KENNEDY thoroughly recommends reading these instructions before usingthe Folding Mobile Crane, even if you have used one before. Reading theseinstructions carefully and understanding them fully will enable you to perform taskscorrectly and will prevent injury to yourself or someone else as well as preventdamage to the vehicle and equipment.

SAFETY GUIDELINES Before each use, ensure that all nuts and bolts are correctly fitted and are tight. Before use, bleed the hand pump to release any trapped air. DO NOT modify in any way. DO NOT operate the crane if any parts are missing, damaged or faulty. DO NOT operate the crane when you are tired, under the influence of alcohol, drugs

or intoxicating medication. Keep children and unauthorised people away from the work area. Keep the work area clean and tidy. Make sure the legs and jib are locked into position before use. Make sure you are aware of any other people near you when you are using the crane. The crane is a lifting and lowering device only and is not intended for

transporting items around the workshop. The crane is intended for use by qualified mechanics who are familiar with its use. The nuts and bolts used in the construction of this crane are all high strength. They

should not be replaced with any that are inferior. Use on a level and firm surface. Do not use on tarmac or soft surfaces.

ALWAYS make sure the centre of gravity remains inside the crane base. DO NOT allow the load to drop suddenly. Open the valve slowly. DO NOT allow yourself or anyone else to be under the load when it is being lifted. DO NOT work on suspended loads DO NOT leave loads suspended for a period of time Place load onto a suitable & secure work surface as soon as possible DO NOT exceed the cranes rated load capacity. DO NOT harness the load at an angle or allow it to swing when it is lifted. DO NOT overreach. DO NOT climb or stand on the crane. Ensure the surface you are lowering the load onto is level and can withstand the weight. Refill with hydraulic fluid only, making sure no dirt gets into the hydraulic system.

DO NOT use brake fluid. Stay alert at all times.

DO NOT allow the crane to get wet or remain in a damp environment. Store in a secure, dry place, out of reach from children. When not in use, release the pressure from the pump.

HEALTH & SAFETYLifting equipment must be thoroughly inspected by an independent examiner every twelve months. The test

report must be kept in a safe place and produced upon request. It may also be necessary to provide your

insurers with a copy of it.

If a defect is reported, the Folding Mobile Crane must not be used until the fault is rectified.

Repairs must be performed in a dirt-free environment by a qualified person who is familiar with this type

of equipment. All inspections, maintenance and repair procedures must be performed when the folding

mobile crane is free of load (not in use).

CAUSE/SOLUTION

Hydraulic Ram may be low on fluid. With

crane on level surface and fully retracted,

remove the filler plug and add clean

hydraulic fluid to level of filler hole.

Hydraulic Ram may have an air block. Open

the release valve a miniumu of 2 full turns.

Pump the handle at least 20 full srokes to

purge air from the system.

Valves may not be closing completely.

To seat valves;

a) With ram fully retracted, close the

release valve.

b) Raise the jib manually as high as

possible.

c) Open the release valve and allow the jib

to descend and until the ram is fully

retraced once more.

BLEEDING THE SYSTEM

Air can accumulate in the hydraulic system during transit, after

prolonged use or after filling with oil, causing the ram to respond

slowly or in an unstable manner. To remove the air, please follow

these steps.

1. Use the handle to turn the release valve anti-clockwise to

lower the arm to its lowest point (see figs. 15 & 17).

2. Remove the filler plug (see fig. 18).

3. Pump the handle 5 or 6 times to bleed air out of the system.

4. Use the handle to turn the release valve clockwise until tight.

5. Finally, replace the filler plug and test pump the lifting ram. If

it is still slow to respond bleed again.

LUBRICATINGUse light oil on all moving parts.

WHEN NOT IN USEWipe clean with a slightly oiled cloth. Store with the release valve

open.

STORAGETurn the release valve anti-

clockwise to lower the jib to

its lowest position and place

the handle back in its storage

place (fig. 18).

Remove the spring clips and

the locking pins from forward

hole securing the legs whilst

in use (Fig. 19), leaving the

rear pivot bolt in place.

Lift the legs one at a time into

the vertical position (see

Fig.20) and insert the locking

pins and spring clips into the

hole above the pivot hole

securing the legs for storage

(Fig. 21 & 22).

TOOLS NEEDED: 14mm, 22mm, 24mm and 27mm sockets or spanners.

During assembly, only tighten the castors with a socket wrench. Hand tighten all other bolts until

assembly is complete, final step is to tighten the rest of the bolts with a socket wrench. You will find

that some of the parts of the crane are already assembled. Please take care and seek assistance

when required as some of the parts are heavy.

4. Only lift directly above the load and not at

an angle.

5. Slowly turn the release valve anti -

clockwise to lower the arm.

6. The crane is not a transporting device and

may only be used to reposition the load

ready for working on. Lower the load and

jib to the lowest position before moving.

Do not move the load in a sideways

direction. The crane is not designed

to hold the weight for a long period.

7. Lower the load onto a suitable and

secure working base, being fully aware

of its proximity to yourself and other

people around you.

8. When the load has been successfully

lowered and secured, remove the harness

or support beam, retract the jib, open the

valve and position the crane in a safe

location.

Make sure the front legs are locked in the down position with

locking pins in place before applying load and or raising the boom.

Be aware of the load weight. Always position the sliding jib at

the correct location for the load you are lifting; 1/4 ton, 1/2 ton, 3/4 ton or 1 ton.

1. To lift, locate the notches in the handle on the release valve

pegs and turn clockwise to close the valve. (see fig. 15)

2. Place the open end of the handle into the pump socket and

pump the handle up and down to raise the jib (see fig.16).

Pull out the jib extension and select the desired lifting

capacity, making sure that the nut, bolt and washer are

replaced. (see fig. 14 opposite)

3. Connect the load using an appropriate certified sling or

support beam. Ensure you know the weight of the load and

that it is below that of the capacity of the crane at the jib

position you are using. When removing engines, use only

lifting points recommended by the manufacturer.
