10. Before lifting a load, ensure it is on a stable, flat, horizontal and clean surface (no grease nor oil) (2).
11. Check the load to lift is perfectly immobilised (3).
12. To support the load, use another appropriate means.
13. To prevent the assembly from slipping, always centre the load on the crane (6).
14. Never use extensions (5).
15. Check the oil level regularly (7). Conversely, too much oil can damage or alter the adjustment of the devices (see « instructions before use «).
16. When changing the oil, never use brake fluid, alcohol, glycerine, detergents, motor oil or used oil. Using dirty oil can cause major internal damage to
your equipment. For more information, contact your FACOM distributor directly. FACOM recommends using the oil type
17. Check the precaution label is legible at all times. When retrofitting your equipment, the operating instructions (Q.NU-DL.1GP_0716) is available.
Failure to heed these markings may result in personal injury and/or property damage.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR PERFECT USE
1. Before each use, check the crane. You must particularly check for oil leaks, damaged or missing parts.
2. Faulty parts must be replaced by skilled staff with FACOM original parts.
3. Each part in the crane must be checked in case of load considered abnormal or following a shock.
ASSEMBLY
1. Fasten the 2 rear wheels onto the base using the nuts, washers, spacers and brackets. (A)
2. Fasten the 2 feet to the base using the safety pin (item 12) and the nuts, washers as shown in the drawing. (B)
3. Fasten the column (item 23) onto the base assembly using the two M12x25 short screws (items 44 & 2) and the two M12x110 long screws
(items 21 & 2). (C)
4. Fit the jack on the axis. Do not forget the centering spacers (item 34). Secure the arm (item 27) onto the column (item 23) using the screws, nuts
(items 25 & 26). Ask a second person for help during the fastening operation.
With the arm in the high position, fasten the upper part of the jack (item 35) using the nuts, screws and centering spacers (item 45, 34 & 46). (D)
5. Slide the boom (item 30) onto the arm (item (27) and lock it using the axis (item 36) or pins (item 37). (D)

USE AND OPERATION

1. Prior to using the crane, the hydraulic circuit needs to be drained in order to eliminate any air from the valve system of the hydraulic unit. From behind
the crane, turn the group handle 90º while pumping the hydraulic unit several times. By releasing the handle, the crane is ready for use. Turn the
hydraulic unit to activate the pump from the most comfortable work position.
2. To lift the load, activate the lever which enables you to choose a comfortable position due to the fact it is revolving. If lifting an engine, secure it at the
points recommended by the manufacturer.
3. To lower the load, turn the handle. This system enables the lowering to be regulated and controlled manually and precisely.
The crane will stop the lowering process when the handle is not activated.
4. Following use of the crane, the piston of the hydraulic unit should be fully retracted. First move the slide to its initial position.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT: It is possible that air has got into the hydraulic system, causing poor lifting performance. Purge any air from the system by fully opening
release valve (turn handle counterclockwise as shown), then while holding the boom down, operate pump handle rapidly several times.
1. To raise the Extension Boom, close the Release Valve on the Hydraulic Ram. Then, pump the Handle until the Extension Boom reaches the desired
height.
2. To extend the length of the Extension Boom, remove the axle. Pull out on the Extension Boom until the desired extension hole in the Boom aligns
with the hole in the Extension Boom. Then re-insert the axle through the holes in the Boom and Extension Boom, and lock the axle in place
with the locking pin.
WARNING! Do not exceed the maximum lifting capacities of this tool. Exceeding the maximum lifting capacities could cause personal injury and/or
3.
property damage. The longer the Extension Boom is extended, the lower the lifting capacity of this Foldable Shop Crane.
4. Position the Foldable Shop Crane so that the Hook is directly above the object you wish to lift.
5. WARNING! Stay clear of the Foldable Shop Crane. Never go under an object being lifted by the Crane. It is possible for the Hook to
slip, causing an object to fall, possibly resulting in serious injury and/or property damage. Always monitor the object being lifted so it does not rock
back and forth.
6. Open the Release Valve slightly to lower the Hook. Attach the Hook to the object you are lifting, and make sure the Safety Latch on the Hook is
fully closed. Then close the Release Valve, and pump the Handle to raise the object. Carefully move the Foldable Shop Crane to the location where
you wish to lower the object, i.e., an engine stand, proper support, floor surface, etc. Then lower the object by opening the Release Valve slightly.
7. Once the object is fully lowered, disconnect the Hook from the object. Then store the Foldable Shop Crane (unfolded or folded) in a clean, dry, safe
location out of reach of children and other unauthorized people.
NOTE: Before raising the legs to the storage position, bolt and nut must be inserted into the base support and tightened each time. If this procedure is
not followed the unit may fall over.
