WaRninG!
Before lifting ensure chapter 1 safety instructions are strictly followed.
3.1.
Before using the jack, purge the hydraulic circuit, in order to eliminate any air from
the system that may have accumulated during transit, as follows:
a) Insert jack handle over release valve (fig 1.1) and turn anti-clockwise to open valve.
b) Insert jack handle into the handle sleeve (2) and pump several times to ensure full internal lubrication
and to bleed air from the system.
c) When complete place the handle back over the release valve (1) and turn clockwise to close.
WaRninG!
Ensure you prepare vehicle and use jack according to chapter 1 SaFEtY InStrUCtIonS.
Check that the supporting ground upon which the jack will stand is level and solid and not tarmacadam.
3.2.
Position the jack saddle (4) under the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended lifting point ensuring the saddle
is correctly centred beneath the load. Ensure jack is positioned to avoid having to operate it from under
the vehicle, and that the handle is free to move up and down.
3.3.
Pump the handle up and down using full stroke range so that the saddle quickly reaches the working height.
3.4.
Should the jack become overloaded, a safety excess pressure valve will open, and stop the vehicle from lifting.

Regularly inspect and lubricate the Jack ensuring it is in good working order and condition.
do not
use the jack if damaged or a fault is
suspected. Check chapter 5 troubleshooting. If necessary, immediately repair or replace damaged parts.
Use recommended parts only, the use of improper parts may be dangerous and will invalidate your warranty.
Ensure the jacking area is clean and tidy and free from unrelated materials and has adequate lighting.
Use jack on level and solid ground, preferably concrete.
Avoid tarmacadam since jack may sink in.
Park the vehicle and apply hand brake (if automatic, place in “Parked” mode). Switch off the engine, and place chocks under the wheels.
Ensure minimum distance of 0.5m between vehicle tilt & static objects such as doors, walls, etc.
Ensure all persons are out of the vehicle before jacking.
do not
enter vehicle whilst it is supported on the jack or axle stands.
Check vehicle weight and recommended lifting points by referring to the vehicle owner’s manual. Ensure the lifting point is not corroded.
Check jack saddle is centred and stable on lifting point, (off centre loads can slip). Position jack to avoid operating it from under vehicle.
DanGEr!
Use the jack for lifting only,
not
for supporting the lifted load.
aLWaYS USE propErLY ratED aXLE StanDS.
Keep hands etc clear of moving parts during raising and lowering of the vehicle.
Use properly rated axle stands under the vehicle before proceeding with any task.
DanGEr!
Roadside wheel change is hazardous.
Be extra vigilant,
You may not be able to avoid jacking on tarmacadam. Get everyone
out of vehicle.
nEVEr
go under vehicle. Traffic may cause vehicle to rock. Use hazard warning lights. If in doubt call professional help.
When changing a wheel, slightly loosen wheel nuts prior to jacking vehicle. Screw wheel nuts back before lowering vehicle.
Use a qualified person to lubricate and maintain the jack. Confirm that only recommended
hydraulic jack oil
is used during maintenance.
do not
exceed the rated capacity of the jack, and
do not
operate the jack beyond its maximum pump stroke.
WaRninG!
Do not
allow the vehicle to move during jacking.
Do not
start the engine when vehicle is jacked up.
do not
jack a vehicle if it may result in the spillage of fuel, battery acid, or dangerous substances.

positioned.
do not
use jack to support extensions or cradles.
do not
modify jack in any way.
do not
use the jack for any other purpose.
do not
top up system with brake fluid. Use hydraulic oil only, and
do not
adjust the safety overload valve (fig 1.5).
Ensure there are no persons or obstruction beneath the vehicle before lowering.
Clean, and securely stow the jack properly, with the ram in the down position.
do not
leave it extended. Ensure stowage area is dry.
WaRninG!

for user to go under a vehicle supported by a jack even if additional supports are used.
Do not
go under a vehicle without the support of properly rated axle stands. NOTE: Seek advice before jacking caravans or trailers.
1. safety instRuctions
The HT model telescopic bottle jack has a telescopic hydraulic ram which allows a reduced closed height without compromising maximum lift
height. Your HT jack is made in the EU and is fitted with a safety overload valve. A one-piece base, reservoir and pump cylinder design gives
your jack added strength. The following specification dimensions are cross referred to fig 1.
