Before fIrSt uSe
4.1.1.
Assemble handle by sliding the two parts together and rotating until the locking pin clicks into position. Partially unscrew knurled
nob (fig1) until handle slides fully into socket. Tighten the knurled nob to lock handle in place.
4.1.2.
Before using jack for the first time, purge the hydraulic unit in order to eliminate any air in the system. Turn handle anti clockwise to
open release valve.
4.1.3.
Pump for 30 to 40 seconds. When complete, close the release valve by turning the handle clockwise.
4.1.4.
Place a few drops of hydraulic jack oil on pump piston and pump handle several times to distribute oil. Thoroughly lubricate moving
parts.

JackInG the VehIcle
4.3.1.
Rotate handle clockwise to close the release valve.
4.3.2.
Commence pumping handle up and down using maximum strokes until the jack saddle reaches the vehicle manufactures jacking
point. Check the jacking point is centrally located on the saddle and raise the vehicle.
4.3.3.
Should the jack become overloaded, a safety excess pressure valve will open, and stop the vehicle from lifting.
WarnInG!
The jack is a lifting device only and must not be used to support the load. Use correctly rated axle stands to support the
load.

The lowering speed is controlled by the amount you turn the handle. lower carefully, avoid any sudden changes in descent rate
which would shock load the hydraulic system.
WarnInG!
ensure there are no persons or obstacles beneath the vehicle, or in the path of its descent.
5. MaIntenance
5.1.
When the jack is not in use, the ram should be in its lowest position to minimise corrosion. Remove the handle to inactivate jack.
5.2.
Keep the jack clean and lubricate all moving parts with oil on a regular basis.
5.3.
Before each use check for broken, cracked, bent, or loose parts, or any visible damage to ram, pump, saddle, lifting arm, frame and
all parts including nuts, bolts, pins and other fasteners. If any suspect item is found remove jack from service and take necessary
action to remedy the problem.

Do not
use the jack if believed to have been subjected to abnormal load or shock load.
5.4.
Periodically check the pump piston and the ram for signs of corrosion. Clean exposed areas with a clean oiled cloth.
5.5.
After one year the oil should be replaced in order to extend the life of the jack. Use hydraulic jack oil only.
WarnInG!
only competent personnel should attempt hydraulic maintenance or repair.

To check the oil level, fully lower the jack and remove filler plug fig.2. The correct level is the bottom of the screw hole. If oil level is
low, fill as required. Pump jack 5 or 6 times to expel air. Pump jack up to full height and pour off excess oil before refitting plug.
