SAFETY

Keep crane, lifting slings, support and beams in good working order and condition. Follow the inspection requirements as described in Section 6 Maintenance. Take immediate action to repair or replace damaged parts by contacting your supplier. Ensure that all accessory lifting devices are suitably certified. If crane is damaged, remove from service immediately.
Ensure the surface on which the crane is used is level, firm and capable of supporting the weight of the crane with maximum load – we recommend concrete. Never use the crane on tarmacadam or other soft surfaces.
Keep children and unauthorised persons away from the working area.
Keep working area clean and tidy, free from unrelated materials and ensure that there is adequate lighting.
Ensure that load does not exceed the maximum lifting capacity of the crane. Overloading the crane is dangerous. Where appropriate, use only the lifting points recommended by the manufacturer of the item to be lifted, e.g. vehicle engine.
Before lifting the load ensure that the crane jib is in the lowest practical position, that there are no obstacles which may snag the load whilst it is being lifted and that the area above the jib is clear.
To avoid injury, be fully aware of your own and other persons locations in relation to the lifting, and lowering, of the load.
Keep a sound footing and balance, and ensure the floor is not slippery.
Ensure jib extension locking bolt and nut are in position before lifting.
Ensure the centre of gravity always remains inside the crane base and is as close as possible to the vertical portion of the lifting member as possible.
DO NOT harness the load at an angle or use any attachments not verified as fit for purpose.
DO NOT allow the load to swing during lifting.
DO NOT allow the load to drop suddenly. Lower load with care, ensuring that you are fully aware of the condition of the surface onto which the load is to be placed.
DO NOT load crane beyond its rated capacity for each specified jib extension position as indicated in Section 3. The capacity of the crane reduces as the jib is extended.
DO NOT position any part of your body beneath the load.
DO NOT use the crane to move or transport a load other than for repositioning. The crane is a lifting device only.
DO NOT apply any sideways pressure to any part of the crane during lifting or when a load is suspended.
DO NOT attempt to adjust the safety valve, which has been set and sealed by the manufacturer.
DO NOT use this product to perform a task for which it is not designed.
DO NOT use whilst under the influence of drugs, alcohol or intoxicating medication.
DO NOT attempt to modify or alter this unit.
DO NOT climb on the crane.
When not in use fold the crane down and store in a safe, dry, childproof area.
This crane is designed for lifting within a garage or workshop environment.
WARNING: Failure to heed safety and warning instructions may result in damage and/or personal injury and will invalidate the warranty.

ASSEMBLY

WARNING: It takes two people to build the crane. Leave all nuts loose until assembly is complete.
NOTE: Item numbers refer to attached pats diagram. Unpack and check against parts lists.
Assemble base elements (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 11 and 12) using fixings shown.
Assemble upright (6) to base frame front base member (4).
Assemble boom and boom extension (7, 8) to upright (6) using fixings shown.
Fit hydraulic unit (10) starting at the lower mounting point using fixings shown.
Hang hook and chain assembly (9) using fixing shown.
Tighten all nuts and bolts.
BLEED HYDRAULIC SYSTEM: Place the pump handle into the pump socket, ensure the relief valve is in the open position fig.1) and pump the handle 10-15 times, through the full stroke, thus bleeding from the hydraulic system any air which may have entered the system during transit.

OPERATION

OPERATION. (Refer to Section 6.2 (a) regarding inspection before each and every use).
Ensure the relief valve is in the closed position (fig.1).
Place handle into pump socket and pump, the jib will raise. Continue to pump until the jib reaches the height at which the load can be secured.
Connect the crane hook to the load using a suitable certified sling or support beam. Ensure you are aware of the load weight, and check that it is within the capacity of the crane (at the jib extension you are using) and the sling or support beam. When removing engines ensure you know the weight to be lifted. Use only the lifting points recommended by the vehicle manufacturer.
Lift only from directly above the load. WARNING! DO NOT LIFT THE LOAD AT AN ANGLE!
To lower load, turn relief valve VERY SLOWLY anti-clockwise avoiding any sudden movement.
WARNING: DO NOT allow the load to drop suddenly.
The crane is not a transportation device but may be used to reposition the load being worked on. To do so, lower load and jib with care, to the lowest possible point before attempting to move. DO NOT try to move crane in a sideways direction. The crane is not designed to support the load indefinitely. When you have repositioned the load, lower the load onto a secure and appropriate working base, being fully aware of your own and other persons locations in relation to the lowering load.
When load has been secured, remove lifting sling, support beam etc. and place crane in a safe location with lifting beam fully lowered.

MAINTENANCE/INSPECTION

NOTE: The crane MUST be kept clean and dry and must be maintained in accordance with these instructions. LUBRICATION.

Oil all working parts monthly.
The ram is filled with oil and should only require occasional topping up. For the occasional top up DO NOT use brake fluid, as this will damage the hydraulic seals. Proceed as follows:
1. Use only good quality hydraulic jack oil available from your Sealey stockist.
2. DO NOT OVERFILL as this ill cause failure.
3. Remove plug from oil filler hole and slowly add fluid a little at a time until the level of oil is 3 – 5mm below the hole.
4. After flling with hydraulic oil, replace plug, pump the crane up to its full height and drain off any excess oil.

INSPECTION AND EXAMINATION OF CRANE BEFORE USE

Before each use of the crane, perform an inspection for leaks, damage, loose or missing parts.
Ensure that the crane operates in a safe and reliable manner and is fit for purpose.
The workshop crane must be examined immediately if it has been subject to an abnormal load or shock. It is recommended that such an examination is made by an authorised service agent.
The owner and/or operator must be aware that repair of this equipment will require specialised knowledge and facilities. It is recommended that an annual examination of the workshop crane is made by an authorised service agent.
Unauthorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.

DAMAGED CRANES

Any crane which appears to be damaged, badly worn, or operates abnormally MUST BE REMOVED FROM SERVICE! It is recommended that necessary repairs be made by an authorised service agent.
