OPERATION
Before use, visually inspect the jack for oil leaks or any other sign of damage.
Should any be apparent, have the jack inspected and repaired by a
qualified technician before use.
WARNING! NEVER WORK ON THE VEHICLE WHEN SUPPORTED ONLY BY A
JACK. THIS IS A HIGHLY DANGEROUS PRACTICE. THE VEHICLE MUST BE
SUPPORTED ON AXLE STANDS, OR SUITABLE SUPPORTS, BENEATH THE
JACKING/SUPPORT POINTS RECOMMENDED BY THE VEHICLE
MANUFACTURER. THERE SHOULD BE NO LOAD ON THE JACK.
1. Ensure the vehicle to be raised is chocked, stable & on firm level ground
with the supporting wheels adequately chocked.
2. Position the jack so that the saddle is directly beneath the lifting point.
• Consult the vehicle handbook to determine suitable lifting points.
3. Place the handle over the control valve & turn clockwise to shut the valve
4. Insert the handle into the handle
sleeve and pump the handle to
raise the saddle until it reaches
the vehicle lifting point.
5. Take care that there are no
obstructions to prevent a clean
lift. Keep all personnel at a safe
distance before pumping the
handle to raise the vehicle.
NOTE: The jack may move slightly
during operation. It is important therefore, that the floor is clean
and completely free from debris.
6. Position axle stands directly beneath suitable supporting points below the
vehicle, before engaging the handle with the control valve and very
gently twisting the handle anticlockwise.
• This will open the control valve to lower the load onto the stands.
7. To stop it lowering, turn the handle clockwise again. Always avoid a rapid
descent by turning the handle slowly.
8. Carefully lower the vehicle onto the axle stand, checking constantly,
preferably with an assistant, that the vehicles supporting point rests snugly
and cleanly on the stand, and that the supporting stand is stable before
all the weight is taken.
NOTE: Ensure this operation is carried out under complete control. DO NOT
allow the load to drop suddenly as this could damage internal parts.
9. Completely remove the jack from the vehicle.
