instructions, and properly maintained, give you years of trouble free performance.
IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. NOTE THE SAFE OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS, WARNINGS & CAUTIONS. USE
THE PRODUCT CORRECTLY AND WITH CARE FOR THE PURPOSE FOR WHICH IT IS INTENDED. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY CAUSE DAMAGE AND/OR
PERSONAL INJURY AND WILL INVALIDATE THE WARRANTY. KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS SAFE FOR FUTURE USE.
1. SAFETY
9Keep crane, lifting slings, support and beams in good working order and condition. Take immediate action to repair or replace damaged
parts by contacting your supplier. Ensure that all accessory lifting devices are suitably certified.
WARNING! If crane is damaged, remove from service immediately.
9Ensure the surface on which the crane is used is level, firm and capable of supporting the weight of the crane with maximum
load - we recommend concrete. Never use the crane on tarmacadam or other soft surfaces.
9Ensure the crane legs and arms are locked in position before use.
9Keep children and unauthorised persons away from the working area.
9Keep working area clean and tidy, free from unrelated materials and ensure that there is adequate lighting.
9Ensure that load does not exceed the maximum lifting capacity of the crane. Overloading the crane is dangerous. Where appropriate, use
only the lifting points recommended by the manufacturer of the item to be lifted, e.g. vehicle engine.
9Before lifting the load ensure that the crane jib is in the lowest practical 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.
9To avoid injury, be fully aware of your own and other persons locations in relation to the lifting and lowering, of the load.
9Keep a sound footing and balance, and ensure the floor is not slippery.
9Ensure jib extension is locked in position before lifting.
9Ensure the centre of gravity always remains inside the crane base.
8DO NOT harness the load at an angle or use any attachments not verified as fit for purpose.
8DO NOT allow the load to swing during lifting.
8DO NOT allow the load to drop suddenly. Lower load with care, ensuring that you are fully aware of the condition of the surface onto
which the load is to be placed.
8DO NOT load crane beyond its rated capacity for each specified jib extension position as indicated on the adhesive label. The capacity of
the crane reduces as the jib is extended.
8DO NOT position any part of your body beneath the load.
8DO NOT use the crane to move or transport a load other than for repositioning. The crane is a lifting device only.
8DO NOT apply any sideways pressure to any part of the crane during lifting or when a load is suspended.
8DO NOT attempt to adjust the safety valve, which has been set and sealed by the manufacturer.
8DO NOT use this product to perform a task for which it is not designed.
8DO NOT use whilst under the influence of drugs, alcohol or intoxicating medication.
8DO NOT climb on the crane.
9When not in use fold the crane down and store in a safe, dry, childproof area.
9This crane is designed for lifting within a garage or workshop environment.
WARNING! Failure to heed safety and warning instructions may result in damage and/or personal injury and will invalidate the warranty.

4. OPERATION
4.1. It is essential to carry out the following assembly processes with the help of other people.
4.2. Open the box and assemble the wheel brackets on the column (g.2 / g.3)
4.3. Lift the crane and attach the hydraulic unit to the arm using the pin & circlips. (g.4).
To assemble the legs, place the crane on the ground and introduce the rivet (9) and the screw
in the position indicated (g.5).
4.4. Attach the auxiliary wheel bracket with the pin and circlip (g.6).
4.5. Prior to using the crane, the hydraulic circuit needs to be bled in order to eliminate any
air from the system. Turn the hydraulic release knob (19) 90º while pumping the lever (5)
several times. Return the knob (19) to its original position,the crane is now ready for use.
Turn the hydraulic unit to work in the most comfortable position.
4.6. To lift the load, pump lever (5). If lifting an engine, secure it at the points recommended
by the manufacturer.
4.7. To lower the load, turn the knob (5). This system enables the lowering to be regulated and
controlled manually and precisely. As another safety element, the crane is tted with an LCS
system to avoid jerky lowering, resulting from a possible incorrect manoeuvre. The crane will
stop the lowering process when the knob is not activated.
4.8. When the crane is not in use the slide should be moved to its minimum length,and the piston
of the hydraulic unit should be fully retracted.

5. MAINTENANCE
5.1. The maintenance and repair of this crane may only be carried out by qualied and
authorized personnel, who as a result of their training and experience are familiar with the
hydraulic systems used in these devices.
5.2. Clean and lubricate the axes of the moving parts of the crane at regular intervals. The crane
should be kept clean and protected from aggressive conditions at all times.
5.3. Only original spare parts should be used.
5.4. Withdraw the crane from service if it is suspected that it has been subjected to abnormal
loads or has suffered any type of knock until the unit has been inspected and any problem
has been resolved.
5.5. If the oil level needs to be checked or relled, dismantle the hydraulic unit and with piston fully
retracted, remove the ller plug and drain its contents into a container. With the hydraulic unit
in a horizontal position, proceed to introduce the necessary volume for each model as indicated.
Avoid dirt entering the system with the new oil.
An excess of oil over the volume required may affect the operation of the crane.
5.6. Only use hydraulic oil, HL or HM type, with an ISO grade of cinematic viscosity of 30cST at 40º,
or of an Engler viscosity of 3 at 50ºC. Never use brake uid.
5.7. When the crane is not in use, it should be fully retracted in the lowest position so as to
minimize piston corrosion. It is recommended to apply an anti-corrosion product to the main
piston and to the pump.
5.8. Store the crane in a dry and clean place, out of the reach of children.
