-
Ensure that there are no persons inside the vehicle to be lifted.
-
Immediately after the lift, the vehicle must be supported with extra stands, for example with jack stands.
Have the extra stands nearby before lifting the vehicle.
4. OPERATION
WARNING! Ensure that you read, understand and apply all instructions. The owner and/or operator is
responsible for providing maintenance and maintaining the jack in good working order. The jack must
be inspected according to instructions before each use.
Before first use
-
Before first use, air must be purged from the system as follows:
1.
Insert the handle into the socket and fix it with the screw provided.
2.
Pull the handle and turn it clockwise and whilst held in this position, pump the jack several times to bleed
the accumulated air from the system.
3.
Release the handle and it will automatically return back to the initial position. The jack is now ready to be
used.
Lifting the vehicle
WARNING! Never lift a vehicle with its engine running or start a lifted vehicle.
1.
With the lifting arm completely lowered, position the jack to the lifting point under the vehicle.
2.
Place the handle into the socket and slowly pump the handle until the lifting saddle contacts the lifting
point under the vehicle. (At this stage you can alternatively use the foot pedal which brings the lifting sad-
dle faster to the lifting point.)
3.
Inspect the position of the lifting saddle and make sure it is centered and supports the lifting point properly.
4.
Continue pumping the handle until the vehicle is lifted to desired height. Check the position of the lifting
saddle and make sure the lifting point cannot slip off the lifting saddle.
5.
Place jack stands beneath the vehicle at locations recommended by the vehicle manufacturer. Do not get
under the vehicle without jack stands. Jack stands are not to be used to simultaneously support both ends
or one side of the vehicle.
6.
Pull the handle and turn it SLOWLY clockwise to lower the vehicle down onto the jack stands.
Working with a lifted vehicle
-
Working near a lifted vehicle is dangerous. Do not move the jack while it is supporting a vehicle. Avoid
working under a lifted vehicle or placing any part of your body beneath it. Keep in mind torque forces when
loosening bolts or nuts for example, as a sudden move could cause the vehicle to drop from the jack
stands if it is not properly supported. Do not try to start a lifted vehicle.
Lowering the vehicle
WARNING! Before lowering the vehicle, make sure the area under and near the vehicle is clear of all persons
and objects.
1.
Reposition the jack under the same lifting point as used earlier to lift the vehicle.
2.
Pump the handle until the lifting saddle contacts the lifting point under the vehicle. (At this stage you can
alternatively use the foot pedal which brings the lifting saddle faster to the lifting point.)
3.
Make sure the lifting saddle is centered under the lifting point. Pump the handle slowly to lift the vehicle off
from the jack stands.
4.
Remove the jack stands and set them far away from the vehicle.
5.
Pull the handle and turn it SLOWLY clockwise until the jack begins to lower.
6.
Lower the jack slowly as a too fast drop can damage the vehicle.
7.
Once the vehicle has been lowered, release the handle and it will automatically return back to the initial
position.
