Special safety rules

Non-observance of the following 

instructions can cause personal injuries 

and/or damage to the vehicle.

•  Place the saddle of the jack only in the spot 

designed for this purpose. For the relevant 

jacking points please refer to your car 

instructions.

•  The maximum load indicated on the jack must 

never be exceeded.

•  The jack must be used as a lifting device only.

•  Always place the jack on a hard and level 

surface.

•  Always protect the car from rolling away. 

Before jacking up the car, place chocks behind 

and in front of the wheels remaining on the 

ground, if necessary. Put the car in first gear or 

put on the handbrake to further block the car.

•  Make sure to place the jack in such a way that 

your hand is not underneath the car when 

jacking it up.

•  Make sure the jack is horizontal.

•  For your own safety, before working or 

crawling underneath the car jack up the car 

and support the shafts.

•  Before using the shaft supports make sure 

they are in good condition.

3. Operation

Lifting

Turn the screw of the relief valve clockwise as far 

as possible. The trolley jack is now ready to lift.

Put the trolley jack horizontally on a flat surface,  

put the lever in the proper hole and start pumping 

by moving the lever up and down.

Shaft supports

After jacking up the car the shaft supports should 

be installed. Lower the car by turning the the 

screw of the release valve anticlockwise, until the 

car rests on the supports. Never work under a car 

which only rests on the trolley jack.

Lowering

After the work is finished, the car is lifted again 

until the shaft supports are clear. Remove the 

shaft supports. Turn the screw of the relief valve 

anticlockwise and the car will be lowered. The 

further the screw is turned anticlockwise the faster 

the car will be lowered.

4. Maintenance

Regular maintenance of your trolley jack 

prevents problems!

•  Once a month the wheels, shafts and piston 

rods should be lubricated with lubricating oil 

and grease on the pivots of the lifting rods.

•  The tank containing hydraulic oil is a closed 

tank which usually does not require 

maintenance. When frequently used, but at 

least on ce a year, the oil should be changed. 

For this purpose the top of the tank is fitted 

with an oil drain plug.

Only hydraulic oil should be used for 

refilling. Do not use engine or brake fluid.
