OPERATION

IMPORTANT: Make sure that the hook is directly above the point of lift,

which in turn is directly above the centre of gravity of the load.

ALWAYS visually inspect the crane before use to ensure that all parts are correctly

located and secure. Check for hydraulic leaks, signs of damage or worn parts and

check the wheels and castors for serviceability.

RAISING THE JIB

To raise the jib arm, firstly locate the slotted end of the pump handle on to the

hydraulic pressure release nut at the base of the ram assembly.

Turn the nut clockwise until tight, then remove the handle and locate it in the pump

collar. Pump the ram to raise the jib to the required height.

LOWERING THE JIB

To lower the jib, locate the slotted end of the pump handle on to the pressure release

nut and very slowly turn in an anticlockwise direction.

The jib will lower under its own weight. The more the valve is opened, the faster the

load will lower. EXERCISE GREAT CARE WHEN LOWERING HEAVY LOADS.

EXTENDING THE JIB

1. Lift the jib to a horizontal position.

2. Remove the locating pin.

3. Reposition the jib extension to the

desired length.

• The hole near the end of the jib

extension will match the hole in

the jib according to the weight

being lifted. These are clearly

marked.

4. Replace the locating pin and secure with the R-clip provided.

5. Store the operating handle in the socket provided when not in use.

WARNING: WHEN REMOVING AN ENGINE, ENSURE THE VEHICLE IS

WELL SUPPORTED AND SECURE. ALL ANCILLARY PARTS MUST BE

DISCONNECTED, I.E. EXHAUST SYSTEM, ELECTRICAL CABLES AND

HOSES, ETC. AND ONLY LIFTING POINTS RECOMMENDED BY THE

VEHICLE MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE USED.
