Before using the jack, purge the hydraulic circuit, in
order to eliminate any air in the system, by turning
the handle anti-clockwise to open and pumping 8 or
9times (fig.1).

turn the handle. Lower carefully, avoiding sudden
release.

obstacles beneath the vehicle, or in the path of its
descent
IMPORTANT!
Only fully qualified personnel should attempt mainte-
nance or repair.
• When the jack is not in use, the ram and the
handle socket should be in their lowest positions
to minimize corrosion, Remove the handle to
deactivate the jack.
• Keep the jack clean and lubricate all moving parts
with a good quality oil on a regular basis.
• To check the hydraulic oil level, fully lower the jack
and remove filler plug(fig.2).The correct oil level
should be approximately 5mm below the filler
opening. If oil level is low, fill as required, Pump
unloaded jack 5 or 6 times to expel air and then
refit plug.
Note: Use a good quality jack oil.
WARNING! DO NOT use brake fluid, or any fluid
other than hydraulic jack fluid as this may cause
serious damage to the jack and will invalidate the
warranty!
WARNING! Before lifting ensure that Section 1 safety
precautions are strictly followed.

tions, ensuring that the ground on which the jack is to
stand is level and solid (not tarmacadam).

turer’s recommended lifting point.

saddle takes up weight firmly and centrally. Check
positioning under slight load make sure jack will not
slip when in use.
Raise jack to required height. After lifting, use jack
stand to hold load for any length of time.
Note: if the jack becomes overloaded, a safety excess
pressure valve will open, and stop the vehicle from
lifting further.
