5. ASSEMBLY/STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS
5.1
ASSEMBLY.
Unpack the product and check contents against the parts list in these instructions. Should there be any damaged or missing parts
contact your supplier immediately. We recommend two people assemble the crane as follows:
a)
Lay out all the parts in the appropriate positions ready for assembly.
b)
When assembling, ensure that you fit a plain washer, then a locking washer before fitting nuts onto bolts.
c)
Assemble the crane main frame first, leaving the hydraulic ram assembly until last.
Note: At this stage all nuts and bolts should be finger tight only.
d)
Connect the base of the ram assembly to the ram assembly mounting.
e)
Raise the lift arm and carefully move it until the ram fits the arm bracket. Engage the pin and secure with the fasteners
f)
Now tighten all the nuts and bolts on the main frame.
g)
Carefully lay crane on its back on the floor the assembled main frame with the ram side facing up.
h)
Assemble and insert the legs and locate with pins provided.
i)
By using the handle, push the assembled crane into the working position so that all four wheels are in contact with the floor.
j)
Before using crane place the pumping handle on the release valve and turn to the left. With the handle inserted in the pump
socket, pump 10-15 times through the full stroke, thus bleeding, from the hydraulic system, any air which may have entered during
transit.
5.2
STORAGe.
a)
Always store the crane fully closed so that the jib is in lowest position and the ram is closed (fig.2).
b)
To save space the legs may be folded into the upright position and secured in place using the Lock Pins as fig.2.
SECURE LEGS UPRIGHT WITH LOCKING PINS
6. OWNER'S & OPERATOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES
The owner and/or operator shall study these instructions and retain them for future use.
a)
Understanding instructions and warnings.
The owner and/or operator shall understand the operating instructions and warnings before operating the crane. Warning information
must be emphasised and understood. If the operator is not fluent in English, the product instructions and warnings must be read to,
and discussed with, the operator in the operator's native language by the owner, making sure the operator understands the contents.
b)
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.
c)
End of service.
Through years of normal wear, the crane will eventually become unserviceable. When this happens ensure the hydraulic oil is drained
off and disposed of in accordance with local authority regulations.
