6. Assembly and Commissioning Instructions
WARNING
Some of the parts are heavy and will need to be lifted with care. You may need the assis-
tance of a second person with the heavier assemblies.
Place the carton in a clear working area and open carefully. The carton contains:
• Mast & Hydraulic Unit Assembly
• Boom Assembly
• Chair Support Tube (Seat option)
• Spreader Bar Assembly (Sling option)
• Wallet Containing Documents
and in separate cartons:
• Transporter seat & chassis (Seat option)
• “A”, “B” or “C” Socket - to be specified when ordering - supplied separately
1. Remove the “A”, “B” or “C” socket from the packaging and install according to the
instructions in the Installation of the Dipper base socket in the ‘Installation of the Oxford
Dipper Base Socket’ section of this manual.
SAFETY NOTE: The “C” socket is heavy and will need to be lifted with care. You may
need the assistance of a second person when lifting.
2. After the socket is correctly installed, remove the rest of the parts from the carton taking
care to protect the finish from damage.
3. Insert the spigot at the base of the mast into the socket. The spigot will displace any water
in the socket so caution should be exercised to avoid splashing.
WARNING
Avoid trapping fingers. Keep fingers away from the end of the mast spigot when
inserting into the socket.
4. Fully unwind the “T” shaped clamp screw at the top of the mast. The travel of the screw is
limited by a fixed stop. Keep turning until the stop is encountered.
DO NOT force the screw
past the stop.
5. Assemble the boom to the mast. Engage the boom and tie rod pivots in the locating hooks
at the top of the mast.
6. Still holding the boom in place, insert the boom ram spigot into the top of the hydraulic ram.
The boom can now be released.
7. Rewind the “T” shaped clamp screw and tighten fully.
8. Close the hydraulic unit release valve by turning the knurled black knob on the unit fully clockwise.
NOTE: The release valve requires only minimal tightening to operate and should only
be closed finger tight. DO NOT apply excessive force to the valve knob as this will
result in damage to the valve.
9. Pump the handle of the hydraulic unit and confirm the ram raises the boom.
