- Ensure the vehicle's parking brake is engaged and the wheels are chocked before lifting.
- Position the jack only at the vehicle manufacturer's recommended lifting points. Consult your vehicle's owner's manual.
- Keep hands, feet, and other body parts clear of moving parts and the area under the load.
- Do not modify the jack or use it for purposes other than its intended use.
- If the jack shows signs of damage or malfunction, do not use it. Contact qualified service personnel.

- Close the release valve by turning it clockwise. The jack is now ready for use.
6. Operation
6.1. Lifting the Vehicle
- Prepare Vehicle: Park the vehicle on a firm, level surface. Engage the parking brake and place wheel chocks on the wheels that will remain on the ground.
- Position Jack: Locate the vehicle manufacturer's recommended lifting point. Place the hydraulic jack directly under this point, ensuring the saddle is centered and making full contact with the lifting surface.
- Close Release Valve: Insert the slotted end of the lifting handle onto the release valve and turn it clockwise until it is firmly closed. Do not overtighten.
- Lift Load: Insert the handle into the pump sleeve. Pump the handle up and down steadily to raise the jack ram and lift the vehicle to the desired height.
- Secure Load: Immediately after lifting, place appropriately rated jack stands under the vehicle's designated support points. Slowly lower the vehicle onto the jack stands (see 6.2 Lowering the Vehicle) and remove the hydraulic jack. Never work under a vehicle supported only by the jack.
6.2. Lowering the Vehicle
- Prepare for Lowering: If the vehicle is on jack stands, slightly raise the vehicle with the hydraulic jack to relieve pressure from the jack stands. Remove the jack stands.
- Open Release Valve: Slowly and carefully turn the release valve counter-clockwise using the slotted end of the lifting handle. The vehicle will begin to descend. Control the descent speed by adjusting how much you open the valve.
- Fully Lower: Continue to open the valve until the vehicle is fully lowered to the ground.
- Remove Jack: Once the vehicle is fully lowered and stable, remove the hydraulic jack.
7. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your hydraulic jack.
- Cleaning: Keep the jack clean and free of dirt, grease, and debris. Wipe down the ram and pump mechanism after each use.
- Lubrication: Periodically lubricate pivot points and moving parts with light machine oil.
- Hydraulic Fluid: Check the hydraulic fluid level periodically. If low, add high-quality hydraulic jack oil. Do not use brake fluid or motor oil. (Note: Access to fluid reservoir may vary by model and may require professional service).
- Storage: Store the jack in a dry, clean place with the ram fully retracted to prevent corrosion and extend seal life.
- Inspection: Before each use, inspect the jack for any signs of damage, wear, or leaks. Pay attention to the ram, seals, and base.
8. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Jack will not lift load. | Release valve is open. Low hydraulic fluid. Air in hydraulic system. Overload. | Close release valve fully. Check and refill fluid. Bleed air from system (see Setup). Reduce load; do not exceed 3000 kg. |
| Jack lifts slowly or erratically. | Low hydraulic fluid. Air in hydraulic system. | Check and refill fluid. Bleed air from system (see Setup). |
| Jack lowers too quickly. | Release valve opened too far. Internal leak. | Control descent by slowly opening valve. Contact qualified service personnel. |
| Jack will not lower. | Release valve stuck or not fully open. | Ensure valve is fully open. Check for obstructions. |
