SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNING: FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THESE RULES AND PRECAUTIONS, MAY

RESULT IN LOSS OF LOAD, DAMAGE TO, OR FAILURE OF THE EQUIPMENT, OR

EVEN PERSONAL INJURY.

1. Always read instructions before setting up the equipment and before use.

2. Always inspect the crane before use to ensure it is correctly assembled and in good condition, and replace any damaged or worn parts.

3. When replacing parts, use only those supplied by Clarke International. Refer to Parts List on pages 8-9.

4. Never exceed the safe working load capacities specified on the jib for each position (as marked on the jib).

IMPORTANT: If the load capacity decal becomes worn or illegible, contact Clarke

Parts and service department, on 0208 988 7400 for replacement.

5. Only use chains, slings, hooks etc. with a rated capacity equal to, or greater than that of the load. Check that they are secure and will not slip under load.

6. Always lock the jib and legs into position before lifting a load.

7. Only use the crane on a flat, solid, level surface that is capable of bearing the weight of the load.

8. Lower the load as much as possible before moving the crane. Do not use the crane to transport loads.

9. Use appropriate safety equipment, such as protective footwear, when using this crane.

10. Ensure the crane operator is skilled and trained in both operation and safety aspects.

11. Do not allow the load to swing or drop suddenly whilst moving or lowering.

12. If the crane has been subjected to an abnormal load or shock, it should be removed from service immediately and fully inspected by qualified personnel.

13. Ensure that the crane is properly maintained, and lubricated at all times, and that corrosion is not allowed to weaken any part of the crane.

14. Do not use around children or untrained persons.

15. This is a heavy unit (165 kg). Take care when lifting.

16. Do not use this crane to lift people.

17. Do not work under any raised load.

STORAGE - VERY IMPORTANT

See separate section on page 6

BEFORE USE

1. Remove the leg securing pin from one of the legs as shown.

• You may need to rotate the leg securing pin to align the locking pin with the notch at the top of the boss.

2. Lower the leg carefully to the floor.

3. Repeat for the other leg.

4. Secure both legs in the down position using the leg securing pin as shown.

• You will need to get someone to tilt the crane back slightly as you insert the pin.

• Align the small locking pin with the notch at the top of the boss.

• Once the locking pin has passed the face of the boss the securing pin should then be rotated, locking the pin in position.

5. Position the crane as required and lock the casters to stop the crane from moving during use.

OPERATION

RAISING THE JIB

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.

1. Use the end of the pump handle

(24) to close the valve by turning it fully clockwise.

• It should only be hand tight: do not overtighten.

2. Return the pump handle (24) to the pump linkage and pump the handle until the crane reaches the desired height.

LOWERING THE JIB

1. Use the end of the pump handle

(24) to turn the valve anticlockwise

VERY SLOWLY.

• The speed of lowering the load is controlled by how much you turn the valve.

EXTENDING THE JIB

Raise the jib to a horizontal position.

1. Remove the R-Clip from one side of the pin.

2. Withdraw the pin.

3. Reposition the jib extension to the desired length.

Note: Never try to adjust the jib when it is supporting a load.

4. Replace the pin and secure using the R-Clip.

NOTES : a.

During transit or storage, an air pocket may have developed within the hydraulic ram, making the ram appear to be ‘spongy’. As the ram is self bleeding, any air will be dispelled and the ram action normalised by fully raising and lowering the jib a few times.

b.

Should the jib not reach its full height, the oil level should be checked, as described in the Maintenance section.

5

STORAGE

ALWAYS get adult assistance when folding the crane into its storage configuration.

TO STORE THE CRANE.

1. With an assistant supporting the crane, pull out the lock pin (9), you may need to tilt the crane back slightly to do this correctly.

• You may need to rotate the leg securing pin to align the locking pin with the notch at the top of the boss.

Lock Pin

NOTE: REMEBER THE CRANE IS HEAVY.

2. Raise the leg up to the storage position.

3. Replace the lock pin (9), through the hole in the frame so that the leg is locked in the up position.

4. Repeat this for the other leg. then check both legs are secure.

Pump handle

5. The pump handle (24) is housed in a bracket on the side of the main support post (31).

6. Once the crane is folded use extreme care when moving it to the storage location.

STORAGE WARNINGS

1. The crane MUST be firmly secured to a wall or fixed location when not in use.

2. Use a strong strap or chain or suitable restraint to prevent any accidental movement.

3. Test that the crane is firmly secured before leaving it in its storage location.

• Alternatively you can lay the crane down and store it flat.

4. Always, store the crane with the jib in its lowest position.

This prevents any possibility of corrosion of the ram.

5. Do not leave the crane in the open, or exposed to the elements. Keep under cover.

MAINTENANCE

GENERAL

1. Do not attempt to adjust or tamper with the ram assembly, there are no serviceable parts. Contact the Clarke service department for any repairs.

BEFORE USE

1. 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.

2. A slight dampness on the ram is normal, but where leakage is apparent, the ram seals must be renewed. Consult the Clarke service department.

EVERY WEEK

1. Each pin and bolt should be removed and inspected for wear, deformation or cracks. If any are apparent, the pin or bolt should be renewed.

2. Check the hydraulic ram operation and check the hydraulic oil level. (see below).

ANNUALLY

The crane should be fully inspected annually by a competent person.

1. Check wheels and castors to ensure they move freely without undue wear to their bores, and that the wheels are not cracked or damaged in any way.

2. Remov e any rust or corrosion and repaint to prevent further corrosion.

3. Ensure that all decals and warning labels are in place and perfectly legible.

HYDRAULIC OIL

It may be necessary from time to time to top up the hydraulic oil level, as follows.

1. Lower the jib to its lowest position, and remove the bolt (30) that joins the ram (28) to the jib (33).

2. Rest the ram against the main support post and raise and prop up the jib (33). Use a cable or similar ensure the ram does not drop.

3. Remove the vent plug from the side of the ram.

4. Top up the oil until it is level with the hole. Then replace the vent plug.

• We recommend that the hydraulic oil is changed after every 100 hours of operation.

Vent plug

NOTE : Top up using Clarke hydraulic oil (part number 3050830).

• Do not mix different types of oil.
