  2. Pump the lifting rod vigorously several times.
  3. Turn the lifting rod clockwise to close the release valve.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1. Lifting a Load

1. Prepare the Vehicle: Park the vehicle on a hard, level surface. Engage the parking brake and block the wheels that will remain on the ground.
2. Position the Jack: Locate the vehicle's designated lifting points (refer to your vehicle's owner's manual). Position the jack's support saddle directly under the lifting point.
3. Close the Release Valve: Turn the lifting rod clockwise until the release valve is fully closed. Do not overtighten.
4. Lift the Load: Pump the lifting rod up and down to raise the support saddle and lift the vehicle. Continue pumping until the vehicle reaches the desired height.
5. Secure with Jack Stands: Immediately place appropriately rated jack stands under the vehicle's designated support points. Slowly lower the vehicle onto the jack stands by carefully turning the lifting rod counter-clockwise. Once the vehicle is securely resting on the jack stands, remove the trolley jack.

5.2. Lowering a Load

If the vehicle is on jack stands, first lift it slightly off the stands using the trolley jack before lowering.

1. Clear the Area: Ensure no one is under or near the vehicle.
2. Position the Jack: If removed, reposition the jack's support saddle under the lifting point.
3. Slowly Open Release Valve: Slowly and carefully turn the lifting rod counter-clockwise to open the release valve. The vehicle will begin to descend. Control the descent speed by adjusting how much you open the valve.
4. Fully Lower: Continue lowering until the vehicle is fully on the ground.
5. Remove Jack: Once the vehicle is stable on the ground, remove the trolley jack.

6. Maintenance and Storage

• Cleaning: Clean the jack regularly with a damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals.
• Lubrication: Periodically lubricate moving parts and pivot points with light machine oil.
• Hydraulic Oil: Check the hydraulic oil level periodically. If low, refill with a high-quality hydraulic jack oil. Consult a qualified technician if unsure.
• Inspection: Before each use, inspect the jack for any signs of damage, leaks, or wear. Do not use a damaged jack.
• Storage: Store the jack in a dry, clean place, preferably with the ram fully retracted to protect the hydraulic cylinder.
