5. OPERATION INSTRUCTION
1. To raise the Extension Boom, close the Release Valve on the
Hydraulic Ram. Then, pump the Handle until the Extension
Boom reaches the desired height.
2. To extend the length of the Extension Boom, remove bolt and
nut. Pull out on the Extension Boom until the desired extension
hole in the Boom aligns with the hole in the Extension Boom.
Then re-insert the bolt through the holes in the Boom and
Extension Boom, and lock the bolt in place with the nut.
3. WARNING! Do not exceed the maximum lifting capacities of
this tool. Exceeding the maximum lifting capacities could
cause personal injury and/or property damage. The longer
the Extension Boom is extended, the lower the lifting capacity
of this Shop Crane.
4. Position the Shop Crane so that the Hook is directly above
the object you wish to lift.
5. WARNING! Stay clear of the Shop Crane. Never go under an
object being lifted by the Crane. It is possible for the Hook to
slip, causing an object to fall, possibly resulting in serious
injury and/or property damage. Always monitor the object
being lifted so it does not rock back and forth.
6. Open the Release Valve slightly to lower the Hook. Attach
the Hook to the object you are lifting, and make sure the
Safety Latch on the Hook is fully closed. Then close the
Release Valve, and pump the Handle to raise the object.
Carefully move the Shop Crane to the location where you
wish to lower the object, i.e., an engine stand, proper support,
floor surface, etc. Then lower the object by opening the
Release Valve slightly.
7. Once the object is fully lowered, disconnect the Hook from
the object. Then store the Shop Crane (unfolded or folded)
in a clean, dry, safe location out of reach of children and other
unauthorized people.
6. MAINTENANCE
1. Check all of the mounting hardware before each use and
make sure it is secure before using the Shop Crane.
2. Make sure the Hook & Chain are clean of dirt, grease,
or debris.
3. If the Jack is not performing to satisfaction, there may be air
in the hydraulic system. To purge the system of air, follow
these instructions.
a. Make sure the Ram is completely lowered.
b. Remove the Oil Fill Plug and top off with Hydraulic Fluid.
c. Raise the Ram to maximum height.
d. Loosen the Release Valve and push the Ram all the way
down.
e. Top off with Hydraulic Fluid and replace the plug. Repeat
if necessary.
4. To clean, use a damp cloth and a mild detergent. Do not use
solvents or other flammable agents.
5. If lifting performance of the Shop Crane begins to diminish,
check the hydraulic oil level in the Oil Tank. If necessary, top
off the Oil Tank with hydraulic oil.
