2. Pump the handle several times to purge air from the system.
3. Turn the control valve clockwise and test the jack. If efficiency is still low,
check the oil level as described under Maintenance on page 6.
4. The jack is now ready to use.
OPERATION
This jack incorporates a twin piston pump with a ‘quick lift’ facility. This provides
the user with a rapid raising operation for the unloaded jack. When the jack
reaches the vehicle to be raised, its lift per stroke reduces, to provide a
gradual and controllable lifting operation.
Before use, inspect the jack for oil leaks or any other defect. Should any be
apparent, have the jack repaired by a qualified technician.
1. Ensure the vehicle to be raised is stable and on firm level ground with the
wheels chocked. Ensure the vehicle’s handbrake is on, the engine is
switched off and the transmission is in gear or park if automatic.
2. Ensure the vehicle will not come into contact with adjacent objects when
tilted by the jacking operation.
3. Position the jack so that the saddle is directly beneath the lifting point.
• Consult the vehicle handbook to determine suitable lifting points.
4. Ensure the jack wheels are free to move and there are no obstructions.
5. Twist the handle clockwise to close the control valve.
6. Pump the handle to raise the saddle until it reaches the jacking point, or
alternatively, pump the pedal to raise the saddle.
IMPORTANT: The foot pedal is used to quickly bring the saddle to the lifting
point, NOT to raise a load.
7. Make sure that the saddle is in full contact with the lifting point and that
there is nothing that will prevent a clean lift. Keep all personnel at a safe
distance before lifting the vehicle.
8. Position suitably rated axle stands directly beneath suitable supporting
points on the vehicle and very gently twist the handle anti-clockwise to
lower the vehicle.
9. Make sure that the axle stands are in good condition and that they can
support the weight of the vehicle.
WARNING: NEVER WORK ON THE VEHICLE WHEN SUPPORTED ONLY BY A
JACK. THIS IS HIGHLY DANGEROUS. THE VEHICLE MUST BE SUPPORTED ON
AXLE STANDS OR SUITABLE SUPPORTS, BENEATH THE CORRECT JACKING/
SUPPORT POINTS.
