Ensure that casters/wheels and boom move freely. Check for and tighten any loose assemblies. 2. Verify that the product and the application are compatible. 3. Before using this product, read the owner's manual completely and familiarize yourself thoroughly with the product and the hazards associated with its improper use. ! SAFETY MESSAGE ! • Lift only on areas of the engine as specified by the vehicle manufacturer. • Be sure all tools and personnel are clear before lowering load. 1. Load capacity should be coordinated with boom extension and legs extension. Do not extend boom extension beyond the marking that coordinate with the legs extension. 2. Ensure application is compatible with product. 3. Secure engine to chain/sling hook assembly, ensuring load is centered. 4. Follow vehicle service manual recommendations to remove engine. When ready to remove engine, turn release valve clockwise until firm. Pump handle until load is high enough to clear vehicle. 5. Immediately upon removal and when clear of the vehicle, lower the load to the lowest practical position by turning the release valve lever counter-clockwise slowly and carefully. ! WARNING • Study, understand, and follow all instructions provided with and on this device before operating this device. • Do not exceed rated capacity for each boom position. • Use the device only on a hard, level surface. • These engine cranes are intended to be used to lift and lower rated capacity automotive and light truck engines. It is an aid in the removal and installation of automotive and light truck engines. • Only use chains and slings with a capacity equal to or greater than that of the crane. • If loaded crane must be moved, make certain that load is stable, is in lowest possible position and is moved over a smooth, hard level surface. • Avoid shock loads caused by the rapid opening and closing of release valve. • Shock loads may cause the load to swing, causing the crane to flip violently, bend or break. • Ensure the boom is fully lowered before checking or adding fluid to the hydraulic unit. • Never extend boom extension beyond furthest distance of leg extension. • Do not stand over loaded boom nor in its intended line of travel. • Do not use adapters or accessories that are not provided initially. • Do not use the device for any purpose other than that for which it is intended. • Do not modify this device. • Failure to heed these markings may result in personal injury and/or property damage. Note: Avoid rolling the loaded engine crane. To help position an engine stand if necessary, move only across smooth, level, seamless surfaces. Before moving ensure the load: a. is lowered to the lowest practical position, but always below the center of gravity. b. is prevented from swinging and inadvertent shifting. 5. Position a suitable engine stand near the removed engine, then immediately transfer the load to appropriate engine support device (engine stand). 6. Check to ensure stand is secure before working on or around. ! WARNING To avoid crushing and related injuries: NEVER work on, under or around a load supported only by a crane. Immediately transfer the load to an appropriately rated engine stand. 4 MAINTENANCE Important: Use only a good grade hydraulic jack oil. Avoid mixing different types of fluid and NEVER use brake fluid, turbine oil, transmission fluid, motor oil or glycerin. Improper fluid can cause failure of the jack and the potential for sudden and immediate loss of load. We recommend Mobil 13M or equivalent. Lubrication A periodic coating of light lubricating oil to pivot points, axles and hinges will help to prevent rust and assure that wheels, casters, and pump assemblies move freely. Cleaning Periodically check the pump piston and ram for signs of rust or corrosion. Clean as needed and wipe with an oily cloth. Adding oil 1. Carefully remove hydraulic jack from crane. 2. With ram fully lowered and pump piston fully depressed, set jack in its upright, level position. Remove oil filler plug. 3. Fill with oil until just below the rim of the oil filler plug hole. Reinstall the oil filler plug. Note: Never use sandpaper or abrasive material on these surfaces ! Storage 1. When not in use, store the jack with pump piston and ram fully retracted. 2. To transform the crane into storage position: a. Remove lock pin (#24 on figure 2) from boom. b. Lean hydraulic unit back against upright and slowly lower the boom to rest against hydraulic unit. c. Remove bolts (#8 on figure 2) of left and right legs of the crane. d. Remove legs from crane and keep it in the leg holder at each side of upright. Changing oil For best performance and longest life, replace the complete fluid supply annually. 1. Carefully remove hydraulic jack from crane. 2. With ram fully lowered and pump piston fully depressed, set jack in its upright, level position. Remove oil filler plug. 3. Lay the jack on its side and drain the fluid into a suitable container. Note: Dispose of hydraulic fluid in accordance with local regulations. 4. Set jack in its level upright position. 5. Fill with oil until just below the rim of the oil filler plug hole. Reinstall the oil filler plug. Figure 3 - Engine Crane Storage Position 5 TROUBLESHOOTING Symptom Possible Causes Corrective Action Jack will not lift load • Release valve not tightly closed • Overload condition • Ensure release valve tightly closed • Remedy overload condition Jack *bleeds off after lift • Release valve not tightly closed • Overload condition • Hydraulic unit malfunction • Ensure release valve tightly closed • Remedy overload condition • Replace hydraulic unit • Reservoir overfilled • Drain fluid to proper level Poor lift performance • Fluid level low • Air trapped in system • Ensure proper fluid level • With ram fully retracted, remove oil filler plug to let pressurized air escape, then reinstall oil filler plug. Jack will not lift to full extension • Fluid level low • Ensure proper fluid level Jack will not lower after unloading * "Bleeding off" means that jack begins to slowly lower rather than keep load at height. 6 REPLACEMENT PARTS Not all components of the crane are replacement items, but are illustrated as a convenient reference of location and position in the assembly sequence.
