SYSTEM AIR PURGE PROCEDURE IMPORTANT: BEFORE FIRST USE Before initial use and over time it is possible that air will enter the hydraulic system, causing poor lifting performance. Perform the following Air Purge Procedure to remove any air that may have been introduced into the hydraulic system as a result of product shipment and handling. This step is to be completed without any weight on the crane. 1. Turn release valve counterclockwise on full turn to the open position. 2.
4. With a flat blade screwdriver, push the oil fill plug slightly to the side to purge trapped air from system. (Use caution not to tear or puncture the oil plug.) 5. Turn release valve clockwise to the closed position. 6. Crane is now ready for use. Check for proper pump action.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE 1. Before using this product, read the owner's manual completely and familiarize yourself thoroughly with the product and the hazards associated with its improper use. 2. Perform the air purge procedure. (See previous instructions for system purge procedure.) 3. Check and that the pump operates smoothly before putting into service. 4. Inspect before each use. Do not use if bent, broken or cracked components are noted.
HYDRAULIC OPERATION 1. Familiarize yourself with the crane 2. Attach the handle piece, making sure to align with lowering valve, turn CLOCKWISE until tight. 3. Line up the handle to the handle socket located on the side of the long ram, then insert the handle inside the handle socket. 4. Secure the handle in place inside the handle socket. Without any on the crane. Cycle the lift up and down several times to insure the hydraulic system is operating properly.
