Bleeding Instructions

SAFETYOPERATIONMAINTENANCE SETUP

Figure J

Adjust the Boom Extension so the hole furthest from the hook-end aligns with the chosen hole on the Boom. Secure into place by inserting the Bolt through all aligned holes and tightening in place with the Washer and Nut. See Figure 10 above.

WARNING! Do not stand under an object that is being lifted by the Engine Crane. Be aware of the

possibility of a load slipping off the Hook and Chain. An item that falls from the Crane can cause serious injury.

3. Move the Crane so that the Hook and Chain is directly above the item to be lifted.

4. Securely attach the Hook and Chain to the item.

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

1. Open Release Valve and lower Jack completely.

2. Remove Oil Plug and fill with hydraulic oil (sold separately) to full level.

3. Apply downward pressure to the Boom and Pump the Jack Handle quickly several times.

4. Check the Oil Fill Hole and, if necessary, top off the Oil Fill Hole with hydraulic oil.

5. Replace the Oil Plug and close the Release Valve.

6. Test the equipment several times for proper operation before attempting to lift a load. If, after bleeding, the equipment still does not appear to be working properly, do not use the equipment until it has been repaired by a qualified service 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 Jack. Check for broken, cracked, or bent parts, loose or missing parts, and any condition that may affect the proper operation of the product. If a problem occurs, have the problem corrected before further use.

Do not use damaged equipment.

2. Before each use, thoroughly test the Jack for proper operation prior to its actual use. If the Jack appears not to be working properly, follow Bleeding instructions on page 9.

3. Change the hydraulic oil at least once every three years:

a. With the Jack fully lowered, remove the Oil

Filler Plug on the side of the Housing.

b. Tip the Jack to allow the old hydraulic oil

to drain out of the Housing completely, and dispose of the old hydraulic oil in accordance with local regulations.

c. With the Jack upright, completely fill the Housing

with a high quality hydraulic oil (not included) until the oil just begins to run out of the Oil Fill Hole.

d. Open the valve Release Screw and pump

the Handle to bleed air from the system.

e. Reinstall the Oil Filler Plug.

4. Wipe dry with a clean cloth. Then, store the Jack in a safe, dry location out of reach of children and other non-authorized people.
