5. Take care that no obstruction prevents a clean lift. Keep all personnel at a
safe distance before pumping the handle to lift the vehicle.
NOTE: The jack may move slightly during operation. It is important
therefore, that the floor is clean and completely free from debris.
6. Position axle stands directly beneath suitable supporting points on the
vehicle, and very gently twist the handle anticlockwise.
•
This will open the control valve to lower the load onto the stands.
7. To stop it lowering at any point, turn the handle clockwise again. Always
avoid a rapid descent by turning the handle slowly.
8. Carefully lower the vehicle onto the axle stand, checking constantly,
preferably with an assistant, that the vehicles supporting point rests snugly
and cleanly on the stand, and that the supporting stand is stable before
all the weight is taken.
NOTE: Ensure this operation is carried out under complete control. DO NOT
allow the load to drop suddenly as this could damage internal parts.
9. Completely remove the jack from the vehicle.
MAINTENANCE
PURGING AIR FROM THE SYSTEM
If air bubbles become trapped inside the hydraulic system, the efficiency of
the jack will be reduced. Air can be purged from the system as follows.
1. Use the handle to turn the control
valve counter-clockwise, relieving
the pressure within the jack, then
remove the cover plate & oil filler
plug. A broad-bladed screwdriver
is required for the plug.
2. Pump the handle several times to
purge air from the system.
3. Replace the oil filler plug, then
turn the control valve clockwise
and test the jack. If efficiency is still low, check the oil level as below.
CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL
If the jack has been stored for long periods, check for oil leaks before use. If
necessary, check the oil level as follows:
1. Ensure the jack is fully lowered by using the handle to turn the control
valve fully anticlockwise.
2. Remove the cover plate and the oil filler plug.
