• Study, understand, and follow all
instructions provided with and on
this device before operating this
device.
• Do not exceed rated capacity for
each boom position.
• Use the device only on a hard, level
surface.
• This engine crane is intended to be
used to lift and lower rated capacity
automotive and light truck engines.
• Only use chains and slings with a
capacity equal to or greater than that
of the crane.
• If loaded crane must be moved,
make certain that load is stable, is
in lowest possible position and is
moved over a smooth, hard level
surface.
• Do not modify this device.
• Do not allow load to swing or drop
violently while lowering or moving.
• Avoid shock loads caused by the
rapid opening and closing of
release valve.
• Shock loads may cause the load to
swing, causing the crane to flip
violently, bend or break.
• Ensure the boom is fully lowered
before checking or adding fluid to
the hydraulic unit.
• Never extend boom extension
beyond leg extension.
• Do not stand over loaded boom nor
in its intended line of travel.
• Do not use adapters or accessories
that are not provided initially.
• Do not use the device for any
purpose other than that for which it
is intended.

ADVERTENCIA
Be sure all tools and personnel are
clear before lowering load. Dynamic
shock loads are created by quickly
opening and closing the release valve
as the load is being lowered. The re-
sulting overload may cause hydraulic
system failure.
