2. Bolt the castor wheels to the base frame and leg extensions. The two smaller

castors (24) locate at the middle of the assembly and the two larger items with

brakes (35) are installed on the base frame (where the operator will use them).

3. Position the Main Support Post (4), over the holes provided, so that the Hydraulic

Ram Assy bracket on the main support is facing towards the front wheels. Secure

using bolts (20).

4. Connect the support bars (3), to their upper mountings at either side of the main

support post with bolts (32). Connect the support bars to the Base with bolts (11),

nuts and washers. Add the leg storage brackets (34) to the sides of the Base. Fully

tighten all nuts and bolts assembled used so far.

5. Fit the Hydraulic Pump/Ram assembly (18), (with ram piston uppermost), into its

mounting on the Main Support Post. Having lined up the hole in the bracket with

that in the ram assembly, insert bolt (12) and tighten fully. Be careful not to over-

tighten and clamp the pump/ram assembly. Allow the ram assembly to rest

against the support post.

6. Lift the jib (1) into position in its mounting on top of the main support post and

secure with bolt (10).

7. Raise the jib and manoeuvre the hydraulic ram assembly until the ram enters the

bracket under the jib. Line up the holes in the bracket and ram and insert bolt

(12). It may be necessary to extend the ram to facilitate its location.

8. To do this, ensure the control valve

on the side of the ram assembly is

closed by turning it firmly clockwise

using the notched end of the pump

handle. Pump the handle until the

ram extends by the required amount.

9. Raise the jib to a horizontal position

using the hydraulic ram and insert

the Jib Extension (2) to any selected

length (see OPERATION page 8).

• Ensure that the slot at one end of the extension is outermost and on its

underside.

10. Slide the jib extension in as far as convenient and secure in position with the R-clip

provided.

11. Fit the chain and hook assembly (17) to the end of the jib extension by sliding the

end chain link into the slot provided and threading the bolt (14) through the

locating hole and chain link.

12. Finally check to ensure that all nuts are fully tightened and the hydraulic ram

assembly, wheels and castors, all operate freely.
