6. MAINTENANCE / EXAMINATION / 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. DO NOT use brake fluid, as this will damage the hydraulic
seals and invalidate the warranty. Proceed as follows:
a) Use only good quality hydraulic jack oil available from your supplier.
b) DO NOT OVERFILL as this will cause failure.
c) After filling with hydraulic oil via filler plug (fig.2.C), pump the crane up to its full height and pour off any excess oil.
6.2.
INSPECTION AND EXAMINATION OF CRANE BEFORE USE.
a)
Before each use of the crane you must perform an inspection for leaks, damage, loose or missing parts.
b)
The 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.
Note! 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 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 continue safely 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.
7. 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.
d)
STORAGE.
Always store the crane fully closed so that the boom is in lowest position and the ram is closed. Prevent the crane from rotating by
tightening the locking arm.
