OPERATION

POSITIONING

Ensure the load is chocked and stable and on firm level ground.

1. Release the handle lock as shown on the right.

2. Turn the release knob counterclockwise, to lower 

the lifting ram

3. Position the jack so that the saddle is directly 

beneath the lifting point and that there are no 
obstacles to prevent a clean lift, also, make sure 
that all personnel are well away from the area, 
before raising the vehicle.

TO LIFT

1. Close the release valve by turning the release knob clockwise firmly. 

2. Operate the jack by pumping the jack handle or foot pedal

• Make sure that the saddle is in full contact with the lifting point and that 

there are no obstacles to prevent a clean lift. 

3. Place axle stands beneath the vehicle.

• Ensure the axle stands are centred about the support point and 

perfectly stable before full weight is taken.

• Ensure that the axle stands are in good condition and fully capable of 

supporting the load.

• Ensure that the axle stands cannot move when supporting the load.

• DO NOT jerk the handle, ensure it lowers slowly and under complete 

control on to the axle stands which must be correctly positioned and 
take the weight evenly.

TO LOWER

1. Lift the vehicle slightly to remove the weight from any supports, 

2. Remove any supports from beneath the vehicle.

3. Open the release valve by SLOWLY turning the release knob counterclockwise.

NOTE:

Ensure this operation is carried out under complete control. DO 
NOT allow the load to drop suddenly as this could damage 
internal components. 

4. Remove the jack from beneath the vehicle.

NOTE:

The jack may move slightly during operation. It is important 
therefore that the immediate vicinity is clean and completely 
free from debris.
