The 5000 crane comes with an optional pre-plumbed eighteen (18) gallon reservoir. The
s
reservoir
assembly comes with a suction screen, return line filter, relief valve, filler, sight gauge, strainer, tank cap and
breather. The mounting of the reservoir is an integral part of tank design and will bolt directly into brackets
that are preinstalled in the
s
crane body in the compartment under the crane-mounting surface (RH
rear compartment). Prior to mounting the tank, a three-inch (3”) diameter access hole must be added to the
back of the compartment for routing suction and pressure lines along with the power wire. An optional
between-the-frame tank is also available
6.
Run the power lead to the front of the truck. Locate the lead so that it will be protected. Install cable clamps
to hold the wire securely in place.
7.
Connect the power wire to the positive terminal on the vehicle battery. A 15-amp in-line fuse must be
installed near the battery to protect harness from electrical shorts.
8.
Reconnect the negative battery cable. The 5000 crane is self-grounding and does not require an additional
ground cable.

A throttle advance should also be used to keep the engine RPM’s high enough to produce the required flow
and pressure. There are many types available depending on your preference. The simplest type is a vernier
control cable that must be set with each use. There are other types available that will advance throttle on
demand and return idle to normal automatically. These are available in both hydraulic activated and
electronically activated.

Connect the hydraulic lines as shown in figure shown on the next page.

IF THE POWER WIRE IS ROUTED SO THAT IT PASSES THROUGH ANY BODY OR CHASSIS SHEET METAL, A
GROMMET MUST BE USED TO PROTECT WIRES FROM BEING CUT. IF THE POWER WIRE COMES INTO CONTACT
WITH A GROUNDED SURFACE, A DEAD SHORT WILL OCCUR POSSIBLY CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE CRANE,
VEHICLE BATTERY OR ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.
