1.1.
GENERAL SAFETY
Visually inspect the jack before each use to ensure it is sound and fit for use. 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.
WARNING! If any part of jack fails to work properly, discontinue use and have repaired or replaced. Never attempt
to repair jack while it is under load.
WARNING! Ensure the jack is supported on a suitable base so it will not slip, shift or sink during operations. Ensure
the load is properly supported on the lift point to prevent shifting. If required, use appropriately rated clevis pins,
chains, bolts, ropes etc, through beam holes to assist operation.
Place complete lifting toe of jack under object to be lifted. You can pull the lifting head up to the point of lift (or strain)
without pumping handle.
Always lock and/or stabilise the load to be lifted. The jack will not act as a load stabiliser.
Always keep a firm grip on pumping handle and support beam.
DANGER! Ensure that the lifting head climbing pin is located and locked in a hole in the steel beam before
releasing the pumping handle otherwise the lifting head will automatically lower, causing the handle to move up
and down rapidly presenting a risk of serious or fatal injury.
All persons shall be clear of load being raised, lowered or pulled. Never work under a raised load without using
additional supports such as axle stands. As an extra precaution insert a M12 steel bolt (not included) through hole
in steel beam immediately below lifting mechanism, to act as a safety pin.
WARNING! If you exceed rated capacity, the shear pin will break and the handle will drop.
DANGER! Jack must have a minimum load of 50kg (110lbs) to activate the lowering step by step, otherwise lifting
head will drop.
Ensure there are no persons or obstructions beneath a load before lowering.
DANGER! DO NOT use additional devices on handle to provide extra leverage. Use hand power only.
DO NOT allow untrained persons to operate the jack.
DO NOT operate the jack if damaged.
DO NOT exceed the rated capacity of the jack, see specification below.
WARNING! DO NOT place an excessive strain on load, equipment or supports when using jack for pulling or
tensioning.
DO NOT push lifted load off jack.
DANGER! DO NOT use the jack for any purpose other than for which it is designed.
Put handle in upright position before tripping the reversing latch to lower load.
KEEP JACK CLEAN AND OILED. Front and back of rail must be kept rust free. Store in a safe, dry childproof
area.
1.2.
JACKING UP A VEHICLE
IMPORTANT: Apply safety instructions as in 1.1. above with the following additions or exceptions:
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 axle stands have been correctly positioned.
DO NOT allow the vehicle to move while supported by the jack, or use the jack to move the vehicle.
Place chocks under 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.
Only place jack under those lifting points recommended by vehicle manufacturer (see vehicle hand book).
DANGER: Use the jack for lifting only, NOT for supporting the lifted load.
Use suitable capacity axle stands under the vehicle before proceeding with any task.
Ensure there are no persons or obstructions beneath the vehicle before lowering.
Check the lifting point is stable and correctly positioned on the lifting pad.
Ensure there are no passengers in the vehicle.
Keep children and unauthorised persons away from the work area.
