4. INTRODUCTION

CAUTION:
• Use only on a firm, level surface i.e. concrete, not tarmac.
• Do not exceed the rated capacity of this jack.
• This is a lifting device only ... do not work under the vehicle without proper support
devices, such as axle stands.
• Make sure that the lifting point is stable and correctly centred on the jack saddle.
• Familiarize yourself thoroughly with this manual before operating to prevent damage
to the jack, property, or personal injury.
5. HEALTH & SAFETY INFORMATION
5.1 GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTION FOR TROLLEY JACK
• The vehicle to be lifted should never exceed the rated capacity of the jack.
• The maximum stroke of the jack should never be exceeded.
• The jack should be supported on a solid, level and horizontal surface which is well
illuminated and free of obstructions. Never stand the jack on a surface which may sink.
Ensure that there are no persons inside the vehicle to be lifted. Switch off the engine and
apply the brake. Ensure the vehicle or element to be lifted against any type of sliding. Use
chocks if appropriate. Do not enter the vehicle or start the engine whilst it is supported
on the jack or appropriate stands. The jack is a lifting device only and should never be
used to move the vehicle.
• Position the jack under the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended lifting point for the
vehicle and ensure that it is not corroded, dirty or greasy. This point should remain
centred over the jack saddle. Off-centred loads can slip and accidents may result.
• During raising and lowering of the load, all precautions should be taken to avoid
movement of the vehicle load. Traffic may cause the raised vehicle to rock during
roadside use of the jack.
• The jack should be positioned so as to avoid the need for the user to introduce any part
of his/her body underneath the vehicle. Never work under a raised vehicle without
supporting it with axle stands or other appropriate methods. Never position any part of
your body near the movable elements of the jack.
• It is necessary for the operator to 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 process must be interrupted.
• Ensure that there are no persons or obstructions underneath the vehicle prior to
lowering.
• As an additional safety measure against overload, the jack is fitted with an overload valve
set at the factory and which should not be adjusted under any circumstances. If the
capacity of the jack is exceeded, the overload valve will stop the lifting operation.

hard and level surface as the
location will permit.
