5. HEALTH AND SAFETY INFORMATION
5.1 HEALTH AND SAFETY INFORMATION
The vehicle to be lifted should never exceed the rated capacity of the jack.
The maximum lift height of the jack indicated on the label should never be exceeded.
The jack should be supported on a solid, level and horizontal surface which is well illuminated and
free of obstructions. Never stand the jack on a surface which may sink, concrete is preferred.
Ensure that there are no persons inside the vehicle to be lifted. Switch off the engine and apply the
brake. Ensure the vehicle, or element to be lifted is protected against any type of sliding. Use
chocks if appropriate. Do not enter the vehicle or start the engine whilst it is supported on the jack
or appropriate stands. The jack is a lifting device only and should never be used to move the
vehicle.
Position the jack under the manufacturer’s recommended lifting point for the vehicle and ensure
that it is not corroded, dirty or greasy. This point should remain centred over the jack saddle. All
off-centred loads can slip and accidents may result.
During raising and lowering of the load, all precautions should be taken to avoid movement of the
vehicle load. Traffic may cause the raised vehicle to rock during roadside use of the jack.
The jack should be positioned so as to avoid the need for the user to introduce any part of his/her
body underneath the vehicle. Never work under a raised vehicle without supporting it with axle
stands or other appropriate methods. Never position any part of your body near the movable
elements of the jack.
It is necessary for the operator to be able to observe the lifting device and the load during all
movements. In the presence of dangerous conditions, such as movement of the vehicle, etc, the
lifting process must be interrupted or stopped immediately.
Ensure that there are no persons or obstructions underneath the vehicle prior to lowering.
As an additional safety measure against overload, the jack is fitted with an overload valve set at
the factory and which should not be adjusted under any circumstances. If the capacity of the jack
is exceeded, the overload valve will stop the lifting operation.
No modifications of any type are advised or allowed with this product.
