1. IMPORTANT
1.1. Read these safety instructions carefully in addition to the instructions for use, operation
and maintenance. Keep them in a safe place for consultation following use.
1.2. This air hydraulic jack has been designed for use in the elevation of cars and lorries. Any
other application beyond the conditions established for use of this jack will be considered
inappropriate.
1.3. Handle the jack correctly and ensure that all parts are in good condition prior to its initial
and subsequent uses and that no parts are missing. Otherwise, do not use the jack and
contact your nearest manufacturer, supplier or technical service.
1.4. Operation and maintenance of the jack should only be performed by authorised persons,
having read carefully and understood the contents of this manual.
1.5. Do not modify the jack in any way.
1.6. Non-compliance with these instructions may result in injury or damage to the user, the
jack or the load to be lifted.
1.7. The manufacturer accepts no responsibility for the improper use of the jack.
2. SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
2.1. The load to be lifted should never exceed the rated capacity of the jack.
2.2. The jack should be supported on a solid, level and horizontal surface to avoid any sinking. It should be well
illuminated and free of unnecessary materials.
2.3. Ensure that there are no passengers inside the vehicle to be lifted and non essential persons should keep a
safe distance from the working area. The engine should be switched off and the hand brake applied. Use
safety stands if necessary.
2.4. The air supply hose should not be worn and connections should be in good condition. Keep the hose clean
and away from heat, dirty areas or sharp edges and do not bend it.
2.5. Position the jack under the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended lifting points, which should be stable
and centred over the jack saddle. These points will be free from grease or dirt. All off-centred loads may
produce risks.
2.6. The jack should be positioned so as to avoid the need for the operator to introduce any part of his/her
body underneath the vehicle. Never work under a raised vehicle without previously supporting it with
mechanical stands or other appropriate methods.
2.7. During lifting and lowering operations, all possible precautions should be taken to avoid movement of
the vehicle load. Ensure that there are no persons or obstructions underneath the vehicle prior to
lowering.
2.8. The operator should be able to observe the lifting device and the load during all movements. In the
presence of dangerous conditions, such as movement of the vehicle, etc, the lifting or lowering process
must be interrupted.
2.9. The jack is a lifting device and should never be used to support or move the vehicle. To perform any
operation underneath the vehicle, first support it using the appropriate mechanical stands. The handle
and wheels with which these devices are equipped should only be used for positioning under the load
and moving the device from one place to another. Check that the wheels rotate freely.
2.10. IMPORTANT
.-
Never use another extension. Use only Mega extensions. Never use more than one
extension at a time (fig 8). Saddle “C” must be placed direct on the jack piston, never
on the extension (Fig.9).
2.11. IMPORTANT: Use only Mega extensions. Never use more than one extension at a time (Fig 8)
Saddle “C” must be placed direct on the jack piston, never on the extension (Fig.9).
2.12. Disconnect the air supply hose from the connector located in the handle, once the operation is completed and prior to
carrying out any maintenance work.
2.13. As an additional safety measure against overload, the jack is fitted with an overload valve, set at the factory. This valve
should not be tampered with under any circumstances.
3. ASSEMBLY, USE AND OPERATION
3.1. Before operating the jack, a small assembly operation is required, consisting of: Removing the upper cover, place the
jack handle in position (4) and secure the bolt (26) and its washer (27), which are included in a kit as indicated (Fig. 2).
Replace the cover.
3.2. The handle has four positions: Foldable for transportation and packing (1). Out of operation (2). Movement (3). In
operation or horizontal (4). Each position
is achieved by disengaging the trigger lever (1, Fig. 3). The purpose of the
handle is to position the jack or simplify its movement. Do not exert any pressure on the handle.
3.3. Should the jack need to be packaged for transportation, remove the screw (26) and the washer (27) and move the
handle to position (1, Fig.1)
3.4. It is essential that an air filter-lubricator unit is installed (Fig.4), which is drained daily.
3.5. Drain the compressor daily. Poor air quality damages essential parts for the proper operation of the jack.
3.6. Prior to connecting the air supply hose (3), it is necessary to check that the control lever (2) is in the OFF
position (Fig.3). The air hose should not have a section inferior to that of the air entry connector (3). If
unusually long hoses are used, the air pressure should be increased.
3.7. Ensure that the same air pressure is going to be maintained during operation.
Optimum performance of this jack is obtained with a pressure of 7-10kg/cm2 and a
minimum air flow of 280 l/min.
3.8. A final operation to be performed prior to using the jack is the elimination of any air
that may have entered the hydraulic system during transportation. With the air hose
connected (3), push the control lever (2, Fig.3) towards the DOWN position, holding it
there for some seconds. Move the control lever to the UP position to complete a load
free lifting cycle. Move the control lever (2) to the DOWN position to retract the
pistons and hence check that the lowering action is performed steadily without any
