Assembly

Seize cylinder with both hands (OBS: Mind the 

fingers!). Place piston rod in hole and tighten the wing 

screw (64). Place pumping handle in tipping gear and 

screw locking screw completely into slot in handle. 

Lubricate all moving parts.

Use

Lifting: 

Activate lever tube up and down using full 

strokes. For a high lift, lift load to maximum with the 

low saddle, support it safely, then lift by the saddle on 

top of cylinder.

Lowering: 

Pull lever tube up, then slowly turn 

clockwise.

Transport

When transporting jack, step on the nut (73) and pull 

back the handle to lock it. The jack can now be driven 

on the two big wheels.

Maintenance

Maintenance and repair must always be carried out by 

qualified personnel.

Daily:

 Inspect jack for damages.

Monthly: 

Lubricate all mechanical parts with a few 

drops of oil, and grease the end of the pump piston.

Oil refill:

 Correct oil level is up to lower edge of filling 

hole (68) with the jack fully down and vertical cylinder. 

Too much oil causes poor pumping.

Quantity of oil: 0,5 l.

Any good hydraulic oil of viscosity ISO VG 15 can be 

used. 

NEVER USE BRAKE FLUID!

Safety Inspection

According to national legislation – minimum once 

a year though – the jack must be inspected by a 

professional: damages, wear and tear, adjustment 

of the safety valve, hydraulic unit for leakages. 

Furthermore that all safety labels are legible. 

Trouble shooting

1.  

The jack does not lift to maximum height: check oil 

level.

2.  

Poor pump function (half strokes): vacuum in the 

reservoir. Loosen filling plug (68) and  drain any 

excess oil.

3.  

Problems with the release system: Readjust the 

play between handle in neutral and release bracket 

(16) to be 2 – 4 mm by loosening or tightening the 

two nuts (45) (Please observe: the release shaft 

(30) shall not rotate).

4.  

Air in the hydraulic system: Bleed the system. 

Pump to half stroke; turn jack upside down resting 

on the cylinder and then release. 

5. 

The load is dropping: leaking pump valves or worn  

 seals.

Spare parts

Maintenance and repair must always be carried out 

by qualified personnel. Replace worn or broken parts 

with genuine jack manufacturer supplied parts only. All 

major parts may not be provided after discontinuation 

of a model.

Destruction

Oil must be drained off and legally disposed of.
