Setup, Compatibility & Care
Proper setup is vital for safety. Ensure all bolts are fully tightened before the first use and check that the hydraulic cylinder is free of air bubbles by priming the pump.
Compatibility: This crane is compatible with most passenger and light commercial vehicle engines. Always verify the weight of the engine or machinery against the crane’s current jib setting before attempting a lift.
Maintenance:
- Periodically inspect the hydraulic hoses and seals for leaks.
- Keep the wheel axles clean and lubricated to ensure smooth movement.
- Regularly check the powder-coated frame for chips; touch up any exposed metal with rust-preventative paint to maintain the integrity of the finish.
- Always store the unit in its folded position in a dry, covered area to protect the hydraulics from moisture.
