Ensure that the jack is in sound condition and good working order. Take action for immediate repair or replacement of damaged parts.
Use recommended parts only. The use of unauthorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
Keep the jack clean for best and safest performance.
Locate the jack in a suitable, well lit, work area. Keep the work area clean and tidy and free from unrelated materials.
Use jack on level and solid ground, preferably concrete.
Avoid tarmacadam since jack may sink in
.
Place wedges under wheels of vehicle (
but ensure wheels of jack can freely move).
Ensure the vehicle handbrake is engaged, the engine is switched off and the transmission is in 1st gear (or in “Park” if automatic).
Ensure minimum distance of 0.5m between vehicle tilt and static objects such as doors, walls, etc.
Ensure that all non-essential persons keep a safe distance whilst the jack is in use.
Ensure that there are no passengers in the vehicle which is to be jacked up.
Place jack under vehicle manufacturer’s recommended lifting points
(see vehicle handbook).
Check that the lifting point is stable and centred on the jack saddle.
Ensure that the jack wheels are free to move and that there are no obstructions.
DANGER: Use the jack for lifting only, NOT for supporting the lifted load.
Use correct axle stands under the vehicle before proceeding with any task.
Use a qualified person to lubricate and maintain the jack.
Confirm that the recommended
hydraulic oil
is used during maintenance.
DO NOT
operate the jack if it is damaged.
DO NOT
allow untrained persons to operate the jack.
DO NOT
exceed the rated capacity of the jack.
DO NOT
allow the vehicle to move during jacking or use the jack to move the vehicle.
DO NOT
jack a vehicle if there is a risk of spillage of fuel, battery acid or other dangerous substances, or a risk of load movement.
DO NOT
work under the vehicle until axle stands have been correctly positioned.
DO NOT
use the jack for purposes other than that for which it is intended.
DO NOT
top up hydraulic system with brake fluid. Use hydraulic oil only.
DO NOT
alter the pressure control valve.
Store jack, fully lowered, in a dry, childproof area.
WARNING: It is very dangerous to go under a vehicle which is supported by a jack even if additional supports are used. DO NOT go under
a vehicle unless it is supported by adequately rated axle stands.
IMPORTANT! Ensure you can see the saddle and jacking point throughout the jacking operation in case there is any relative
movement.
