Safety
CAUTION! Risk of personal injury!
The user of this car jack must be fully familiar with the functions
of the car jack, and the entire procedure to ensure safe operation
before using the product.
Failure to observe them may result in personal injury.
– Before lifting a vehicle, read the vehicle's operating instructions.
– Always wear suitable personal protective clothing when using
the car jack.
– Check the car jack before each use. If you notice loose or
detached parts or damage, do not use the car jack. If this occurs,
the car jack should be inspected by an authorised specialist.
– The car jack may only be used for lifting and lowering vehicles.
A lifted vehicle must be supported by support frames with the
required load capacity. Using only the car jack as a support for a
lifted vehicle may result in personal injury or property damage
to the vehicle.
– Never move a vehicle lifted with the car jack, as the car jack
cannot withstand such loads. Non-observance may result in
personal injury and/or damage to property.
– Do not make any changes to the car jack. Never open the
housing. The car jack has no parts that the user can repair or
modify. If the user repairs the product or uses it incorrectly or
improperly, the warranty expires. In case of repair, contact the
manufacturer through the service center indicated on the
warranty card.
– In the event of repair, only original spare parts for this car jack
may be used. The car jack contains mechanical parts that are
important to protect the product from damage.
– Do not modify the car jack or add any parts.
– Use the car jack only in dry weather and in a dry environment.

Safety
– Do not use the car jack in damp indoor areas or in rain.
– Do not store the car jack in a place where it could fall down.
– Do not place any objects on the housing.
– Do not load the car jack beyond the permissible load capacity
specified in the operating instructions.
– Only use the car jack on firm and level surfaces. Never place the
car jack on soft surfaces (e.g. grass). Such surfaces can bring the
vehicle into a tilted position or cause the car jack to slip, which
can cause damage to property and/or personal injury.
– Maintain a sufficient distance from the vehicle while it is raised
or lowered.
– Always lower the vehicle slowly.
– Before lifting the vehicle, tighten the parking brake, engage a
gear and lock the wheels with wheel chocks that do not lift.
– Only lift the vehicle at the attachment points designated by the
vehicle manufacturer.
– Before each use of the car jack, make sure that codes and
markings are visible and legible as they contain important
information. If this information is missing or illegible, contact
the manufacturer through the service center indicated on
the warranty card.

reduced physical, sensory or mental abilities (e.g. people
with reduced mobility, older people with reduced physical
and mental abilities) or people without experience and
knowledge (e.g. adolescents).
– Car jacks must not be used by people with limited physical,
sensory or mental abilities or by people without experience
and knowledge.
