•Do not try to move the crane while it is carrying weight with its boom in a raised position, as this
shift in weight greatly increases risk of the crane tipping over.
•Only use the crane on even ground capable of withstanding the weight to avoid cave-ins and
inadvertent rolling. At the same time, this minimises the swinging of the load, which in turn
minimises the risk of injury.
•Make sure that no one else is standing in the path of the crane when moving the same.
Application
•To raise the boom extension, close the release valve of the hydraulic cylinder. Then attach the
lever to the hydraulic cylinder and pump it until the boom extension has reached the desired
height.
•The boom length can be extended by removing the bolt and nut placed therein, before then
pulling the boom extension out until the pre-drilled holes overlap. Now reinsert the bolt and
secure it with the appropriate nut.
•WARNING! The maximum lifting capacity of the crane must not be exceeded. Infringement
can lead to severe damage and injuries. Please be aware that the maximum lifting capacity
decreases with an increasing boom length.
•Position the crane in a way that the object to be lifted is placed directly beneath the hook.
•By slightly opening the release valve the hook can be lowered, before the item you want to lift
can then be attached to the hook. Once the item has been attached to the hook, make sure that
the safety latch of the hook is completely closed. The close the release valve and utilise the
lever to raise the boom.
•WARNING! Be extreme cautious when lifting loads, ensure that they have been secured ap-
propriately and make sure that they do not swing. Inappropriately secured or swinging loads
carry an increased risk of falling off the hook.
•Once the item has been lifted out of its mount, lower the boom to be able to slowly and carefully
transport the item.
Maintenance
•Always make sure to check the entire device before each use to ensure that the crane is in
pristine condition.
•Make sure that the hook and chain are clean and thereby free from grease, dirt, and debris.
•In case the hydraulic system of the crane does not operate correctly, air might have entered the
same. Please abide to the following steps to remove the air from the system:
1. First make sure that the boom is in its home position (the boom is completely lowered).
2. Remove the oil fill plug and pour some additional hydraulic oil into the tank.
3. Now begin to pump until the boom has reached its maximum height.
4. Open the release valve and press the boom down until the cylinder has been completely
retracted.
5. Add some more hydraulic oil and reinsert the oil fill plug.
6. Repeat these steps if necessary.
•We advise the use of a wet towel in combination and a mild detergent for cleaning purposes.
•In case of a decrease of lifting capacity, please check the device's oil level and replenish it if
necessary.
