TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM ACCIDENTAL OPERATION:

Cleaning, Maintenance, and Lubrication
1. BEFORE EACH USE, inspect the general
condition of the tool. Check for:
• loose hardware,
• misalignment or binding of moving parts,
• cracked or broken parts,
• proper ram and winch operation,
• frayed, kinked or damaged winch cable, and
• any other condition that may
affect its safe operation.
2. Lubricate the Grease Fitting with a grease
gun once a month, or when the Boom
becomes difficult to swivel on the Post.
3. Clean and lubricate all moving parts of
Winch, including gears, ratchets, shafts
and cable to insure safe operation.
Note: If Crane will be exposed to wet
conditions, more frequent lubrication may
be necessary to prevent buildup of rust.
4. Change the hydraulic fluid at least once every year:
a. Remove Ram from Crane. Lower ram completely.
b. Remove Fluid Fill Plug.
c. Tip Ram to allow old hydraulic fluid
to completely drain out.
d. Dispose of old hydraulic fluid in
accordance with local regulations.
e. With the Ram upright, fill with hydraulic
fluid (sold separately) to full level.
f. Open Valve Release Screw and pump the
Handle to bleed air from the system.
g. Reinstall Fluid Fill Plug.
h. Reinstall Ram to Crane.
5. Top assembly may be removed and stored indoors
in a dry, safe place out of the reach of children.
