Immediately after the lift, the vehicle must be supported with extra stands, for example with jack stands.
Have the extra stands nearby before lifting the vehicle.
4. OPERATION
WARNING! Ensure that you read, understand and apply all instructions. The owner and/or operator is
responsible for providing maintenance and maintaining the jack in good working order. The jack must
be inspected according to instructions before each use.
Before first use
-
The jack is ftted with a transport clip which must be
removed before first use: press the handle socket down
and then pull the retaining clip out from the hole in the
base.
Assemblying the handle
1. Assemble the handle by inserting the upper handle into the lower handle. The detent ball will lock the two
pieces together.
2. Remove the handle socket screw from the handle socket. Put the handle into the handle socket hole en-
gaging the universal joint of the release valve. Ensure the handle is seated completely into the socket,
then tighten the handle socket screw.
Lifting the vehicle
WARNING! Never lift a vehicle with its engine running or start a lifted vehicle.
1. With the lifting arm completely lowered, position the jack to the lifting point under the vehicle.
2. Turn the release valve clockwise to closed position. Do not overtighten.
3. Place the handle into the socket and slowly pump the handle until the lifting saddle contacts the lifting
point under the vehicle.
4. Inspect the position of the lifting saddle and make sure it is centered and supports the lifting point properly.
5. Continue pumping the handle until the vehicle is lifted to desired height. Check the position of the lifting
saddle and make sure the lifting point cannot slip off the lifting saddle.
6. Place jack stands beneath the vehicle at locations recommended by the vehicle manufacturer. Do not get
under the vehicle without jack stands. Jack stands are not to be used to simultaneously support both ends
or one side of the vehicle.
7. Turn the release valve SLOWLY counterclockwise to lower the vehicle down onto the jack stands.
Working with a lifted vehicle
-
Working near a lifted vehicle is dangerous. Do not move the jack while it is supporting a vehicle. Avoid
working under a lifted vehicle or placing any part of your body beneath it. Keep in mind torque forces when
loosening bolts or nuts for example, as a sudden move could cause the vehicle to drop from the jack
stands if it is not properly supported. Do not try to start a lifted vehicle.
Lowering the vehicle
WARNING! Before lowering the vehicle, make sure the area under and near the vehicle is clear of all persons
and objects.
1. Reposition the jack under the same lifting point as used earlier to lift the vehicle.
2. Turn the release valve clockwise to closed position. Pump the handle until the lifting saddle contacts the
lifting point under the vehicle.
3. Make sure the lifting saddle is centered under the lifting point. Pump the handle slowly to lift the vehicle off
from the jack stands.
4. Remove the jack stands and set them far away from the vehicle.
