1. SAFETY
? Refer to instructions
? Wear safety footwear
Ensure the jack is in sound condition and good working order. Take action for immediate repair or replacement of damaged parts. Use genuine parts only. The use of improper parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
Locate the jack in a suitable, well lit working area.
Keep working area clean and tidy and free from unrelated materials.
Use jack on level and solid ground, preferably concrete.
Avoid tarmacadam as jack may sink in. Chock wheels of vehicle.
Ensure the vehicle handbrake is engaged, engine is switched off and transmission is in gear (or "PARK" if automatic).
Ensure minimum distance of 0.5m between vehicle and static objects such as doors, walls, etc., to allow for vehicle tilting.
Ensure all non-essential persons keep a safe distance whilst the jack is in use.
Ensure there are no passengers in the vehicle.
Place jack under only those lifting points recommended by vehicle manufacturer (see vehicle handbook).
Check that the lifting point is stable and centred on the jack saddle.
Ensure the jack wheels are free to move and that there are no obstructions.
DANGER: Use the jack for lifting only, NOT for supporting the lifted load.
Ensure there are no persons or obstructions beneath the vehicle before lowering.
Use suitable axle stands under the vehicle before proceeding with any task.
Use a qualified person to lubricate and maintain the jack.
Ensure that only hydraulic jack oil is used in the jack.
❌ DO NOT operate the jack if damaged.
❌ DO NOT allow untrained persons to operate the jack.
❌ DO NOT exceed the rated capacity of the jack.
❌ DO NOT allow the vehicle to move during lifting or lowering, or use the jack to move the vehicle.
❌ DO NOT jack vehicle if there is a risk of spillage of fuel, battery acid, or other dangerous substances.
❌ DO NOT work under the vehicle until appropriately rated axle stands have been correctly positioned.
❌ DO NOT use the jack for purposes other than that for which it is intended.
❌ DO NOT top up hydraulic system with brake fluid. Use hydraulic jack oil only.
❌ DO NOT adjust the safety overload valve.
When not in use store jack, fully lowered, in a safe, dry, childproof area.

6. OPERATION
WARNING! Before use ensure you have read, understood and applied Section 1 safety precautions.
IMPORTANT: Before use, the operator is to visually inspect the jack for cracked welds, damaged or missing parts or hydraulic leaks.
6.1. RAISING A VEHICLE
We recommend that efforts of raising the load shall be reduced by the use of assistance during this operation.
- Ensure that the jack and the vehicle are on a hard, level surface.
- Always ensure that the vehicle handbrake is engaged and that the vehicle wheels are chocked.
- Consult the vehicle manual to determine the location of jacking points.
- Position the jack under a suitable lifting point.
- Turn the release valve clockwise, to the closed position (Fig.2). DO NOT over-tighten.
- Raise the vehicle to the desired height by pumping the handle up and down.
- Place axle stands beneath the locations recommended by the vehicle manufacturer.
- Turn the release valve slowly counter-clockwise to lower the vehicle on to the axle stands.
6.3. LOWERING A VEHICLE
- Turn the release valve clockwise to the closed position.
- Pump the handle to raise the vehicle off the axle stands.
- Remove the axle stands from beneath the vehicle.
- Turn the release valve slowly counter-clockwise to lower the vehicle to the ground.
NOTE: When not in use, ALWAYS leave the saddle and ram fully retracted.
Diagram Descriptions (Operation Section)
Fig.2 - Jack Valve Operation: Shows two states of the release valve:
- "To raise the jack - Close Release Valve" with the valve shown in the 'Close' position.
- "To lower the jack - Open Release Valve" with the valve shown in the 'Open' position.
7. MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT: Only fully qualified personnel should attempt maintenance or repair.
7.1. MONTHLY MAINTENANCE
Lubrication is critical to jacks. Any restriction due to dirt or rust can cause either slow or extremely rapid jack movement, causing damage to the internal components. To keep the jack well lubricated, carry out the following steps:
- Lubricate the ram, all of the pivot points, the linkages and the saddle and pump mechanism with light oil.
- Grease the wheel bearings and axles.
- Keep all jack surfaces and warning labels clean.
- Check and maintain the ram oil level (Section 7.3).
7.2. THREE MONTHLY MAINTENANCE
- At three monthly intervals, check the ram for any signs of rust or corrosion. Clean the ram as required and wipe with an oiled cloth.
7.3. CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL
- Fully retract the ram by turning the release valve counter-clockwise.
- With the jack in the level position, remove the oil filler plug (Fig.4).
- The oil should be level with the bottom of the oil filler hole. If it is not, top up with clean hydraulic jack oil.
- Replace the oil filler plug and check the jack operation.
- Purge air from the hydraulic unit as required. Refer to Section 5.
NOTE: Always store the jack in the fully lowered position. This will protect critical areas from excessive corrosion.
