces.
3Ensure that the crane legs and arms are always locked before use, and jib extension is locked in fixed jib position by means of the lock split pin.
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 load does not exceed the maximum lifting capacity. Overloading the crane 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 jib 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 jib is clear.
7DO NOT apply any sideways pressure to the crane during lifting or suspension of load.
3To avoid injury, be fully aware of your own and other persons locations in relation to the lifting and lowering of the load.
3Keep a sound footing and balance, and ensure that the floor is not slippery. Wear non-slip shoes.
3Ensure the centre of gravity of the load always remains inside the crane base.
7DO NOT attempt to lift the load at an angle, and do not allow the load to swing during lifting.
7DO NOT allow the load to drop suddenly. Lower load with care and ensure that you are fully aware of the condition of the surface onto
which the load is to be lowered.
7DO NOT load beyond rated capacity for each specified jib position as indicated in Section 2. The capacity reduces as the jib 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 move or transport a load around the workshop. The crane is a lifting device only.
7DO NOT attempt to adjust the safety valve, as this has been set and sealed by the manufacturer.
7DO NOT use the crane for a task it is not designed to perform.
7DO NOT use whilst under the influence of drugs, alcohol or intoxicating medication or when tired.
3When not in use, store the crane in a safe, dry, childproof, area.

Your crane is delivered assembled but in a folded condition. Before using it is necessary to lay the folded crane on its back on the floor
and proceed as follows.
3.1. Lower the crane legs. Lock them in place with the pins and split pins.
3.2. Rotate the assembled crane onto its wheels.
3.3. Open the valve at top of ram by turning to left and pump 10-20 times. This will purge any air that may have entered during transit.
3.4. Pull crane jib up slightly, close valve and pump the handle. The jib will now rise. Pump the jib all the way up once and lower it again (this
will check the oil level).
3.5. Crane is now ready. Ensure that it is complete and not damaged. If you experience any problems contact your supplier immediately.

4. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
p p
WARNING! Ensure that you read, understand and apply Section 1 safety instructions, and that parts 3.3 and 3.4 have been
successfully performed before using the crane.
4.1. Pump the handle to raise the jib to the appropriate height at which the load may be secured.
4.2. Select the required jib extension by removing the jib locking pin, extending as desired (up to a maximum of 1.3mtr) and replace the pin.
Note: Ensure the jib locking pin is replaced correctly i.e. completely through the jib and jib extension where the holes align,
thereby locking the extension safely in place.
4.3. 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 jib extension you are using. When removing engines ensure that you know
the engine weight. Use only lifting points recommended by the vehicle manufacturer.
4.4. Lift only from directly above the load. p WARNING! DO NOT LIFT THE LOAD AT AN ANGLE!

4.5. To lower load, put your hand on the release valve and turn it slowly anti-clockwise. This crane is fitted with a dead man control which
stops the descent when your hand leaves the release knob.
4.6. 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 jib
to the lowest possible point before attempting to move. Do not attempt to move in a sideways direction.
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 and appropriate working base, being aware of your
own and other persons locations in relation to the lowering load.
4.7. When the load has been successfully lowered and secured, remove the lifting harnesses etc., and place the crane in a safe location
having ensured the lifting beam and piston are fully retracted.

5.1. Always keep the crane clean and dry.
5.2. Lubrication
5.2.1. Oil all working parts monthly.

b) Fully lower the jib extension arm.
c) Remove filler plug (hexagonal bolt positioned near the top of the ram) and fill to the bottom of hole. Replace filler plug.
