Operating Instructions
1. From storage mode, Wind the jack handle of the bearer beam anti clockwise (Figure 1). Pull the handle section back and lower it to the floor (Figure 2). Remove the bearer beam and place it over the lid.
2. The lifting keys should then be guided through the centre of the bearer beam and located into the lid below. To secure, the keys should be rotated 90° and the locking nuts wound down tightly onto the bearer beam.
3. The locating pin in the lower section should now be removed and the handle section guided through the gap in the lower section and locked into position by replacing the locating pin (Figure 3)
4. The device can now be maneuverd into position, the front section should be located under the handle of the bearer beam (Figure 4).
5. The lid is now ready to be removed. To operate, the arms of the lifting device should be forced down and the lid gently lifted out (Figure 5). If this operation is met with resistance, you can wind the bearer Beam jacks down, this will help release the lid (You may have to tap the lid with a mallet).
6. Once the lid has adequate clearance, the entire assembly can be wheeled backwards so that the removed lid can be safely stored on adjacent ground.
NOTE: the device should be removed from the bearer beam before the lifting keys are removed.
7. To return the lid, the device should be lined up and simply wheeled forward until the lid is above the correct position and then lowered gently by allowing the arms to lift.
