PERSONAL SAFETY
CAUTION! Wear personal protective equipment approved by the Canadian Standards Association
(CSA) or American National Standards Institute (ANSI).
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
1. Always wear impact safety goggles that provide front and side protection for the eyes.
2. Wear gloves that provide protection based on the work materials or to reduce the effects
of tool vibration.
3. Non-skid footwear is recommended to maintain footing and balance in the work environment.
4. Wear steel toe footwear or steel toe caps to prevent injury from falling objects.
SPECIFIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. Do not exceed the lift capacity of the jack (see Specifications).
2. The jack should only be operated in an upright position and cannot be used where side or
downward force is required.
3. Do not operate the bottle jack in temperatures colder than -5°C as the hydraulic oil inside will
thicken and not flow properly.
4. Ensure the jack is used only on hard, level, flat surfaces.
5. The jack is designed to be a lifting device only. Once the load is raised, support the vehicle with
appropriate equipment, such as jack stands.
6. Do not allow people or animals under or near the load while lifting and lowering.
7. The jack should not be used in places where acids, alkalis or corrosive gases exist.
OPERATION
1. Estimate the weight of the load to ensure it does not exceed the lift capacity of the jack.
2. Apply the parking brake and chock the vehicle tires before lifting a vehicle.
3. Place the jack on a hard, flat, level surface and place it under the vehicle manufacturer’s
recommended lifting point.
4. To lift, use the handle (#26) to tighten the knob of the oil release valve (#18). Pump the handle
up and down to lift the load.
5. To lower, use the handle to loosen the oil release valve slowly.
6. Once the load is lifted to the proper height, support the load with appropriate equipment, such
as jack stands.
7. If several jacks are being used at the same time, the lifting speed should be synchronized and
the load on each jack should be balanced to prevent the load from tipping.
