ASSEMBLY, OPERATION, PREVENTITIVE MAINTENANCE
1. FEATURES
Tested to Australian Standard AS1418.8, this Tradequip hydraulic engine crane has a 8
tonne long stroke lifting ram and double acting pump with a maximum safe working load
capacity of 1000kg. It is designed to quickly fold up to save space in the workshop. It is
very simple to use with a single acting hydraulic pump equipped and an automatic safety
valve to control the lowering speed.
The jib extends to required lifting capacities of 250kg, 500kg, 750kg or 1000kg secured by
a single locking pin. Mounted on 6 swivel castor wheels for excellent manoeuvrability
around the workshop, the lifting range is 0-2300mm so an engine can be lifted clear out
of the engine bay with little effort. With great stability of its wide legs, this crane can also
be used to lift machines or other heavy items, making for an excellent piece of equipment
for the workshop or warehouse.
2. ASSEMBLY
Ensure assembly is done on a flat, level surface to prevent misalignment.

3. BEFORE USE
Prior to each use conduct a visual inspection by checking for abnormal conditions, such as
cracked joints and damaged, loose, or missing parts.
• During transport it is possible that air has become trapped in the hydraulic
system, causing poor lifting performance. Purge any air from the system by
fully opening the release valve (turn handle counter clock-wise as shown), then
while holding the boom down, operate pump handle rapidly several times.
• Ensure all nuts and bolts are correctly fitted and tight.
4. OPERATION
To Raise: Close the release valve by turning the handle clock-wise to a secure
position. Do not over tighten.
To Lower: Open the release valve by turning the handle counter clock-wise very
slowly. The speed of lowering the load is controlled by how much you turn
the handle.
To Add Oil: Only use high quality Hydraulic Oil. Do not use brake fluid, alcohol,
glycerine, detergent motor oil. When adding oil ensure dirt or foreign
matter does not enter the system.
NOTE: ONLY USE GOOD QUALITY HYDRAULIC JACK OIL.
