Product Usage Instructions
- Before using the jack, ensure that it is in sound condition and good working order. Take immediate action to repair or replace damaged parts using genuine parts only. The use of improper parts can be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
- Locate the jack in a suitable, well-lit working area that is clean and tidy, and free from unrelated materials.
- Ensure that the ground surface is level, solid and preferably concrete. Avoid using tarmacadam as the jack may sink in. Chock the wheels of the vehicle.
- The vehicle’s handbrake should be engaged, engine switched off, and transmission in gear (or PARK if automatic).
- Ensure that there is a minimum distance of 0.5m between the vehicle and static objects such as doors, walls, etc., allowing for vehicle tilting.

- Check that the lifting point is stable and centered on the jack saddle.
- Ensure that the jack wheels are free to move, and there are no obstructions.
- Use the jack for lifting only, NOT for supporting the lifted load. Use suitable axle stands under the vehicle before proceeding with any task.
- Use a qualified person to lubricate and maintain the jack. Ensure that only hydraulic jack oil is used in the jack.
- Do not operate the jack if damaged, or allow untrained persons to operate the jack, or exceed the rated capacity of the jack.
- Do not allow the vehicle to move during lifting or lowering, or use the jack to move the vehicle.
- Do not jack the vehicle if there is a risk of spillage of fuel, battery acid, or other dangerous substances.
- Do not work under the vehicle until appropriately rated axle stands have been correctly positioned. Do not adjust the safety overload valve.

RAISING A VEHICLE
We recommend that efforts of raising the load shall be reduced by the use of assistance during this operation. -
Ensure that the jack and the vehicle are on a hard, level surface.
-
Always ensure that the vehicle handbrake is engaged and that the vehicle wheels are chocked.
-
Consult the vehicle manual to determine the location of jacking points.
-
Position the jack under a suitable lifting point.
-
Turn the slow release valve clockwise, to the closed position (fig.3). DO NOT over-tighten.
-
Raise the vehicle to the desired height by pumping the handle up and down.
-
Place axle stands beneath the locations recommended by the vehicle manufacturer.
-
Turn the release valve slowly counter-clockwise to lower the vehicle on to the axle stands.
-

MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT: Only fully qualified personnel should attempt maintenance or repair.
-
MONTHLY MAINTENANCE
Lubrication is critical to jacks. Any restriction due to dirt or rust can cause either slow or extremely rapid jack movement, causing damage to the internal components. -
Lubricate the ram, all of the pivot points, the linkages and the saddle and pump mechanism with light oil.
-
Grease the wheel bearings and axles.
-
Keep all jack surfaces and warning labels clean.
-
Check and maintain the ram oil level (Section 7.3).
-
THREE MONTHLY MAINTENANCE
-
At three monthly intervals, check the ram for any signs of rust or corrosion. Clean the ram as required and wipe with an oiled cloth.
-
CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL
-
Fully retract the ram by turning the release valve counterclockwise.
-
With the jack in the level position, remove the oil filler plug (fig.4).
-
The oil should be level with the bottom of the oil filler hole. If it is not, top up with clean hydraulic jack oil.
-
Replace the oil filler plug and check the jack operation.
-
Purge air from the hydraulic unit as required. Refer to Section 5.
NOTE: Always store the jack in the fully lowered position. This will protect critical areas from excessive corrosion.
