IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNING: ALWAYS USE AXLE STANDS
Please remember a trolley jack is a lifting device and is not designed to support a load. Never get underneath a vehicle supported
only by a jack - your life is at risk. We stock a comprehensive range of axle stands - please see relative section for full details.
5.1. BEFORE FIRST USE

5.2. GENERAL
WARNING! Before lifting ensure chapter 1 safety instructions are strictly followed.
5.2.1. Prepare the vehicle as mentioned in the safety instructions ensuring the ground on which the jack is to stand is level and solid (not
tarmacadam).
5.2.2. Position the jack saddle under the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended lifting point. (See vehicle handbook for details).
5.3. JACKING THE VEHICLE
5.3.1. Turn the handle clockwise to close the valve and commence pumping the handle up and down using maximum strokes until the
vehicle reaches the desired working height.
5.3.2. Should the jack become overloaded, a safety excess pressure valve will open, and stop the jack from lifting.
5.4. WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION
Up to 80% of the lifted load is carried by the front jack wheels placing exceptional stress on the point of contact with the supporting
 oor.Forthisreasonuseonahardlevelconcretesurfaceonly.
5.5. LOWERING THE LOAD
The lowering speed is controlled by the amount you turn the handle. Lower slowly and carefully, avoiding sudden release.
WARNING! Ensure there are no persons or obstacles beneath the vehicle, or in the path of its descent.
