Maintenance and Servicing
Procedures not specifically explained in this manual must
be performed only by a qualified technician.
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM ACCIDENTAL OPERATION:
Do not use damaged equipment. If abnormal noise or vibration
occurs, have the problem corrected before further use.
Cleaning, Maintenance, and Lubrication
1. BEFORE EACH USE, inspect the general
condition of the tool. Check for:
loose hardware,
misalignment or binding of moving parts,
cracked or broken parts, and
any other condition that may
affect its safe operation.
2. Before each use, thoroughly test the Ram(25)
for proper operation prior to its actual use.
If the Ram(25) appears to not be working
properly, follow Bleeding instructions on page 8.
3. Change the hydraulic oil at least
once every three years:
a. With the Ram(25) fully lowered, remove the
Oil Plug(26A) on the side of the Oil Tank(25A).
b. Tip the Ram(25) to allow the old hydraulic oil
to drain out of the Oil Tank(25A) completely,
and dispose of the old hydraulic oil in
accordance with local regulations.
c. With the Ram(25) upright, completely
fill the Oil Tank(25A) with a high quality
hydraulic oil (not included) until the oil just
begins to run out of the Oil Fill Hole.
d. Open the Release Valve(7A) and pump the
Ram Handle(27) to bleed air from the system.
e. Reinstall the Oil Plug(26A).
4. Wipe dry with a clean cloth. Then, store the
Shop Crane in a safe, dry location out of reach
of children and other non-authorized people.
Bleeding Instructions
IMPORTANT! Before first use, check for proper
hydraulic oil level and thoroughly test the equipment.
If it does not work properly, bleed excess air
from its hydraulic system as follows:
1. Open the Release Valve(7A) and lower the
Ram(25) completely. See Figure I.
2. Remove Oil Plug(26A) and fill with hydraulic oil
(sold separately) to full level. See Figure I.
3. Apply downward pressure to the Boom(23)
and Pump the Ram Handle(27) quickly
several times. See Figure I.
4. Check the Oil Fill Hole and, if necessary, top off
the Oil Fill Hole with hydraulic oil. See Figure I.
5. Replace the Oil Plug(26A) and close the
Release Valve(7A). See Figure I.

bleeding, the equipment still does not appear to be
working properly, do not use the equipment until it
has been repaired by a qualified service technician.
