Preventative Maintenance; Troubleshooting - Arcan AR2TEC Manual De Instrucciones

5. Immediately upon removal of the engine from the engine compartment or load from its position, the engine or load must be as close to the
ground as possible when transporting. Lower the load to the proper transport height by slowly and carefully turning the hydraulic ram's
release valve in a counter clockwise direction. When approaching the transport height, start turning the crane's release valve in a
clockwise direction until tight. This same procedure of lowering the load is also used for moving a load to its final or temporary resting
place or location.

PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE

This is the safety alert symbol used for the PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE section of this manual to alert you to potential personal
injury hazards. Obey all instructions to avoid possible injury or death.
1. Always store the crane in a well protected area where it will not be exposed to inclement weather, corrosive vapors, abrasive dust,
or any other harmful elements. The jack must be cleaned of water, snow, sand or grit before using.
2. Lubricate the wheels, casters, and all pivot points on the crane according to an acceptable shop maintenance schedule.
Maintenance intervals are dependant on time and usage.
3. Every crane owner is responsible for keeping the crane labels clean and readable. Use a mild soap solution to wash external
surfaces of the crane but not any moving hydraulic components. Contact Sunex for a replacement label if your crane's label is not
readable.
4. Inspect the crane before each use. Do not use the crane if any component is cracked, broken or bent. Do not use the crane if it
has loose or missing hardware or components, or is modified in any way. Take corrective action before using the crane again.
5. It should not be necessary to refill or top off the crane's jack reservoir with hydraulic fluid unless there is an external leak. An
external leak requires immediate repair which must be performed in a dirt-free environment by qualified hydraulic repair
personnel who are familiar with this equipment. Authorized service centers are recommended. IMPORTANT: In order to prevent seal
damage and jack failure, never use alcohol, hydraulic brake fluid, or transmission oil in the crane's jack. Use jack oil, Chevron
Hydraulic oil AW IS032, or Unocal Unax AW150.
