MODEL NO: PH5
Thank you for purchasing a Sealey product. Manufactured to a high standard, this product will, if used according to these
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. Follow the inspection requirements as described
in Section 6 Maintenance. 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, 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.
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 locking bolt and nut are in position before lifting.
9Ensure the centre of gravity always remains inside the crane base and is as close as possible to the vertical portion of the lifting
member as possible.
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 in Section 3. 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 attempt to modify or alter this unit.
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.

5. OPERATION
5.1. OPERATION. (Refer to Section 6.2 (a) regarding inspection before each and every use).
a) Ensure the relief valve is in the closed position (fig.1).
b) Place handle into pump socket and pump, the jib will raise. Continue to pump until the jib reaches the height at which the load can be secured.
c) Connect the crane hook to the load using a suitable certified sling or support beam. Ensure 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) and the sling or support beam. When removing
engines ensure you know the weight to be lifted. Use only the lifting points recommended by the vehicle manufacturer.
d) Lift only from directly above the load. WARNING! DO NOT LIFT THE LOAD AT AN ANGLE!
e) To lower load, turn relief valve VERY SLOWLY anti-clockwise avoiding any sudden movement.
WARNING! DO NOT allow the load to drop suddenly.
f) The crane is not a transportation device but may be used to reposition the load being worked on. To do so, lower load and jib
with care, to the lowest possible point before attempting to move. DO NOT try to move crane in a sideways direction. The crane is
not designed to support the load indefinitely. When you have repositioned the load, lower the load onto a secure and
appropriate working base, being fully aware of your own and other persons locations in relation to the lowering load.
g) When load has been secured, remove lifting sling, support beam etc. and place crane in a safe location with lifting beam fully lowered.
6. MAINTENANCE/INSPECTION
NOTE: The crane MUST be kept clean and dry and must be maintained in accordance with these instructions.
6.1. LUBRICATION.
a) Oil all working parts monthly.
b) The ram is filled with oil and should only require occasional topping up. For the occasional top up DO NOT use brake fluid, as this will
damage the hydraulic seals. Proceed as follows:
1) Use only good quality hydraulic jack oil available from your Sealey stockist.
2) DO NOT OVERFILL as this will cause failure.

3) Remove plug from oil filler hole and slowly add fluid a little at a time until the level of oil is 3 - 5mm below the hole.
4) After filling with hydraulic oil, replace plug, pump the crane up to its full height and drain off any excess oil.
6.2. INSPECTION AND EXAMINATION OF CRANE BEFORE USE
a) Before each use of the crane, perform an inspection for leaks, damage, loose or missing parts.
b) Ensure that the crane operates in a safe and reliable manner and is fit for purpose.
b) The workshop crane must be examined immediately if it has been subject to an abnormal load or shock. It is recommended that such an
examination is made by an authorised service agent.
c) The owner and/or operator must be aware that repair of this equipment will require specialised knowledge and facilities. It is
recommended that an annual examination of the workshop crane is made by an authorised service agent.
d) Unauthorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
6.3. DAMAGED CRANES
Any crane which appears to be damaged, badly worn, or operates abnormally MUST BE REMOVED FROM SERVICE! It is
recommended that necessary repairs be made by an authorised service agent.
