OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Inspect before each use.
Do not use if broken, bent, cracked or damaged parts are
noted. If the engine crane appears damaged in any way, or operates abnormally it
should be removed from service immediately. If the engine crane has been or sus-
pected to have been subjected to a shock load (a load dropped suddenly, unex-
pectedly upon it), immediately discontinue use until the engine crane has been
checked by an authorised service centre / agent (contact your distributor or manufac-
turer for list of authorised service centres). It is recommended that an annual inspec-
tion be done by a qualified person/s.
PRE-OPERATION CHECKS
Note:
Before each use, check the oil level and thoroughly test the hydrau-
lic ram before applying a load. If it does not work properly it may need to
be bled. See the maintenance page on how to bleed it.
Step 1:
Remove the bolt, washer and
nut and move the boom extension
to the desired lifting weight position,
refit the bolt, washer and nut.

Boom Extension
Note:
Ensure that the position selected is higher than the weight you will
be lifting, i.e. select 2 ton for a load that is over 1.5 ton but less than 2 ton.
Step 2:
Position the crane so that the hook is directly above the item to be lifted.
Step 3:
Attach the hook securely to the straps/chains.
Danger:
Always be aware of the possibility of a load slipping off the hook, use
common sense and watch what you are doing at all times. Remember that if the
engine falls from the crane it can cause serious injury.
