SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS….cont
WARNING! Only operate on a level and stable surface and never use on soft ground
where the jack is likely to “sink” whilst in operation.
NEVER STAND ON THE JACK: The jack is not designed for this purpose.
DO NOT dismantle or tamper with the jack, as this may be dangerous and will invali-
date the warranty.
ALWAYS ensure the load is central on the saddle.
If a problem with the jack is experienced or suspected stop using the jack immedi-
ately and contact your distributor for repair.
Do not attempt to lift a load that exceeds rated capacity of the jack.
Do not attempt to lift a load beyond the maximum height of the jack.
This jack is a lifting device only.
Immediately after lifting, support the load with a pair of appropriately rated jack
stands.
Never work on, under or around a load supported only by the jack.
Regularly inspect and lubricate the jack, ensuring that it is in good working order and
condition.
Always ensure that the work area is clean and tidy, free from unrelated materials and
has adequate lighting.
When lifting a vehicle ensure a minimum distance of 0.5m between vehicle and
static objects such as doors, walls, etc. to allow for tilting during jacking.
Ensure that all persons are out of the vehicle before jacking.
DO NOT enter the vehicle whilst it is supported on the jack or axle stands.
Check vehicle weight and recommended lifting points by referring to the vehicle’s
manual. Ensure that the lifting point is not corroded.
DO NOT allow the vehicle to move, or try to start the engine, during jacking.
DO NOT start the engine when vehicle is jacked up.
DO NOT jack a vehicle if this may result in the spillage of fuel, battery acid, or other
dangerous substances.
Check that the jack saddle is centred and stable on the lifting point (off-centre loads
can slip).
Position the jack to avoid operating it from under vehicle.
Keep hands, limbs etc. clear of moving parts during the raising and lowering of the
vehicle.
DO NOT top-up the jack with brake fluid, or other oil types; use only hydraulic oil.
DO NOT adjust the safety overload valve.
Ensure that there are no persons or obstructions beneath the load before lowering.
Clean and stow the jack correctly, with the ram in the down position, do not leave it
extended; ensure storage area is dry.
IMPORTANT! Ensure that you can see the saddle and jacking point throughout the
jacking operation in case there is any relative movement.
Failure to follow the warnings in this manual, may result in personal injury and/or prop-
erty damage.

1. Open the release valve by turning the handle counter-clockwise.
2. Pump the handle a minimum of four full strokes quickly.
3. Close the release valve by turning the handle clockwise.
4. Pump the handle with full strokes to check if it can reach the maximum height
within ten pumps.
If it does not reach the maximum height within ten pumps, please refer to the follow-
ing special purging process:
1. Open the release valve by turning the handle counter-clockwise and lower the
lifting arm to the minimum height.
2. Place the jack on a flat working table and lift the front part of the jack to ensure
the front of the jack is at least 500mm higher than the rear of the jack.
3. Pump the handle a minimum of four full strokes quickly.
4. Place the jack on a flat surface and close the release valve by turning the han-
dle clockwise.
5. Pump the handle with full strokes to check if it can reach the maximum height
within ten pumps, if not please repeat the special purging process.
Caution: Due to the weight of the jack, at least 2 persons are required to
complete this operation.

8. Fit the service cover and retighten the 4 cap head bolts.
ADDING OIL
MAINTENANCE
OIL CHANGE
For the best performance and longest life, completely change the oil at least once
per year. Always dispose of hydraulic oil in accordance with local regulations.
1. Lower the saddle to its lowest position (turn the handle anti-clockwise).
2. Loosen (do not remove) the 4 cap head bolts that hold the service cover on and
remove the cover.
3. Loosen and remove the cap head bolt that holds the oil reservoir in position (see
below, left).
4. Pull up and remove the oil reservoir.
5. Remove the oil filler bung and invert the reservoir over a suitable collection con-
tainer, so that the oil filler hole is at the bottom of the reservoir.

Inspect before each use. Do not use if broken, bent, cracked or damaged parts are
noted. Any jack that appears damaged in any way, or operates abnormally should
be removed from service immediately. If the jack has been or is suspected to have
been subjected to a shock load (a load dropped suddenly, unexpectedly upon it),
immediately discontinue use until the jack has been checked by an authorised ser-
vice centre / agent (contact distributor or manufacturer for list of authorised service
centres). It is recommended that an annual inspection be done by a qualified per-
son/s.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS….cont
LOWERING THE JACK
1. Push the top handle into the lower handle, use the handle screw to secure both
parts together.
2. Insert the handle into the handle base and secure using the handle base
screw.
3. Close the release valve by turning the handle clockwise until firm resistance is
felt.
4. Locate the lifting point, centre the jack saddle under the lifting point.
5. Pump the handle to contact the lifting point; continue to pump the handle until
the load reaches the desired height.
6. Transfer the load immediately to appropriately rated jack stands.
1. Raise the load high enough to allow it to clear the jack stands.
2. Carefully remove the jack stands.
3. Slowly turn the handle anti-clockwise to open the release valve - Never turn the
handle more than ½ a turn at a time.
4. Allow the load to slowly lower to its original position.
5. Remove the jack from under the vehicle.
Caution: Take care when lowering the jack that nothing can get trapped
in the moving parts of the jack, or under the load.
Note: Follow the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended guidelines for lift-
ing. Engage the emergency brake and chock each un-lifted wheel in both
directions to prevent inadvertent vehicle movement.
Note: Refer to the vehicle manufacturer owner’s manual to locate ap-
proved lifting points on the vehicle.
Note: After removing the jack from under the vehicle, fully lower the saddle
to reduce ram exposure to contamination.
Never use the hydraulic jack as a stand alone device! always trans-
fer the lifted load immediately to a pair of appropriately rated jack
stands. Use one pair of jack stands per vehicle. Do not exceed the
rated capacity.
