SAFETY REGULATIONS
- Only authorised personnel are allowed to use the equipment and they must know the contents of this operating and
maintenance handbook.
-The jack is an apparatus for lifting only and not for supporting, it is therefore absoltely forbidden to work in any
way under the vehicle being lifted until it is placed on the relative stands. DWG. 2
- Before starting to lift a vehicle it has to be blocked with the parking brake and/or by putting wedges under the wheels, as
illustrated in figure DWG. 3
- If the vehicle is loaded check load stability when lifting.
- Place the jack so that the load is centred over it and where the gripping points are indicated by the vehicle manufacturer.
DWG. 4
- During lifting and lowering, it is necessary to check there are no persons or animals under the suspended load or in the
vicinity.
- Before lowering the load make certain the handle is in the horizontal position. DWG. 5
- Never lift loads on sloping, uneven or soft ground. DWG. 6
- If extensions are needed use only those supplied by the manufacturer with the jack.
Do not use extensions without the relevant plate. Never use more than two extensions. DWG. 7
- Do not lift the load in a confined space so as not to run the risk of getting trapped.
- It is forbidden to use more than one jack simultaneously on the same load.
- Never tamper with the pressure relief valve that has the guarantee seal. DWG. 8
- Do not leave any pressure in the pistons at end of stroke when there is no load

PACKING
- The body, handle and other parts of the jack are packed in a three-layer corrugated cardboard box with pallet; the
operating and maintenance manual plus the warranty certificate in a folder are also inside the box.
- The instruction “Keep upright” is clearly visible on the cardboard box containing the jack.
- Depending on the number of jacks shipped, pallets of different sizes are used.
- Either transpallets or forklift-trucks are used for handling.
PUTTING INTO OPERATION
ASSEMBLY
1. Take the handle, the jack and the extensions out of the cardboard box.
2. Loosen the two nuts POS. 14 EXPLODED DRAWING YAK221/NPOS. 14 EXPLODED DRAWING YAK221/N from inside the chassis. DWG. 10
3. Loosen screw POS. 13 YAK221/NPOS. 13 YAK221/N from the chassis and remove parts POS. 9, 10, 11, 12 YAK221/NPOS. 9, 10, 11, 12 YAK221/N keeping them
assembled.
4. Fit the handle (the air distributor must be facing the pistons) inserting the coupling in the groove , put the parts removed
previously into the hole of the handle, tighten screw POS. 13 YAK221/NPOS. 13 YAK221/N and then tighten nut POS. 14 YAK221/NPOS. 14 YAK221/N .
5. Connect the two air pipes between the jack and the handle with the quick couplings on the chassis respecting the colour
indication as showed on the sticker on the chassis itself. DWG. 11
CONNECTION TO THE COMPRESSED AIR SYSTEM
- Compressed air enters into the jack circuit through the quick coupling on the top of the manual lifting/descending controls;
it is therefore necessary to have a connecting pipe with a quick coupling compatible with that of the jack. Check that the air
supply pipe has a useful passage of at least 6 mm and it is not pinched or restricted anywhere. DWG. 12
WORKING AIR PRESSURE: 116 - 145 PSI
- Absolutely never put the following into the compressed air circuit: hydraulic or Vaseline oil, brake liquid, kerosene or other
liquids.
-Install a filter dehumidifier-lubricator unit in the compressed air system.
- If you want to lubricate the compressed air circuit use exclusively:

ACCESSORIES
The jack is supplied with two extensions or height adapters (120 mm the long extension, 70 mm the short extension), a
circular tooth plate (10 mm plate) and an extension holder.
Never use more than two extensions! The manufacturer is not liable for any damage resulting as a
consequence of disregard for the above indications and the warranty conditions are invalidated thereof!
SCRAPPING AND DISPOSAL
- The lubricants must be disposed of in compliance with the anti-pollution laws in force.
- Scrapping the jack and its component parts must be carried out by the user in accordance with current laws.
USE
IMPORTANT: It is mandatory that the jack be used or activated in the horizontal position so as not to
compromise its operation.
- Expressly observe the safety rules already described in this manual.
1) Position the jack under the supports as described in the manual of the vehicle the manufacturing company is not
responsible for any break or damage to the lifted vehicle or to persons or property due to an incorrect use of the
jack.
2. The handle positioning lever (A) is on the left in relation to the worker; by moving it upwards the stopping system is
released so the worker can then choose one of the three possible handle positions. DWG. 13
3. When control (B) is in the perfectly central position, the jack is in the idle status.
4. By turning control B, located near the handle, towards the right in relation to the worker, the jack lifts the load.
5. By turning control B, located near the handle, towards the left in relation to the worker, the jack lowers the load. DWG.
13
6. After lifting the load, it is absolutely essential to rest it on the support stands before doing any work under it.
Remember that the jack is a lifting device and not a supporting device!
- The operator’s employer will have to provide the necessary training and furnish the necessary information about
the pumping and shifting forces.
- If the distributor breaks during use, work directly on the flow of air, closing the safety cock no. between the quick coupling
of the air inlet and the distributor itself. DWG. 14
-Before working with the jack, it is advisable to perform a few operations with no load in order to acquire the
sensitivity necessary to work safely with the jack.
- When the jack is not used, always keep the pistons lowered
IMPROPER USE
The air-hydraulic jack has been designed and made to lift transport vehicles. Any other use of the jack, such as for
instance lifting and/or moving persons, is considered to be definitely improper. All use of the jack not in conformity with the
safety rules listed in this manual is considered to be improper use.

MAINTENANCE JOBS FOR THE END USER
- To ensure your jack a long life it is advisable to clean the pistons externally once a fortnight.
- Check the level of oil in the tank at least twice a year.
CHECK THE OIL LEVEL
IMPORTANT: the maximum quantity of oil in this jack is 1.2 L. Compatible oil: ATF DEXRON IID
Please follow the steps listed here to check the oil level:
1. Bleed off the air (see procedure in the next section)
2. Position the jack horizontally with the pistons down
3. Undo the screw, POS. 24 GRP1GCIPOS. 24 GRP1GCI (see DWG 15)
4. If, once this screw has been undone, no oil comes out it means the level is too low. Add oil in this case. The level must
be at the height of the small bolt on the side of the tank, under the casing.
5. If oil does come out, let the excess quantity drain off until the right level is reached (see point 4).
AIR BLEEDING
Each time the jack is serviced, removing and refitting parts connected to the tank and motorpump, it is advisable to bleed
off all air. Bleeding phases:
1. The pistons must be moved out completely.
2. Remove the casing and close the cock no. POS. 9 GRP1SOLPOS. 9 GRP1SOL.
3. Turn the jack over on to one side, leaving free access to the dowel no. POS. 17 GRP1GCIPOS. 17 GRP1GCI on the side of the base.
DWG. 16
4. Loosen (NEVER unscrew the dowel completely!) the dowel no. POS. 17 GRP1GCIPOS. 17 GRP1GCI and move the pistons back in by
hand.
5. Let all the air out from the dowel and continue until oil starts coming through and then close the dowel.
6. Put the jack back into the working position.
7. Open the cock POS. 9 GRP1SOLPOS. 9 GRP1SOL.
8. Move the pistons back in completely and check oil level.
9. Try to operate the jack without any load and if the piston lowers in jerks repeat the procedure at least 2 or 3 times.
