OPERATION
To raise load
- Following all safety precautions, place the foot of the jack beneath the load. Lift the Reversing Latch (20) to its “UP” position and ensure it is locked in place, with the indentation in the Latch, firmly engaged in the notch on the Reversing Switch (18)-refer to fig. 1. Jack up the nose until it comes into contact with the load at the desired point of lift. Pause at this stage and check to ensure there are no obstacles to a clean lift.
- Pull down firmly and evenly on the handle and observe the load rising. As the handle is pulled down, you will hear the climbing pin (15) click into place as it locates in a hole in the steel bar (3). Actuate handle up and down until desired lift height is achieved.
NOTICE: Do not use extensions on the handle. Always keep a firm hold on
the handle.
WARNING
- Be sure base of jack is on firm and level ground.
- Be sure jack will not slip after load is applied.
- Be sure lifting arm is fully under load is applied.
- Be sure the load is stabilized before lifting so that it will not shift when lifting or lowering.
- Do not work under load after lifting unless you have a proper safety device supporting the load.
- Do not push load off the jack; lower it carefully.
- Do not use handle extensions.
- Do not carry jack by handle.
To lower load
IMPORTANT:
The jack must be loaded with a minimum 50kg (110lbs) to lower step by step,
otherwise the lifting nose will drop.
Taking all necessary precautions, take the load with the jack, (i.e. jack the load up slightly), and ensuring the handle is in the fully upright position, trip the reversing latch (20), so that it is in the fully down position, i.e. the indention on the latch becomes disengaged from the notch on the reversing switch (see fig. 2). Keeping a firm grip on the handle, pump it as you would for raising a load.
