To Raise a Vehicle
1.
Turn the release valve [E] clockwise until it is closed tightly.
2.
Place the vehicle in gear (or in Park (P) for vehicles with automatic transmission) and chock
the wheels that remain in contact with the floor in both directions.
3.
Locate the lift points of the vehicle (refer to the vehicles’ owners manual) and make sure
they are compatible with the saddle [A] of the jack. Do not use the jack if saddle and lift
points are not compatible to avoid structural damage to vehicle and/or jack.
Always centre the load on the saddle to avoid damage to the jack.
4.
Insert the handle [H] into the socket [D] and pump until the jack is almost touching the lift
point. Verify that the saddle [A] is centred and good contact with the lift point is assured.
5.
Continue pumping handle [H] until the vehicle is raised to the desired height. Immediately
support the vehicle by a pair of jack stands (not incl.). Never work under a vehicle that is
only supported by the floor jack!
6.
When jack stands are in place, lower the floor jack slightly (see instructions below) until the
vehicle rests on the jack stands.
To Lower a Vehicle
1.
Remove the handle [H] from the socket [D] and use the open end to turn the release valve
[E] slowly counter clockwise.
When the vehicle is on jack stands, first lift the vehicle until the jack stands can easily be
removed.
2.
For storage, close the release valve by turning it completely clockwise
6.
Cleaning and Maintenance
When the jack is not in use or for storage, lower the saddle completely to prevent corrosion.
Always store the floor jack in a horizontal position to avoid oil leakage.
Keep the jack clean and keep all moving parts well lubricated. Remove excessive grease and dirt
from the outside.
The jack contains about 7 fl. oz. (± 210 ml) oil (SAE5W). To check oil level, lower the saddle [A]
completely and open the oil filler plug [J] under the cover plate [C]. Add oil when oil level is ½”
(12 mm) under the plug hole.
The oil should be replaced once a year. To replace the oil, open the oil filler plug [J] and remove
the release valve [E] completely by turning it counter clockwise. Be careful not to contaminate
the inside of the hydraulic system! Remove and refill via the oil filler plug hole.
Use of improper oil or other fluid can cause serious damage to the internal parts of the jack!
Take appropriate safety measurements when handling oil.
Dispose of used oil in accordance with local regulations.
Re-install and close the release valve [E] completely.
Pull the saddle [A] all the way up than open the release valve [E] to lower the saddle. Force the
saddle to lower faster. Close the release valve [E] and repeat this procedure a couple of times to
ensure proper oil distribution.
