   Right, not sure if this is the correct section but it's close enough.
   
   
   I've borrowed one of these engine cranes off a neighbour, I've followed the directions on clarkes website and put the fluid in.
   
   But it just wont work!
   
   Any suggestions?
   
   Thanks.

   Well I pump and it goes up a bit then just lowers gently.
   
   Wouldn't lift a pillow tbh.
