Instructions Before Use - Facom DL.10 Manual De Instrucciones

USER LIABILITY
Before using the crane, read the following instructions and precautions.
The non-application of these precautions may result in damaging the crane, and may even hurt users.
Inform appropriately the workers in charge of using and maintaining the work equipment, and notably on the conditions of use of work equipment, instructions, or guidelines concerning them.
Check the lifting devices:
- Check when initiating a task, upon first use of the device, whether new or second-hand, in the workshop
- Check upon start-up, to be performed upon dismounting and refitting, modification, major repair or accident caused by a device failure.
- General periodical checks, performed on a regular basis, aiming at timely detection of any damage likely to create a hazard.
These checks concern devices powered mechanically as well as devices powered by human force. The result of these checks must be recorded in the safety log opened by the site manager.
When devices are faulty, forbid their use or repair immediately.
For manual handling, provide the staff with the individual protections required: safety shoes, preferably in materials resistant to hydrocarbons, protection gloves, etc.
In mechanical handling, unless during tests or proofing, never lift a load exceeding that specified on the device.
When using a crane, the following must be ensured:
1. the maximum operating load must be mentioned on the crane,
2. each jack must be checked:
- every year in the case of normal use,
- every 6 months in the case of heavy use,
- immediately after use in special conditions, notably after an accidental overload.
Cranes must be used only to lift or move a load.
WARNINGS !
1.
Before lifting a load, ensure it is on a stable, flat, horizontal and clean surface (no grease nor oil) (1)
2.
Check the load to lift is perfectly immobilised (2)
3.
To support the load, use another appropriate means, e.g. a FACOM trolley
4.
To prevent the assembly from slipping, always centre the load on the crane using the FACOM spreader DL.101.
5. .
Never use extensions (4)
6.
Check the oil level regularly (5). Conversely, too much oil can damage or alter the adjustment of the devices (see « instructions before use «).
7.
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 reference
8.
Check the precaution label is legible at all times.When retrofitting your equipment, these labels are available (6) as well as the operating instructions (Q.NU-DL10/04).
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.

INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE

1. Checking the oil level Checking the oil level Checking the oil level Checking the oil level Checking the oil level
Set the crane in the operating position, piston in short position and open the valve. Open the cap. The tank must be filled exactly up to the opening (5). If required, fill the appropriate quantity with
FACOM oil (reference WA.21).
2.
Internal lubrication Internal lubrication Internal lubrication Internal lubrication Internal lubrication
Actuate the lever, with the valve open, several times to ensure perfect lubrication.
3.
Fast bleeding the hydraulic system Fast bleeding the hydraulic system Fast bleeding the hydraulic system Fast bleeding the hydraulic system Fast bleeding the hydraulic system
During the crane's transport, some air can enter the system, reducing its effectiveness. To bleed the hydraulic system, close the valve (7). With the handle, pump up to maximum displacement (8).
Open the valve and push back the piston (9).
INSTRUCTIONS OF USE
1. Lifting the load Lifting the load Lifting the load
Lifting the load Lifting the load
Before lifting a vehicle, check it is fully immobilised on a flat and horizontal surface (1) and (2). The crane must be on a stable surface void of greasy compounds. Close the valve (7) by turning it
clockwise until it is locked (not too tight). Pump (8).
Continue this pumping operation until the position required is reached.
2.
Lowering the load Lowering the load Lowering the load Lowering the load Lowering the load
Turn slowly the valve (9) counter-clockwise and remove the crane. The speed of this action is adjusted according to the rate the valve is turned.
MAINTENANCE
When the crane is no longer used, maintain it in the lower position, with the valve closed. Keep the crane and handles clean. Lubricate moving parts regularly.
Bleed the hydraulic system (§ 3 INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE)
Symptom
The crane cannot lift load or pump feels spongy
The crane lift load, but cannot hold
The crane can not lower completely
The crane cannot reach maximum height
GUARANTEE
Type D = 2 years. See the general conditions in the FACOM F05 catalogue or the FACOM price list.
