4. Place the operating lever in the jacking port and pump the operating lever 

to raise the saddle until it reaches the jacking point.

5. Check 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.

6. Pump the handle to raise the vehicle to the required level.

• If, at any time, the jack feels spongy, follow the bleeding procedure 

under Maintenance.

7. Position suitable, good quality axle stands directly beneath the supporting 

points on the vehicle. Place the operating lever over the release valve and 
very gently twist the operating lever anti-clockwise to lower the load onto 
the stands.

8. Check constantly, preferably with an assistant, that the vehicle is resting 

correctly on the axle stands and that the stands are stable before the 
weight is taken.

9. Place the operating lever over the release valve and VERY slowly turn the 

handle anti-clockwise to lower the load on to the axle stands.

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

perfectly stable before full weight is taken.

10. To stop it lowering at any point, turn the operating lever clockwise again. 

Always avoid a rapid descent by turning the operating lever slowly.

NOTE:

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

11. Completely remove the jack from the vehicle.
