SAFETY
Use jack only in accordance with this instruction manual.

NOT modify the jack.
The use of non-genuine parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the

Locate the jack in a suitable, well lit working area.
Keep working area clean and tidy and free from unrelated materials. Use jack
on level and solid ground, preferably concrete. Avoid tarmacadam as jack may
sink in.
Chock wheels of vehicle.
Ensure the vehicle handbrake is engaged, engine is switched off and
transmission is in gear (or “PARK” if automatic).
Ensure minimum distance of 0.5m between vehicle and static objects such as
doors, walls, etc. to allow for vehicle tilting.
Ensure all non-essential persons keep a safe distance whilst the jack is in
use.
Ensure there are no passengers in the vehicle.
The operator of the jack must watch the jack and the load during all
movements.
Place jack under only those lifting points recommended by vehicle manufacturer
(see vehicle handbook).
Check that the lifting point is stable and centred on the jack saddle.
Ensure the jack wheels are free to move and that there are no obstructions.
▲ DANGER: Use the jack for lifting only, NOT for supporting the lifted load.
Ensure there are no persons or obstructions beneath the vehicle before
lowering.
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.
DO NOT allow untrained persons to operate the jack.
DO NOT operate the jack when tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
intoxicating medication.
DO NOT exceed the rated capacity of the jack.

other dangerous substances.
DO NOT work under the vehicle until appropriately rated axle stands have been
correctly positioned.
DO NOT use the jack for purposes other than that for which it is intended.

When lifting a load at the jack’s max. rating, or close to it, it is
recommended that the effort of raising the load shall be reduced by the use of
assistance during this operation.
INTRODUCTION
Versatile lifting range, low entry minimum saddle height 100mm, maximum saddle height 535mm. Twin piston rocket lift, brings the lifting arm straight into contact with the jacking point with minimal pumps. Heavy-duty castors and extra large saddle design, allows ease of positioning under the vehicle protective jack handle sleeve to help prevent accidental damage to car bodywork when pumping the handle. Heavy-duty chassis, with strengthening flanges along the side, for extra torsional rigidity under load. Fitted with safety overload and pump-through valve, preventing the handle locking at maximum ram extension.
