LOWERING THE LOAD

WARNING! Ensure the load is central and stable on the jack saddle and that it is fixed securely.
Before you loosen the mounting bolts, wrap the chains over the top of the transmission, and attach them using the Hook Pins before attempting to lift, lower, or transport it. Tighten the chains by tightening the Wing Nuts on the Hook Pins.

1. SLOWLY press the Release Valve Pedal to gently lower saddle as far as possible before attempting to transport the load.
   WARNING! Speed of lowering is controlled by Release Valve Pedal . The further you depress it the more rapid the jack’s descent.

2. Ensure the jack’s descent is slow and controlled to avoid the risk of sudden dropping which would be very dangerous.
