NOTE: The jack may move slightly as the load is raised. It is important
therefore, that the floor is clean and completely free from debris.
2. Position the jack so that the
saddle is directly beneath the
lifting point.
• Consult the vehicle handbook
to determine the lifting points.
3. Place the operating lever over the
release valve and turn it fully
clockwise to close the valve.
4. Place the operating lever in the
jacking port and pump the
operating lever so that the saddle rises to the lifting point.
Check that there are no obstacles to prevent a clean lift, also, make sure that
all personnel are well away from the area, before raising the vehicle.
5. Pump the handle to raise the vehicle to the required level.
• If, at any time, the jack feels spongy, follow the bleeding procedure
under Maintenance.
6. Position the axle stands directly beneath the supporting points on the
vehicle and perfectly stable before full weight is taken. Place the
operating lever over the release valve and very gently twist the operating
lever anti-clockwise to lower the load onto the stands.
7. Check constantly, preferably with an assistant, that the vehicle is resting
correctly on the axle stands and that the stands are stable before the
weight is taken.
8. To stop it lowering at any point, turn the operating lever clockwise again.
Always avoid a rapid descent by turning the operating lever slowly.
NOTE: Ensure this is carried out under complete control. DO NOT allow
the load to drop suddenly as this could damage internal parts.
9. Completely remove the jack from the vehicle.
