5. Once the axle stands are properly located, VERY SLOWLY turn the release valve anti-
clockwise until the vehicle begins to lower onto the stands. Lower the vehicle slowly so as not
to shock load the jack stands.
6. BEFORE GOING UNDER THE VEHICLE ensure that all axle stands and chocks are correctly
in place and there is no chance of the vehicle becoming unstable.
TO LOWER THE VEHICLE:
Once repairs are completed raise the vehicle slightly, remove the axle stands and using the
handle as a wrench, VERY SLOWLY turn the release valve anti-clockwise until the vehicle begins
to lower.
CAUTION:
Ensure all body parts are kept clear of the jack and vehicle during the raising and
lowering operation.
MAINTENANCE, CARE AND LUBRICATION
1. This jack contains no user serviceable parts. Any modification will render the jack unsafe.
2. All moving joints require lubricating often. Lubricate all linkages, pivot points and castor wheels
using a grease gun.
3. Regularly check the plunger, main piston and linkages for signs of corrosion. Clean any light
surface corrosion with a suitable maintenance spray. If the corrosion is deeper than surface
do not attempt to use.
4. When not in use keep the jack stored on all 4 wheels with the arm and plunger all the way
down to prevent corrosion.
TO ADD OIL
IMPORTANT
When adding or replacing oil, ONLY use a quality hydraulic oil adhering to ISO VG 32
or similar. DO NOT use brake fluid, transmission fluid, alcohol, glycerine, detergent motor oil,
or dirty oil etc. as improper fluid will cause serious internal damage to jack making it unsafe to use.
1. Place the jack on level ground with the lifting arm and plunger fully lowered.
2. Remove the top cover plate and clean the surrounding area of the oil filler plug and remove
ensuring that no dirt etc falls into the unit (see Fig.1).
3. Oil should be filled to level indicated in the diagram. If low, add hydraulic oil as required.
Maintenance and inspection:
The owner and/ or user must maintain and inspect the jack in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
