5. OPERATION
Refer to Section 6.2 regarding inspection before each and every use
NOTE:
ENSURE YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD THE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AT THE
BEGINNING OF THIS SECTION BEFORE YOU OPERATE THE CRANE.
5.2.1. Use the pump handle recess to tighten the release valve, turning firmly clockwise.
5.2.2. 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.
5.2.3. 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.
5.2.4. Lift only from directly above the load. DO NOT LIFT THE LOAD AT AN ANGLE!
5.2.5. To lower load, position handle on release valve at base of ram and turn VERY SLOWLY anti-
clockwise avoiding any sudden movement. DO NOT allow the load to drop suddenly.
5.2.6. 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.
5.2.7. When load has been secured, remove lifting sling, support beam etc. and place crane in a
safe location with the jib fully lowered.
6. MAINTENANCE/INSPECTION
NOTE: The crane MUST be kept clean and dry and maintained in accordance with these instructions.
6.1. LUBRICATION
6.1.1. Oil all working parts monthly.
6.1.2. The ram is filled with hydraulic 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.
6.1.3. Use only good quality hydraulic jack oil (Sealey Part No: HJO500MLS or HJO5LS). DO NOT OVERFILL.
6.1.4. After filling with hydraulic oil, check the crane for operation and purge any air from the system as required (See 4.1.8).
6.2. INSPECTION AND EXAMINATION OF CRANE BEFORE USE
6.2.1. Before each use of the crane you must perform an inspection for leaks, damage and loose or missing parts.
6.2.2. 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.
6.2.3. The owner and/or operator must be aware that repair of this equipment will require specialised knowledge and facilities.
6.2.4. It is recommended that an annual examination of the workshop crane is made by an authorised service agent.
6.2.5. Unauthorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
NOTE: Please see the Definition of 'INSPECTION' and 'EXAMINATION' below.
INSPECTION:
Looking at the crane for defects and checking the operation of the controls, limiting and indicating devices without loading the crane.
This is much more than a check but does not normally require any part of the crane to be dismantled other than removal or opening
of covers or housings.
EXAMINATION:
Verification that the crane can safely continue in service including a functional test of all safety devices i.e. limiting, indicating
equipment, brakes, clutches, safety valves etc. to verify that they operate within the required tolerances. An examination is more
thorough than an inspection.
