WARNING! IN CASE OF ANY DOUBT ON THE
SAFETY OF THE JACK DO NOT USE IT.
USE
The jack is only suitable to be used for lifting
vehicles off the ground up to the maximum height
allowed by the jack (see “TECHNICAL DATA”)
keeping at least 2 wheels (front and rear) resting
on the ground, for performing any inspections,
maintenance and small repairs on vehicles.
The upwards and downwards movements of the
jack are performed through the manoeuvring lever
which controls the pump incorporated into the
jack. The saddle is kept in position by a safety
valve.
After lifting safety trestles must be used,
which are inserted under the load, to guarantee
the load is supported.
It must only be used on
flat surfaces and floors that can support the jack
and the weight of the load.
Loads must be lifted in the rest position, operating
the jack to lift them,. Never place the load directly
on the saddle. Any use other than that indicated
in these instructions may damage the jack and
constitute a serious risk to both the user and
property. Proper operation of the jack depends on
correct use and appropriate maintenance.
The Manufacturer declines all responsibility due to
negligence and failure to observe the regulations
described herein; it also declines all responsibility
for direct and/or indirect damage caused by
improper use of the jack.
LIFTING
!
!
lifting operations may be very dangerous
if not performed with utmost care: therefore
send anyone not operating the machinery away.
clean, tidy and cordon off the operating area.
Also check that the safety trestles (not supplied)
are intact and suitable.
- If the rod is not in the lowered position, turn the
release valve (8 fig.A) clockwise for no more than
1 turn using the tapered end of the manoeuvring
lever extension; then turn it clockwise to close it.
- If necessary turn the threaded saddle
anticlockwise until it comes into contact with
the vehicle. Assemble the extension with the
manoeuvring arm (1-12 fig.A), thus creating the
activation lever.
- Arrange the jack, with the rod lowered, below
the vehicle to be lifted, making sure the load is
well distributed above the saddle (3 fig.A). The
floor must be sufficiently resistant to withstand
the weight to be lifted.
- Put the lever into the pump so that it is inserted
in the housing (fig.C).
- Perform the pumping operation lifting the load
to the necessary height, moving the lever
alternatively upwards and downwards.
- Position suitable capacity safety trestles in areas
able to support the load (brackets, supports,
etc.).

!
During this operation take great care always
to keep a safe distance away in case the load
should fall.
- Unscrew the release valve slowly no more than
one turn (8 Fig.A). This opens the piston valve
and the jack rod is lowered. The weight of the
load will now only be acting on the trestles.
LOWERING
- Completely free the area below the load from all
items.
- Slightly lift the load by activating the jack so as
to release the safety trestles and remove them
from under the vehicle.
During this operation take great care always
to keep a safe distance away in case the load
should fall.
- Unscrew the release valve slowly no more than
one turn (8 Fig.A). This opens the piston valve
and the jack rod is lowered.
- With the load lowered and if necessary, turn
the threaded saddle clockwise to reduce the
dimensions of the jack, and extract it from under
the vehicle.
Jack failure with load raised
The jack could fail while the load is raised. Do not
attempt any repairs as the jack could suddenly
give way, causing the load to fall.
