Technical Data
Parts Guide
Assembly
Work on a solid level concrete floor when assembling your crane. If this recommendation is not observed your crane could be out of alignment after assembly, this is dangerous. Bolt and nut sizes and quantities are provided on the hardware list.
-
Attach castors (5) to strut (8) using appropriate bolts and nuts.
Note: the two castors located in the centre section (30) differ in size to the castors (5). -
Position strut legs (8) onto the main frame (1), secure with appropriate bolts and nuts and locate pins (3) to create a solid work platform.
-
Position the main post (10), and support straps (11) and attach boom (13).
-
Position the main power jack in the bracket provided. Fasten the lower section first then locate top section of the jack onto the boom (13) and secure it with bolt and nut provided.
-
Secure chain and hook assembly (19) onto boom extension (16) using the bolt and nut provided.
-
Slide boom extension into main boom and secure with bolt and nut provided.
-
Check all bolts and nuts are securely fastened.
Note: the 2 centre wheels will only make contact with the ground when a weight is lifted. This flexing is normal. -
Before first use, purge the jack of air that may have entered during transportation. Open the release valve (turn anti-clockwise) while holding the end of the ram cylinder down. Operate the pump handle rapidly several times, and repeat until the spongy feeling disappears.
-
When the ram cylinder is extended for the first time lubricate fully with light grade hydraulic oil. It is also recommended that the twin pump push rods be lubricated. This will prevent damage to seals.
Operation
- Locate the slotted end of the pump handle onto the Hydraulic Pressure Release Nut at the base of the Ram assembly.
- Turn the nut clockwise until tight (do not over-tighten).
- Remove the handle and locate it in the pump collar. Pump the ram to raise the jib to the required height.
- Lower the arm by locating the slotted end of the pump handle onto the pressure release nut and very slowly turning in an anticlockwise direction. The rate of descent can be adjusted by turning the release nut.
