3. SAFETY
3.1 SAFETY
Keep crane, lifting slings, support and beams in good working order and condition. follow the inspection requirements as
3
described in section 6 page 3 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.
3 Ensure 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.
3 Ensure the crane legs and arms are locked before use and that the adjustable rods are screwed down to the floor.
3 Keep children and unauthorised persons away from the working area.
3 Keep working area clean and tidy, free from unrelated materials and ensure that there is adequate lighting.
3 Ensure 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.
3 Before 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.
3 To avoid injury, be fully aware of your own and other persons locations in relation to the lifting, and lowering, of the load.
3 Keep a sound footing and balance, and ensure the floor is not slippery.
3 Ensure jib extension locking bolt and nut are in position before lifting.
3 Ensure the centre of gravity always remains inside the crane base.
7 DO NOT harness the load at an angle or use any attachments not verified as fit for purpose.
7 DO NOT allow the load to swing during lifting.
7 DO 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.
7 DO NOT load crane beyond its rated capacity for each specified jib extension position as indicated in section 2 page 1.
the capacity of the crane reduces as the jib is extended.
7 DO NOT position any part of your body beneath the load.
7 DO NOT use the crane to move or transport a load other than for repositioning (see 5.1.f). the crane is a lifting device only.
7 DO NOT apply any sideways pressure to any part of the crane during lifting or when a load is suspended.
7 DO NOT attempt to adjust the safety valve, which has been set and sealed by the manufacturer.
7 DO NOT use this product to perform a task for which it is not designed.
7 DO NOT use whilst under the influence of drugs, alcohol or intoxicating medication.
7 DO NOT climb on the crane.
3 When not in use fold the crane down and store in a safe, dry, childproof area.
3 This 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.
NOTE:
ENSURE YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD THE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS SECTION BEFORE YOU
OPERATE THE CRANE.
4. ASSEMBLY
4.1
Assembly (Refer to attached Parts Diagram Page 5)
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) Attach the two rear swivel wheels (15) to the base (1) using bolts (19), washers (20) and nuts (21). then screw adjustable rods
(10) into base.
b) Attach the two front legs (3) to the base (1). their bolts pass (23) pass through the support brace (9), through the leg, then through
the support straps (7), fix with nuts (27). Use the locating pins (8) to secure the leg in the horizontal position.
c) Attach the front wheels (13) to the front of the legs using bolts (34), spring washer (35), front wheel washer (16) and front wheel
sleeve (14)and nut (18).
d) Attach upright (2) to base (1) using bolts (24). secure support straps (7) to upright using bolt (32) and nut (27).
e) fit handle (17) using bolts (22) and washers (20).
f) Attach boom and cover (4) using bolt (36), washer (29) and nut (30). fit boom extension (5) using locating pin (8). fit hook (12)
using bolt (33), washer (28) and nut (27).
g) Fit the hydraulic ram unit (6), fix the bottom first using bolt (25), flat washer (29) and nut (30). Fix the top of the ram using bolt (31),
washer (29) and nut (30).
h) Bleed the hydraulic system: Place the pump handle into the pump socket, ensure release handwheel is in the open position and
pump the handle 10-15 times through the full stroke, thus bleeding from the hydraulic system any air which may have entered during
transit.
