The manufacturer is not responsible for injuries and damage resulting from these operating instructions being ignored. Put these instructions on display so they can be read through later and hand them out with the floor jack if you pass it onto other people.
Appropriate use
This floor jack is only designed for lifting and lowering vehicles with a maximum rated load of 3000 kg (3.0 t). The floor jack 10640 complies with EN 1494/A1: 2008. Only for personal use. All other applications are prohibited.
Safety instructions for car jacks
-
Only use the car jack for its intended purpose.
-
Use the car jack exclusively for raising and lowering of vehicles. Never raise people with the car jack!
-
Always be careful and attentive when handling the car jack. When attaching and removing accessories, such as the lifting rod, pay attention to your hands and fingers, as there is a risk of crushing.
-
Before lifting, secure the vehicle to be lifted against accidental rolling away. Apply the parking brake and engage a gear. Lock the wheels that cannot be lifted with suitable wedges.
-
The car jack is only intended for lifting and lowering the vehicle. Secure the lifted vehicle against accidental lowering by using suitable chassis stands.
Do not work under the lifted load if it is not secured by suitable means. -
The manual force to be applied is more than 400N, therefore we ask you to enlist a second person for help.
-
Make sure that the lifted vehicle cannot move on the car jack.
-
Only use the car jack on a firm, level and dry surface. The load can easily slip on unpaved, uneven or damp/wet surfaces.
-
Always support the vehicle in the middle section of the take-up stand.
-
Do not exceed the permissible nominal load! The load on the car jack must not exceed 3.0 tons, as it may be damaged in the event of overloading (e.g. overloading of the mechanical properties) and as a result personal safety will no longer be guaranteed.
-
Ensure that the car jack is centrally located and stable with the load support under the lifting point of the vehicle to be lifted. Only attach the car jack to the lifting points marked by the vehicle manufacturer. Suitable adapters may have to be used in order to avoid damage to the mounting points on the vehicle. For more information, read the operating instructions for your vehicle. Please contact an authorised specialist workshop if you have any doubts concerning the correct mounting points on the vehicle.
-
When lifting and lowering, make sure that there are no pets, persons or body parts in the area of the load arm, cylinder or mechanisms.
-
Never allow persons to be in or under the vehicle to be lifted when using the car jack.
-
Ensure that no persons lean against the lifted vehicle.
-
Do not use the car jack outdoors in frost or rain.
-
Observe the car jack and the vehicle to be lifted while the device is in use.
Do not let the car jack and vehicle out of your sight. -
Before each use, check the car jack for damage, oil leaks, corrosion and missing parts such as rollers or safety pins. Do not use the car jack if it is damaged or parts are missing.
-
Any conversions or modifications which adversely affect the conformity of the car jack with the EN 1494:2000+A1:2008 standard may not be carried out.

The safety valve is correctly set at the factory and does not need to be readjusted.
-
Keep the notices and symbols on the car jack in good condition.
-
Children and persons who are mentally or physically impaired must not handle the device. They cannot correctly assess the hazards posed by the device.
-
Do not use the car jack under the following circumstances:
- under difficult conditions (e.g. very cold or hot climate, influence of strong magnetic radiation) and similar situations.
- in connection with explosive substances, mines etc. and similar situations.
- lifting loads containing materials such as: molten metal, acid, radioactive material, or loose goods that are not connected to each other and similar situations.
- in contact with food and similar situations.
- on ships and similar situations.
-
Only use accessories that have been supplied.
-
Place the car jack in such a way that it only lifts on the areas of the vehicle which will be suitable based on the model.
-
Always support the load with appropriate vehicle supports after lifting the vehicle before working on the vehicle.
-
Do not overload the car jack beyond its nominal capacity. This can damage to the car jack and cause it to malfunction.
-
This car jack is designed for use only on hard, level surfaces capable of carrying the load. Use on other surfaces can lead to instability and possible slippage of the load.
-
Centre the load on the lifting plate before lifting the vehicle. Loads placed off-centre can cause the load to slip or damage the car jack and your vehicle.
-
KEEP YOUR HANDS AND FEET AWAY FROM THE HINGE MECHANISM OF THE CAR JACK AND FROM THE FLOOR CONTACT AREA WHEN LOWERING THE LOAD!
-
THIS CAR JACK IS ONLY DESIGNED TO LIFT ONE PART OF THE VEHICLE. DO NOT MOVE OR MOVE THE VEHICLE WHEN IT HAS BEEN LIFTED WITH THE CAR JACK.
-
Use of the device must be discontinued if a leak appears. It must be ensured that no additional oil emerges and that the oil which has already leaked is collected promptly and disposed of in the appropriate manner.
-
If the car jack no longer lowers as desired, ensure that the vehicle is supported with chassis stands to prevent undesired lowering. Procure an additional car jack with which you can raise the vehicle far enough to remove the defective car jack safely. Seek professional assistance if you are unsure.
Always give the lifted vehicle additional support using chassis stands. Never use the floor jack alone to support the load. Holding the load over long periods can overload the appliance and lead to personal injury and material damage.

Lift the vehicle
-
Make sure that the car jack and the vehicle are on a hard, level surface.
-
Always apply the vehicle’s handbrake and lock the wheels.
-
Refer to the vehicle manual for information to verify the location of the jacking points for attaching the car jack and place the car jack below the prescribed jacking point. To lift vehicles with greater ground clearance, turn the lifting plate upwards until it stops.
-
Turn the drain valve clockwise to the closed position. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN
THE VALVE BEYOND THE CLOSED POSITION. -
To lift the vehicle to the desired height, insert the handle into the pedestal and use the handle to perform upward and downward pumping motions.
-
Insert the chassis stands in the positions under the vehicle recommended by the vehicle manufacturer. Do not go under the vehicle if it is not supported by appropriate chassis stands. Car jacks are not designed to hold heavy loads for long periods of time.
Lowering the vehicle
- Remove the chassis stands. Take care that neither you nor any other person is under the vehicle whilst it is being lowered.
- Turn the release valve anti-clockwise SLOWLY to lower the vehicle onto the floor.
INSPECTION
The product must be maintained according to the product instructions.
No modifications may be made to this product.
- Before use, a visual check must be carried out with regard to any unusual state of the appliance, such as cracked welding seams, damage, bent, worn, loose or missing parts.
- The appliance check must be carried out in accordance with the instructions in this manual.
- The product must be checked straight away if you know that it has been exposed to unusual loads or knocks. The owners and/or operators should be aware that repairing this product requires special equipment and knowledge. (See #4 in the Maintenance section).
MAINTENANCE
The car jack should be serviced and repaired in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Such maintenance and repairs should only be carried out by qualified specialists.
- Lubricate the pressure plunger, joints, plate and pump mechanism with light oils.
- Perform a visual inspection for cracked welds, bent, loose, missing parts or leaks from which hydraulic oil is leaking.
- The product must be inspected immediately if you suspect that it has been subjected to abnormal loads or impacts.
- Any hydraulic car jack on which damage or signs of wear has been determined must no longer be used.
- Clean all surfaces and preserve all labels and warning notices.
- Check and obtain the intended oil level for the pressure plunger.
- Check the pressure plunger approx. every three months for signs of rust or corrosion. Clean and wipe with an oily cloth if necessary. When the device is not in use, it should always be stored with the saddle and pressure plunger lowered.
Always store your floor jack in a fully lowered state. In doing so you will help to protect all the critical areas against corrosion. Do not use any brake or gearbox fluids or regular engine oil, as the seals could be damaged by this. Always buy and use products which are labelled as hydraulic oil for floor jacks.
- We recommend carrying out maintenance work on a surface that is impervious to oil. Make sure that no oil is spilled. If any oil is accidentally spilled, it must be collected immediately and disposed of safely in the appropriate facilities.
- Remove the inspection plate.
- Remove the sealing cap from the oil filler nozzle whilst the floor jack is in the lowered position. Bring the floor jack into a vertical position with the handle socket pointing downwards. The oil should be on a level with the bottom of the oil filler opening. Pour not too much oil into the oil tank. Always top up the oil with new, clean hydraulic oil for the floor jack.
- Put back the sealing cap on the oil filler nozzle and the inspection plate.
- Check that the floor jack is working.
- Vent the hydraulic system if necessary.
VENTING THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
- Turn the release valve anti-clockwise one full turn in order to open it.
- Pump eight full strokes with the handle.
- Turn the release valve clockwise to close the valve.
- Pump with the handle until the thrust plate reaches the maximum height and continue with several pumping movements to release the air trapped in the thrust plate.
- Press the sealing cap on the oil filler nozzle together carefully and slowly to let out the trapped air.
- Turn the release valve anti-clockwise one full turn and lower the thrust plate into its lowest position. Use the necessary force.
- Turn the release valve clockwise into the closed position and check the pump action is working properly. It may be necessary to repeat the above steps several times in order to completely remove the trapped air.
