1. Technical Data (fig.01)
2. Application and Function
• A trolley jack is a device which you use for lifting a car in order to ensure the accessibility
for repair and maintenance work.
• A trolley jack is only a lifting device and must not be used for transportation or for loading
of a vehicle.
• Maneuvering under load is prohibited.
• Do not misuse the trolley jack.
• Please also mind the product safety information!
3. Inspection – Scope of delivery
Open the packing and check that the equipment has not been damaged in transit and that
you received all the parts specified in the shipping documents. Before bringing the equipment
into service conduct a visual inspection in order to determine leaks, damages, loose or
missing parts.
Scope of Delivery:
1 x Lifting device
1 x Lever rod (upper part)
1 x Lever rod (lower part) (incl. screw)
1 x Protective sleeve for the handle
1 x User manual
1 x Spare parts drawings (unit and pump)
4. Assembly
1. Remove the device, including the enclosed items.
2. Remove the transportation lock on the lever support. (Fig.02). Push the lever support
down (1/2) and remove the transport lock (3/4).
3. At first remove the hexagon screw SW10 (Fig.03(1)) at the side of the lower lever rod
and put the upper and lower lever rod together before securing the connection with the
hexagon screw (Fig.03(2/3/4)).
4. Now attach the lever rod to the lifting device. For this purpose remove the hexagonal
screw SW17 at the support of the lifting device (Fig.04(1)) and place the lever rod into
the support (Fig.04(2)). Fasten the screw again (Fig.04(3/4)).
5. Before using the trolley jack it is necessary to de-aerate the hydraulic circuit (see
section 7)
5. Startup and operation
• When operating the device, the safety guidelines must be taken strictly into account.
• Please position the trolley jack underneath the lifting points of the vehicle.
• Make sure that no person stays in the car that will be lifted. Turn off the engine and put on
the handbrakes of the car. Use wedges to prevent the car from moving (Fig.05(1)). Do not
get into the car and do not turn the engine on.
• Never use the lifting jack in order to move the car or to leave it lifted. Always use chassis
stands (Fig.05(5)).
• Always position the lifting jack in such a way that it cannot be operated from underneath
the car (Fig.05(4)).
• Always make use of the car manual in order to identify the correct lifting points of the
vehicle.
• Use the lever rod or the foot pedal to bring the lifting device to the desired height (Fig.05
(2)). Make sure that the hydraulic valve is closed.
For this purpose it is necessary to fasten the lever rod clockwise.
Please note, that the foot pedal is mainly used to bridge the no-load stroke..
• The lifting devices are provided with an overload valve, which has been adjusted by the
manufacturer. This valve must never be readjusted.
• In order to lower the load turn the lever rod slowly anticlockwise (Fig.05(3)).
• When not using the trolley jack the piston / lifting arm must be pulled in.
6. Maintenance
• All moveable parts have to be greased regularly with standard multi-purpose grease.
Always keep the equipment clean and away from aggressive chemicals. Do not leave the
equipment outdoor.
• When not using the trolley jack the piston must be pulled in.
• A complete oil change is not necessary!
Please check the oil level at least once per year and conduct a refill, if required. Fill the
cylinder with hydraulic oil up to the lower edge of the oil intake screw. Please note that the
piston has to be retracted (Fig.05(6)).
• Important: too much oil may put the equipment out of operation.
• Only use hydraulic oil (Type HLP ISO VG 22) that has been approved by the manufacturer.
Caution: Never use brake fluid.
• Maintenance and repair of the equipment must only be performed by qualified technical
staff.
