OPERATING
Before using the trolley jack for the first time, bleed the hydraulic system to remove any air.
Please see page 6 for bleeding instructions.
1. Turn the release valve clockwise until it can no longer be turned (See fig. 3).
2. Lower the handle to a convenient angle by pulling the control rod up (See fig. 4). Ensure the control rod is
locked into position in one of the three holes.
3. Pump the foot pedal to move the saddle to just under the correct height (See fig 5).
4. Use the toe plate to help position the trolley jack underneath the
vehicle (See fig. 6).
5. To help with positioning, the handle can also be locked in three
positions (See fig.7)
6. Pump the handle to raise the saddle into the correct position. Please
refer to the “Car owner’s manual” for the correct jacking points.
7. Check positioning under a slight load to make sure the jack will not slip
when in use (See fig 8). Continue to lift the load.
8. nce the load has been raised to the required height, use an additional
support (i.e. correctly rated stands) before continuing work (See fig 9).
9. To lower the vehicle, remove the additional supports. Turn the handle
anti-clockwise. The speed at which the vehicle is lowered can be
controlled easily by how much and how quickly the release valve is
turned.
TOOLS EEDED: Either two 17mm
sockets or two 17mm spanners.
1. Remove and dispose of the
metal rod which is holding the
handle socket down (See fig. 1).
2. Position the handle over the
spring. Push it down whilst
ensuring that the control rod is
located in the top securing hole
(See fig. 2). Tighten the handle
bolt securely and test to make
sure the handle will not pull out.
