SETUP INSTRUCTIONS
This is the safety alert symbol used for the SETUP INSTRUCTIONS section of this manual to alert you to potential personal
injury hazards. Obey all instructions to avoid possible injury or death.
Refer to parts breakdown on page 6:
1. Secure the rear caster assemblies(#5) to the base frame (#1) with the bolts and washers provided and in accordance with
the assembly drawing.
2. Loosely assemble the upright mast (#17) to the base frame (#1) in accordance with the assembly drawing and finger tighten
the bolts (#4), washers (#3) and nuts (#2).
3. Loosely assemble the mast braces (#11) to the upright (#17) mast by finger tightening the bolt (#18), washer (#15) and
nut (#16). Loosely assemble the opposite ends of the mast braces (#11) to the base frame (#1) by finger tightening the
bolts (#4), washers (#3) and nuts (#2).
4. Tighten all the hardware mentioned in steps 2 and 3.
5. Install the leg extensions (#9L and #9R) in the base (#1) where the holes in the legs line up with the holes in the base as
shown in the assembly drawing. Secure the legs to the base using the detent pins (#8) and R-clips (#7).
6. According to the assembly drawing, secure the hydraulic ram (#14) in between the mounting brackets on the upright
mast (#17) using the bolt (#12), washer (#15) and nut (#16). Lean the ram up against the mast.
7. Secure the boom (#26) in between the mounting flanges located on top of the upright mast (#17) using the bolt (#30),
washer (#23) and nut (#24).
8. Line up the hole in the hydraulic ram (#14) with the holes in the gussets of the boom (#26) and secure the ram to the
boom with the bolt (#22), washer (#15) and nut (#16). It may be necessary to extend the ram to line up all the holes.
9. Pump the jack so the boom (#26) is horizontal to the ground. According to the assembly drawing, slide the boom extension
(#27) inside the boom (#26) so the hole in the boom aligns with any of the four holes in the boom (#26). Secure the boom and
boom extension together using the detent pin (#25) and R-clip (#7).
10. Slide one of the chain links of the hook (#29) and chain assembly through the slot in the bottom of the boom extension (#27).
Feed the bolt (#28) through the hole on one side of the extension boom, then through the chain link and finally through the
hole in the other side of the extension boom. Secure the bolt (#28) with washer (#3) and nut (#2).
11. Secure the push bar (#19) on the back side of the upright mast (#17) using the screws (#21) and washers (#20).
12. Install the pump handle (#13) in the hydraulic ram pump linkage (#14) when using or in the upright mast holder (#17) for storage.
13. Sometimes air gets trapped in the hydraulic system during shipment. An air bound hydraulic system feels spongy when pumped
and may not allow the jack to pump full incremental strokes.
TO PURGE AIR FROM THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM:
a. Open the release valve by turning the handle in a counterclockwise direction two full turns.
b. Pump the handle ten full strokes.
c. Close the release valve by turning the handle in a clockwise direction until tight.
d. Pump the jack until the ram is extended to maximum height.
e. Repeat steps "a" through "d" until all the air is purged from the system.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
This is the safety alert symbol used for the OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS section of this manual to alert you to potential
personal injury hazards. Obey all instructions to avoid possible injury or death.
1. Before lifting, evaluate the work to be done by:
a. Determining the weight of the load to be lifted and secure the boom extension in the boom in the appropriate hole position.
b. Determine the crane's boom extension in order to ensure there is enough boom lift/travel to accomplish the work.
IMPORTANT:
THE WORKING CAPACITY OF THE CRANE IS DETERMINED BY THE LOCATION OF THE EXTENSION BOOM.
THE CAPACITY OF THE EXTENSION BOOM MUST EXCEED THE WEIGHT TO BE LIFTED.
Secure the boom extension in the boom with the appropriate hardware provided, making sure it can not come loose during use.
c. The crane's hook and chain assembly must be adjusted to the right length and secured to the end of the boom to prevent the
hook from binding with the boom when lifting.
2. Make sure the crane's front wheels extend beyond the extension boom's hook in order to avoid load tipping. Do not lift or move a
load with a center of gravity that extends beyond the sides of the crane and the crane's front wheels.
3. Use balancers, levelers, slings, chains or any combination thereof (which are capable of sustaining the load) around the load before
using the crane's hook to lift the load. Make sure the complete setup is secure before lifting.
