25. The maximum manual forces required for operating the hydropneumatic trolley jack (unloaded and loaded with the nominal load respectively) do not
exceed the following values:
To start moving an unloaded movable or mobile hydropneumatic trolley jack : 300 N
To maintain the movement of the unloaded hydropneumatic trolley jack : 200 N
To start moving a loaded mobile hydropneumatic trolley jack : 400 N
To maintain the movement of the loaded hydropneumatic trolley jack : 300 N
To lift the loaded hydropneumatic trolley jack using the lever of a hand pump: 400 N
To lift the loaded hydropneumatic trolley jack using a foot pump: 400 N
To lift the hydropneumatic trolley jack with a rated load ≤ 5 t using a crank: 250 N
NOTE If the loads generated exceed these values, they must be reduced by the intervention of additional persons.

3.
Each part in the hydropneumatic trolley jack must be checked in case of load considered abnormal or following a shock.
3. MOUNTING INSTRUCTION
1. First loosen the screw attached to the frame (
8
).
2. Connect the hose and the spring to the lifting device (
9
).
- For 30t jack, the white hose is connected to the right inlet, the black hose is connected to the left inlet (
10
).
- For 50t jack, the white hose is connected to the left inlet, the Black hose is connected to the right inlet (
10
).
3. To assemble the handle, see figure
11
.
4. To install the control lever, loosen the screw and rotate the control lever into the hole (12).
5. Do a complete cycle of lifting and lowering with no load, to purge air from the hydraulic system.
4 OPERATION
1.
Loosen the contactor screw and turn the control lever towards the screw hole.
2.
Verify the control lever is the neutral position.
3.
Connect shop air supply to the hydropneumatic trolley jack. Minimum air pressure is 9 to 12 bars. Install an air filter/lubricator in the shop
air line, because water in the air line will damage the hydropneumatic trolley jack (
6
).
4.
Move the control lever to raise the saddle to the contact point. Move the control lever to neutral position (
12
