1. Safety instructions
Explanation of the symbols
Denotes risk of personal injury, loss of life
or damage to the tool in case of non-
observance of the instructions in this
manual.
Special safety rules
Non-observance of the following instructions can
cause personal injuries and/or damage to the
vehicle.
• Before jacking up the car, make sure the jack
is as near to the wheel to be lifted as possible
and as far under the body or any other point of
support as possible.
• The maximum load indicated on the jack must
never be exceeded.
• The jack must be used as a lifting device only.
• Always place the jack on a hard and level
surface.
• Always protect the car from rolling away.
Before jack ing up the car, place chocks behind
and in front of the wheels remaining on the
ground, if necessary. Put the car in first gear or
put on the handbrake to further block the car.
• Make sure to place the jack in such a way that
your hand is not underneath the car when
jacking it up.
• Make sure the jack is placed vertical.
• For your own safety, before working or
crawling underneath the car jack up the car
and support the shafts.
• Before using the shaft supports make sure
they are in good condition.
• Should the pressure in the jack become too
high, excess air will escape through the relief
valve. The relief valve has been set in the
factory.
2. Using the apparatus
Assembling the jacking beam
Telescope both parts of the jacking beam, allowing
the flat side to be used when opening and closing
the cock to lower the jack.
Lifting
• Put the car in ‘1’ or engage the hand brake
and block the wheels to prevent the car from
moving.
• Close the cock by means of the jacking beam.
• Instal the screw jack in the right place
(indicated by the car manufacturer).
• Insert the jacking beam into the jacking point
and move the jacking beam up and down.
Shaft supports
• After jacking up the car the shaft supports
should be installed.
• Lower the car by turning the the screw of the
release valve anticlockwise, until the car rests
on the supports. Never work under a car which
only rests on the trolley jack.
Lowering

stands. Using the jacking beam, very slowly and
counterclockwise open the cock referred to under
A.
3. Service & maintenance
Regular maintenance of the hydraulic
jack prevents unnecessary problems.
