4. BEFORE FIRST USE
TROLLEY JACK
Before using jack, purge hydraulic unit in order to eliminate any air in the system. Locate the handle (fig.1H) onto the release valve nut (fig.1B) and
open valve by turning the handle anti-clockwise, place handle back into the jacking point (fig.1A) and pump for 30 to 40 seconds. When complete,
close the release valve by turning the valve nut (fig.1B) clockwise.
Place a few drops of hydraulic jack oil on pump piston. Thoroughly lubricate moving parts.
AXLE STANDS See fig.2
Familiarise yourself with the product. Check that the stands are in good order and condition. Insert the centre column in the centre tube, adjust to
height required and insert the locking pin and secure with R pin. When lowering the centre column, hold the centre column firmly before removing
the pin. Failure to do so will allow the centre column to free fall through the centre tube which may be dangerous.
5. OPERATION
5.1. TROLLEY JACK
5.1.1. General.
WARNING! Before lifting ensure Section 1 safety instructions are read and understood.
5.1.1.1. 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).
5.1.1.2. Position the jack saddle under the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended lifting point.
5.1.2. Jacking the vehicle.
5.1.2.1. Turn the handle clockwise to close the release valve (fig.1B) place handle in jacking point (fig.1A) and commence pumping handle up
and down, using maximum strokes, until the jack saddle reaches the vehicle jacking point. Check the jacking point is centrally located on
the saddle and raise the vehicle.
5.1.2.2.
Should the jack become overloaded, a safety excess pressure valve will open, and stop the vehicle from lifting.
WARNING! The jack is a lifting device only and must not be used to support the load. Use correctly rated axle stands to support the load.
5.1.2.3. When lifting a load of maximum capacity (2 tonnes) or close to it, it is recommended that the effort be reduced by the use of assistance
during this operation.
5.1.3. Lowering the vehicle
5.1.3.1. If using axle stands, raise the jack high enough for the stands to be easily removed. Then place handle on release valve nut (fig.1B)
and turn anti-clockwise, very slowly, to open the valve.
5.1.3.2. The lowering speed is controlled by the amount you turn the handle. Lower carefully, avoid any sudden changes in descent rate
which would shock load the hydraulic system.
 WARNING! Ensure there are no persons or obstacles beneath the vehicle, or in the path of its descent.
5.2. AXLE STANDS
5.2.1. Ensure the maximum load does not exceed 2 tonnes per pair of axle stands (1 tonne for each stand).
5.2.2. Refer to vehicle owner’s handbook for correct jacking procedure. Check to ensure that manufacturer’s recommended jacking points are in
good condition.
5.2.3. Ensure the vehicle parking brake is on and wheels are chocked.
5.2.4. Adjust height of stand to correspond with the raised vehicle.
5.2.5. Check that the locking pin is correctly pushed all the way through the centre column and out of the other side, with the R clip inserted.
Position stands under vehicle at points specified by vehicle manufacturer.
5.2.6. Carefully and slowly lower the load onto stands. Ensure the jacking points sit in the centre of the stand saddles and check that the stands
are stable and not leaning. Also ensure that there are no objects or persons that could impede the safe lowering of the vehicle onto the
stands.
5.2.7. After use, hold the centre column (fig.2) firmly when removing the locking pin (fig.2). Failure to do so will allow the centre column to
fall freely through the main centre tube which could be dangerous.
WARNING! Ensure you follow all instructions carefully. DO NOT load stands off centre. Failure to heed this warning may cause damage,
serious injury or loss of life!
5.3. WHEEL CHOCKS
5.3.1.
Ensure the vehicle handbrake is engaged, engine is switched off and transmission is in gear (or “PARK” if automatic).
5.3.2.
Always use chocks in pairs, one pair per tyre.
5.3.3. Unfold the chock and pull up the support bar until it stops. Lock the support bar into its groove.
5.3.4. Place one chock in front and one behind the tyre, centred on the tread of the tyre.
WARNING! Chocks are designed to be used on hard, level surfaces, capable of sustaining the load.
