Repairs must be performed in a dirt-free environment by a qualified person who is familiar with this type
of equipment. All inspections, maintenance and repair procedures must be performed when the folding
mobile crane is free of load (not in use).
CAUSE/SOLUTION
Hydraulic Ram may be low on fluid. With
crane on level surface and fully retracted,
remove the filler plug and add clean
hydraulic fluid to level of filler hole.
Hydraulic Ram may have an air block. Open
the release valve a miniumu of 2 full turns.
Pump the handle at least 20 full srokes to
purge air from the system.
Valves may not be closing completely.
To seat valves;
a) With ram fully retracted, close the
release valve.
b) Raise the jib manually as high as
possible.
c) Open the release valve and allow the jib
to descend and until the ram is fully
retraced once more.

BLEEDING THE SYSTEM
Air can accumulate in the hydraulic system during transit, after
prolonged use or after filling with oil, causing the ram to respond
slowly or in an unstable manner. To remove the air, please follow
these steps.
1. Use the handle to turn the release valve anti-clockwise to
lower the arm to its lowest point (see figs. 15 & 17).
2. Remove the filler plug (see fig. 18).
3. Pump the handle 5 or 6 times to bleed air out of the system.
4. Use the handle to turn the release valve clockwise until tight.
5. Finally, replace the filler plug and test pump the lifting ram. If
it is still slow to respond bleed again.
LUBRICATING
Use light oil on all moving parts.
WHEN NOT IN USE
Wipe clean with a slightly oiled cloth. Store with the release valve
open.
STORAGE
Turn the release valve anti-
clockwise to lower the jib to
its lowest position and place
the handle back in its storage
place (fig. 18).
Remove the spring clips and
the locking pins from forward
hole securing the legs whilst
in use (Fig. 19), leaving the
rear pivot bolt in place.
Lift the legs one at a time into
the vertical position (see
Fig.20) and insert the locking
pins and spring clips into the
hole above the pivot hole
securing the legs for storage
(Fig. 21 & 22).
TOOLS NEEDED: 14mm, 22mm, 24mm and 27mm sockets or spanners.
During assembly, only tighten the castors with a socket wrench. Hand tighten all other bolts until
assembly is complete, final step is to tighten the rest of the bolts with a socket wrench. You will find
that some of the parts of the crane are already assembled. Please take care and seek assistance
when required as some of the parts are heavy.
