Read ENTIRE IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION section at beginning of this manual including all text under subheadings therein before set up or use of this product.

Note: Once Assembly is complete, tighten ALL Bolts before initial operation.

Bleeding Instructions

IMPORTANT!

Before first use, check for proper hydraulic oil level and thoroughly test the Crane. If it does not work properly, bleed air from its hydraulic system as follows:

1. Remove Oil Fill Plug. Fill with hydraulic oil

(sold separately) to full level, if necessary.

2. Open Release Valve by turning counterclockwise with Ram Handle.

3. Insert Ram Handle into Fulcrum, apply downward pressure to Boom, then pump

Handle quickly several times.

Operating the Crane

4. Check oil level and, if necessary, top off with hydraulic oil.

5. Close Release Valve and replace Oil Fill Plug.

6. Test Crane several times for proper operation before attempting to lift a load.

7. If, after bleeding, the Crane still does not appear to be working properly, do not use until repaired by a qualified service technician.

WARNING! The Boom Extension has four positions. Each position has a weight capacity marked on the Boom. Do not lift more than rated capacity. Be aware of dynamic loading! Sudden load movement may briefly create excess load causing product failure and serious bodily injury.

Maintenance and Servicing

Procedures not specifically explained in this manual must be performed only by a qualified technician.

TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM ACCIDENTAL OPERATION:

Do not use damaged equipment. If abnormal noise or vibration occurs, have the problem corrected before further use.

Cleaning, Maintenance, and Lubrication

1.

BEFORE EACH USE,

inspect the general condition of the tool. Check for:

• loose hardware,

• misalignment or binding of moving parts,

• cracked or broken parts,

• proper Ram operation, and

• any other condition that may affect its safe operation.

2. Lubricate the Grease Fitting with a grease gun once a month, or when the Boom becomes difficult to swivel on the Post.

Note: If Crane will be exposed to wet conditions, more frequent lubrication may be necessary to prevent buildup of rust.

3. Change the hydraulic oil at least once every year: a. Remove Ram from Crane. Lower ram completely.

b. Remove Oil Fill Plug.

c. Tip Ram to allow old hydraulic oil to completely drain out.

d. Dispose of old hydraulic oil in accordance with local regulations.

e. With the Ram upright, fill with hydraulic oil (sold separately) to full level.

f. Open Valve Release Screw and pump the

Handle to bleed air from the system. g. Reinstall Oil Fill Plug.

h. Reinstall Ram to Crane.

4. Top assembly may be removed and stored indoors in a dry, safe place out of the reach of children.

Troubleshooting

TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY: Use caution when troubleshooting malfunctioning

Crane. Stay clear of supported load. Completely resolve all problems before use.

If solutions presented in Troubleshooting guide do not solve the problem, have a qualified technician inspect and repair Crane before use.

After Crane is repaired: Test it carefully without a load by raising and lowering it fully, checking for proper operation, BEFORE RETURNING CRANE TO OPERATION.

DO NOT USE A DAMAGED OR

MALFUNCTIONING CRANE!

PROBABLE SOLUTION

(Make certain that the Crane is not supporting a load while attempting a solution.)

Check that Release Valve is closed fully.

Bleed air from the system.

Valve may be blocked and may not close fully. To flush the valve:

1. Lower the Boom and securely close the Release Valve.

2. Manually lift the Boom several inches.

3. Open the Release Valve and force the Boom down as quickly as possible.

Ram may be low on oil. Check the oil level and refill if needed.

Ram may require bleeding - see

Bleeding Instructions on page 6.

Unit may have too much hydraulic oil inside; check fluid level and adjust if needed.
