Before using the hydraulic vehicle jack take
precautions to prevent the vehicle from rolling
away. Put the handbrake on, place the vehicle
in gear (with automatic gearboxes set to “P”)
and chock the wheels.
Even with safety measures in place always
remain alert and make a visual check that
the support plate
3 is firmly seated against
the vehicle jacking point.
Make sure that no petrol, battery acid or
any other dangerous substance can flow out
of the vehicle when the vehicle is being lifted.
Check that no person or object is under the
vehicle before you lower it.
Lower the vehicle slowly.
Check that all parts have been assembled
and fitted properly and are undamaged.
Before each use check that the hydraulic
vehicle jack is working properly. Check the
screws and valves of the hydraulic vehicle
jack for correct seating and look out for
hydraulic oil leaks in particular.
Never use the hydraulic vehicle jack for
moving or loading a vehicle. Never use it to
lift a whole vehicle completely off the ground.
Make sure that no-one – especially a
child – is in the vehicle and that everyone is
kept at an adequate distance away from the
vehicle when the hydraulic vehicle jack is in
use.
Never change the setting of the safety val-
ve 8 . It has been set at the factory and must
not be adjusted. Stop using the product if the
safety valve setting is changed.
Before using the vehicle jack, the user must
be made familiar with the device by an expe-
rienced person. The pump force and the
transferred force are equal to approximately
350 N.
If the markings on the product are damaged
enough so as to be illegible then the vehicle
jack must not be used until the markings are
renewed.
No modifications may be carried out to the
hydraulic trolley jack. Any physical modifi-
cation of the device has an effect on the
safety of the device and its compliance with
EN 1494 / A1:2008.
The applied force when using the vehicle
jack must not exceed 350 N. The equates to
a force on the lever of approximately 35 kg.
Before first use
Distribution of the
hydraulic oil
With the release valve 5 closed, insert the
lifting handle 1 into the lifting handle
socket 6 . Use at least 6 firm pumping
movements to charge the hydraulic system
(move lifting handle
1 up and down). This
action distributes the hydraulic oil evenly.
Note: Check that the release valve 5 is closed
by inserting the lifting handle 1 and trying to
turn it clockwise (see Fig. A). When you cannot
turn it any further, the release valve
5 is closed.
Using the jack
Raising the vehicle
With the release valve 5 closed turn the
lifting handle 1 into the lifting handle
socket 6 .
Place the hydraulic vehicle jack under one
of the lifting positions as shown in the owner’s
manual supplied by the vehicle manufacturer.
Ensure that the support plate 3 is centrally
loaded. By moving the lifting handle 1 up
and down, raise the vehicle sufficiently to allow
you to insert axle stands under the vehicle
(see Fig. B).
Allow the vehicle to come down on to the
axle stands by slowly opening the release
valve
5 by turning the lifting handle 1
anticlockwise.
