OPERATION
TO LIFT
1. Turn the knob on the handle clockwise to close the release valve.
2. Put the handle lock in to the
‘Unlocked’ position as shown.
3. 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 is nothing that
will prevent a clean lift.
4. Put axle stands below the support
points on the vehicle.
• Make sure that the axle stand is centred below the support point
and are stable before full weight of the vehicle is taken on it.
• Make sure that the axle stands are in good condition and that they
can hold the load.
• Ensure that the axle stands cannot move when supporting the load.
• DO NOT jerk the handle, make sure that it lowers slowly and in a
controlled manner on to the axle stands
TO LOWER
1. Lift the vehicle to remove the weight from any supports.
2. Remove the axle stands or other supports from below the vehicle.
3. SLOWLY turn the knob on the handle counterclockwise to open the release
valve.
NOTE:
This operation must be done very slowly and in full control.
DO NOT let the load lower suddenly, this could damage internal
components.
4. Remove the jack from below the vehicle.
NOTE:
The jack can move slightly during operation. It is important that
the area is clean and free from all debris.
