FINISHING OFF
Ensure the ram’s pressure release valve is closed
(turn fully
clockwise).
The force exerted by the hydraulic ram
(up to a maximum
of 1,500kg)
creates a potentially dangerous situation,
so
make sure that any seal has been broken before lifting.
If great force is used, the assembly and manhole cover
will spring up.
NEVER place yourself in a position where you could be hit
by the equipment or cover as the cover lifts.
Using the pump handle, gradually pump the ram until
the manhole cover lifts.
Take your time and don’t overdo it.
You are more likely to
have an accident if you are tired or rushing.
Once raised, manoeuvre the unit away from the manhole
and lower the ram,
by turning the pressure release valve 1 turn
anti-clockwise.
When replacing the cover, simply reverse the removal
procedure.
EQUIPMENT CARE
Never push the equipment beyond its design limits.
If it will not do what you want with reasonable ease and
speed, assume you have the wrong tool for the job.
Contact your local HSS Lift & Shift Depot for advice.
Keep the equipment clean,
you will find this less of a
chore if you clean it regularly, rather than wait until the end
of the hire period.
When not in use
, store the equipment somewhere
clean, dry and safe
from thieves and unauthorised users.
Replace the manhole cover and disconnect all keys
and clamp frames.
Dismantle the unit and give everything a thorough
clean ready for return
to your local HSS Lift and Shift.
