OPERATING JACK
Preparing Work Area
Before using hydraulic jack to lift vehicle, it is important to prepare work area properly. Follow this procedure each time the jack is
used to help prevent property damage and or serious injury.
1.) Thoroughly inspect hydraulic jack for damage or wear before each use. Briefly test operation of unloaded jack before using to lift
any load. If hydraulic jack is damaged or is malfunctioning, DO NOT LIFT ANY LOAD until the problem is corrected.
2.) The vehicle manufacturer’s owner’s manual should be consulted prior to the lifting of the vehicle. It will advise safety precautions,
jacking procedure, vehicle weight, recommended jack type, and location of jack support areas on vehicle. The working load limit
of the hydraulic jacks is K12150 - 1850kg, K12151 - 4000kg, K12152 - 6000kg, K12153 - 10000kg, K12157 - 20000kg, K12158 -
10000kg, K12159 - 20000kg. NEVER EXCEED WORKING LOAD LIMIT OF JACK.
3.) Clear children and others from work area before moving or lifting vehicle. Another adult should be nearby for extra safety and
assistance but must be clear of vehicle as it is moved or lifted. No person should remain in a vehicle that is being jacked. No person
should enter a vehicle which is supported by a jack or by vehicle support stands. No person should lean into a vehicle which is
supported by a jack or by vehicle support stands.
4.) No person should place any portion of their body under a vehicle that is supported by a jack.
5.) Clear obstructions from work area. Working in tight or cluttered work areas is dangerous.
6.) Be sure hydraulic jack and vehicle is on a solid level ground such as paved or concrete driveway or garage floor.
The hydraulic jack
should be used on level firm ground wherever possible.
Uneven or sloped surfaces create hazardous working conditions and
dangerously impede the function of the jack.
7.) With vehicle in proper position, set vehicle’s parking brake on or emergency brake and put gearshift in park (manual transmissions
should be placed in lowest gear). TURN VEHICLE IGNITION OFF AND TO THE “LOCK” POSITION making sure steering wheel locks.
8.) It is recommended that the wheels of the vehicle be chocked. Do not rely on vehicle transmission or brakes to hold vehicle in
position. Chock all wheels of vehicle not being lifted off the ground to prevent vehicle rolling. Using wedge-shaped blocks that tyre
cannot roll over, position one chock tight against the tyre in both forward and reverse rolling paths.
9.) The load should be centrally located on the head cap. Off centre loads can be unstable.
10.) The hydraulic jack should be used for lifting and lowering only; the raised vehicle should be supported on vehicle support stands.
Vehicle support stands (not included) will be needed to support vehicle once it is in raised position. Have vehicle support stands
capable of supporting vehicle weight ready nearby for use. Read and understand jack stand manufacturer’s instructions and
safety information before use and before lifting the vehicle with this jack.
11.) Plan location of jack beneath vehicle, making sure the hydraulic jack will be contacting only a jack support area of vehicle.
Consult vehicle owner’s manual for location of jack support areas.
Lifting Vehicle
Lifting a vehicle using a jack can be dangerous. Follow all instructions and precautions below. Do not lift any vehicle with its engine
running or start any vehicle that is supported by jack or jack stands.
1.) With the hydraulic ram completely lowered, position the hydraulic jack beneath jack support area of vehicle.
DO NOT MANOEUVRE JACK WITH HANDLE ON THE RELEASE VALVE
2.) Turn the handle clockwise until firm DO NOT over tighten. Remove handle from the release valve and slide the handle into
operating lever.
3.) Inspect position of the head cap beneath support area, making sure it is centered and properly engaging support area.
4.) Continue pumping handle until vehicle is lifted to desired height. Pay attention to head cap position as vehicle is being raised to be
sure there is no danger of support area slipping off or lifting from the head cap.
5.) Place jack stands under additional vehicle support areas.
6.) Place handle on release valve and twist the handle slowly counter-clockwise to lower jack.
