Description
The garage jack consists of the following main components:
- Pump fixture
- Relief valve (for opening/closing)
- Lifting saddle
- Handle
Figure 1 illustrates the handle and the relief valve mechanism, showing how to insert the handle and operate the valve.
Figure 2 shows the lifting saddle, with an arrow indicating where the load should be placed.
Technical Data
| Specification | Value |
|---|---|
| Lift capacity | 1500 kg |
| Max load | 2000 kg |
| Lifting height | 130 - 300 mm |
| Size (L x W x H) | 42.5 x 19 x 13 cm |
| Weight | 6.8 kg |
Handling and Use
- Before use, open the relief valve by turning it counter-clockwise, but do not unscrew it completely. Insert the handle into the fixture and pump six full strokes to distribute the hydraulic oil in the system.
- IMPORTANT: Check that the lifting saddle is correctly positioned under the intended lift point of the part to be lifted. Contact your dealer if you are unsure.
- To lift: Close the relief valve by turning it clockwise. Ensure the load is centered on the saddle. Insert the handle into the fixture and pump the jack to the desired height.
- To lower the load: Slowly open the relief valve by turning it counter-clockwise.
Safety Instructions
- Read the user instructions carefully before use and save them for future reference.
- It is forbidden to use the jack to lift people.
- Never overload the product (maximum load 2 tonnes).
- The jack is only intended for lifting. Block up the load immediately after lifting, for example, with jack stands.
- Before lifting, check that the parking brake is applied and that the wheels are wedged so that the vehicle cannot roll.
- Always place the jack on a level, hard surface; otherwise, there is a risk of the load falling, which may cause personal injury and/or material damage.
- Always place the middle of the lifting saddle directly under the part to be lifted.
- The product has a factory-set overload valve. Never attempt to modify the overload valve.
Maintenance
- Store the jack in the lowered position when not in use to prevent corrosion on the machined surfaces of the piston rod and piston.
- Always use SAE10 hydraulic oil intended for jacks.
- Clean the product regularly and lubricate moving parts, including spindles, pins, piston bolts, and wheels.
Troubleshooting
Jack does not lower completely after lifting
- Open the filler plug to release any air from the hydraulic system.
- Valves may not be closing completely. Lower the lifting arm and close the release valve. Place one foot on one of the front wheels and lift the lifting arm by hand as high as possible. Open the release valve so that the lifting arm lowers. The jack should then function correctly.
Jack feels unstable under load
- Low hydraulic oil level. Remove the filler plug and fill with clean hydraulic oil for the jack.
- Air may have entered the jack. Open the release valve by turning it one full turn. Lift the rear wheels until the jack is vertical. Pump vigorously with the handle. Close the valve and test the jack.
Jack does not lift to full height
- Low hydraulic oil level. Remove the filler plug and fill with clean hydraulic oil for the jack.
- Open the filler plug to release any air from the hydraulic system.
- Air may have entered the jack. Open the relief valve by turning it one full turn. Lift the rear wheels until the jack is vertical. Pump vigorously with the handle. Close the valve and test the jack.
Jack does not hold load in lifted position
- Valves may not be closing completely. Lower the lifting arm and close the release valve. Place one foot on one of the front wheels and lift the lifting arm by hand as high as possible. Open the release valve so that the lifting arm lowers. The jack should then function correctly.
Jack does not lift load
- Low hydraulic oil level. Remove the filler plug and fill with clean hydraulic oil for the jack.
- Open the filler plug to release any air from the hydraulic system.
- Air may have entered the jack. Open the relief valve by turning it one full turn. Lift the rear wheels until the jack is vertical. Pump vigorously with the handle. Close the valve and test the jack.
Handle moves down under load
- Low hydraulic oil level. Remove the filler plug and fill with clean hydraulic oil for the jack.
- Valves may not be closing completely. Lower the lifting arm and close the release valve. Place one foot on one of the front wheels and lift the lifting arm by hand as high as possible. Open the release valve so that the lifting arm lowers. The jack should then function correctly.
Handle moves up under load
- Valves may not be closing completely. Lower the lifting arm and close the release valve. Place one foot on one of the front wheels and lift the lifting arm by hand as high as possible. Open the relief valve so that the lifting arm drops down. The jack should now work properly.
