Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the jack is in an upright, vertical position.
- Align the clevis base mount with the engine hoist's lower connection point.
- Insert the 0.7-inch pin through the clevis holes and secure it with a safety clip.
- Close the release valve fully before beginning to pump.
Compatibility:
This unit is compatible with most standard residential and commercial cherry pickers and engine cranes that utilize a standard clevis-style hydraulic ram mount. Always verify that your hoist frame can support the 8-ton weight capacity of this ram.
Care:
- Periodically inspect the cylinder for hydraulic fluid leaks.
- Keep the piston rod clean and free of debris to prevent seal damage.
- Store in a dry, covered area to prevent surface rust.
- Occasionally bleed the hydraulic system to remove trapped air for optimal performance.
