VERY IMPORTANT:
Read these safety instructions carefully in addition to the instructions for use, operation and maintenance. Keep them in a safe
place for later consultation. This crane has been designed for use as a hoist with extensive use in industry and garages, particularly
in the handling of engines. Any other application beyond the conditions established for use of this crane will be considered
inappropriate. Handle the crane correctly and ensure that all parts and components are in good condition and that no parts are
missing. Take special care with the elevation accessories used with the crane, such as slings, supports, compensators etc. The crane
should only be used by authorised persons, having read carefully and understood the contents of this manual. Do not modify the
crane in any way. Non-compliance with these instructions may result in injury or damage to the user, the crane or the load to be
lifted. The manufacturer accepts no responsibility for the improper use of the crane.
1.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1.1. The load to be lifted should never exceed the rated capacity of the crane in each of the positions of the hoisting arm.
1.2. Ensure the element to be lifted against any type of slipping. Do not apply any lateral pressure to the elevated or suspended
load.
1.3. The crane should be supported on a solid, level and horizontal, non-slip surface. It should be well illuminated and free of
unnecessary obstacles.
1.4. The capacity of the crane is reduced as the arm is extended. For this, make sure that the load capacity is never exceeded in
each of the positions of the slide, as indicated on the adhesive label.
1.5. Both children and unauthorised persons should be kept away from the work area. During the work, ensure that there is
nobody in its path.
1.6. Prior to proceeding to work with the crane, make sure that the slide is perfectly fitted to the limiting axle (Fig. T). The crane
arm should be located in the nearest possible position to the load to be elevated. Make sure that there are no elements in the
vicinity which hinder the elevation of the load or obstacles which prevent its lowering. When securing the load to the hook, always
use appropriate elevation elements with a capacity superior to that of the load to be elevated. Check that the safety trigger
functions correctly.
1.7. To lift the load in a stable and balanced way, suspend it from the hook and bear in mind that its centre of gravity should
always be within the crane support base (Fig. V).
1.8. Never allow the load to sway or lower it brusquely as this may prove to be dangerous.
1.9. Do not place any part of the body under the elevated load (Fig. X), and do not climb on top of the crane.
1.10. The crane is not a transportation element but in the event that it is necessary to move the load a short distance, position the
arm of the crane in the lowest possible position. Once the movement has been completed, place the load on the ground. The
crane is not a device to maintain the load elevated for an unlimited period of time.
1.11. As a safety measure against overload, the crane is fitted with an overload valve, set at its maximum working pressure at the
factory. This valves hould not be tampered with under any circumstances.

ASSEMBLY AND OPERATION
As we are handling heavy elements, it is essential to carry out the following assembly processes with the help of other
people.
2.1. Fit wheels on the base (A/ Page 2).
2.2. Non-foldable cranes are assembled by positioning the column (B/ Page 2) on the legs (A/ Page 2), securing it with the screws
provided. Beforehand, wedge the wheels to avoid the movement of the crane. The arm (C/ Page 2) is then assembled with its
slide (D/ Page 2) to the column and finally to the hydraulic unit (E/ Page 2) on a support located on the column. The operation is
completed with the securing of the central piston to the arm (C/ Page 2) using a rivet and two elastic rings.
2.3. Before using the crane, it is necessary to purge air from the valve system of the hydraulic unit by turning the release valve
(6/ Page 3) anti-clockwise and,whilst held in this position, pumping the crane several times. Close the release valve (6/ Page 3)
clockwise until is fully closed. The crane is now ready to be used.
2.4. To lift the load, activate the lever (1/ Page 3). If lifting an engine, secure it at the points recommended by the manufacturer.
2.5. If it is necessary to use the crane in other positions, the slide should be perfectly fitted to the limiting axle.
2.6. To lower the load, turn the release valve (6/ Page 3) very slowly anti-clockwise. Our cranes are fitted with a safety device that
only permits the load to be lowered smoothly by automatically controlling the speed at a rate dependant upon the size of the load
( L.C.S.).
2.7. Following use of the crane, the piston of the hydraulic unit should be fully retracted. First move the slide to its initial position.
3.
MAINTENANCE
Important. Both the maintenance and repair of this crane may only be carried out by qualified and authorized personnel, who as a
result of their training and experience are familiar with the hydraulic systems used in these devices.
3.1. Clean and lubricate the axles of the moving parts of the crane at regular intervals. The crane should be kept clean and
protected from aggressive conditions at all times.
3.2. Only original spare parts should be used.
3.3. Withdraw the crane from service if it is suspected that it has been subjected to abnormal loads or has suffered any type of
knock until the problem has been resolved.
3.4. If the oil level needs to be checked or refilled, dismantle the hydraulic unit and with the piston fully retracted, remove the filler
plug and drain its contents into a container. With the hydraulic in a horizontal position, proceed to introduce the necessary volume
for each model as indicated in these instructions. Avoid the entrance of any dirt with the new oil.
Important. An excess of oil over the volume required may affect the operation of the crane.
3.5. Only use hydraulic oil, HL or HM type, with an ISO grade of cinematic viscosity of 30cSt at 40ºC or of an Engler viscosity of 3
at 50ºC.
Extremely important: Never use brake fluid.
