Non-compliance with these instructions may result in
injury or damage to the user, the product or the vehicle to
be lifted. Draper Tools accepts no responsibility for
improper use of this jack.
5.1 General Health and Safety
Precautions
• Only authorised personnel who have carefully read
and understood this manual should operate this
product.
• ALWAYS wear adequate protective footwear when
using the jack.
• ALWAYS ensure that the working area is well
illuminated and free from obstructions.
• Keep bystanders at a safe distance during operation.
• Allow a minimum distance of 0.5m between the
vehicle and surrounding objects to allow the vehicle
to tip when lifted.
• The wheels of this product DO NOT lock.
− Ensure that the jack will not roll once positioned
for use.
• Care must be taken when handling and lifting.
− Dropping the jack may result in damage to the
product or personal injury.
• DO NOT modify this product in any way.
• Stay alert to external interference that may cause the
raised load to rock during preparation and operation.
• Ensure that the load to be lifted does not exceed the
maximum capacity specied for the jack.
• When not in use, lower the lifting arm, put the handle
shaft into an upright position and twist it clockwise
until strong resistance is felt.
− This prevents the handle shaft from creating a trip
hazard and holds it in the upright position.
− Alternatively, lower the lifting arm, remove the
handle shaft and lay it at on the oor.
5.2 Preparing the Vehicle to be lifted
WARNING! DO NOT lift the vehicle if it may
result in the spillage of dangerous substances,
including fuel or battery acid.
• Ensure that there is no one inside the vehicle.
• Switch o the engine and apply the handbrake.
• Put the vehicle into gear (for manual transmission) or
“Park” (for automatic transmission).
• Take any necessary precautions to prevent the vehicle
from sliding.
• Grounded wheels should be securely blocked with
wheel chocks.
5. Health and Safety Information

5.3 Correct Use of the Jack
Important: The jack is a lifting device ONLY and should
never be used to move the vehicle. The vehicle to be
lifted should never exceed the rated capacity of the jack.
• ALWAYS bleed the jack piston before use.
• ONLY operate the jack on solid, level and horizontal
surfaces.
− A concrete surface is recommended, where
possible.
− All four wheels of the jack should be in contact
with the operating surface when in use.
WARNING! Never use the jack on any surface
that is slippery or may sink or rock.
• When positioning the jack, ALWAYS use the
manufacturer’s recommended lifting point.
− These points vary between vehicles; consult the
manufacturer’s manual or the Haynes workshop
manual for the specic vehicle information.
• Ensure that the lifting point is not dirty, greasy or
corroded.
• The lifting point must remain centred over the saddle
during raising and lowering; o-centred loads may
slip and cause injury.
• Position the jack so that no part of the operator is
required to be underneath the vehicle at any time
during lifting or lowering.
• Keep clear of all movable parts of the jack mechanism
when in use.
• To prevent overloading, the jack is tted with an
overload valve set at the factory.
Important: The overload valve should not be adjusted
under any circumstances. If the capacity of the jack is
exceeded, the valve will prevent the lifting operation.
• Take all precautions to prevent movement of the
vehicle during raising and lowering.
− Be aware that trac and other external forces may
cause the load to rock if used at the roadside.
• Remain alert and observe the load at all times during
operation.
− Should any dangerous conditions occur, including
unexpected movement of the vehicle, cease all
operation until these conditions have been
rectied.
• NEVER work under a raised vehicle without using the
correct axle supports or other appropriate supporting
methods.
• DO NOT enter the vehicle or start the engine while it is
supported on the jack or axle stand.
• NEVER leave the jack unattended when in use.
• NEVER detach the handle shaft while the jack is
under load.
• ALWAYS ensure that there are no persons or
obstacles beneath the vehicle before lowering.

• Check the jack for bent, broken, cracked or loose
parts and oil leaks; ensure that the wheels (6) rotate
freely and that the bolts (7) are tightly fastened.
WARNING! Do not use the product if defects
are present. If it is suspected that the jack
has been subjected to abnormal loads or has
suered any knocks, withdraw it from
service until the product has been repaired.
7.1.1 Assemble the handle
a. Attach the upper part to the lower part of the handle
shaft by aligning the top handle pin with the hole in
the lower section (g.1)
1 Fig.
b. Insert the complete handle shaft into the handle
socket (5) and secure it with the locking bolt (9)
(g.2).
2 Fig.
(9)
(5)
Important: The handle shaft should be securely
fastened but able to be twisted without excessive
force. Over tightening may prevent movement of the
handle.
7.1.2 Bleed the jack piston
a. Twist the handle shaft anticlockwise to open the
release valve (g.3) and allow the lifting arm to drop
to its lowest position.
3 Fig.
b. Pump the handle shaft down and up at least ten times
using the full stroke range to lubricate the piston and
expel any accumulated air.
4 Fig.
c. Twist the handle shaft clockwise to close the release
valve and until strong resistance is felt to seal the
release valve (Fig.4).

7.1.3 Test the jack
a. Pump the handle shaft down and up to raise the
lifting arm to its highest position.
5 Fig.
b. Observe the saddle to check that it does not drop.
c. If the lifting arm begins to drop without intervention:
d. Twist the handle shaft anticlockwise and allow the
lifting arm to drop to its lowest position.
6 Fig.
e. Slightly loosen the oil ller plug (12) to allow any air
to escape the chamber.
– Escaping air will hiss as it leaves the chamber.
f. Re-tighten the oil ller plug.
7 Fig.
(12)
g. Test the jack again by raising the lifting arm and
ensuring that it does not drop without intervention.
– Repeat this process if necessary. If the issue is not
resolved after several attempts, contact Draper
Tools for assistance.
h. The jack is now ready for use.
7. Operating Instructions
7.2 Raising a Load
a. Position the jack directly beneath the approved
vehicle lifting point.
– See the vehicle manufacturer information for
the approved lifting points.
b. Twist the handle shaft clockwise until strong
resistance is felt.
8 Fig.
c. Pump the handle shaft up and down until contact is
made with the vehicle and check that the saddle (1) is
positioned correctly.
9 Fig.
(1)
d. Pump the handle shaft up to lift the vehicle.
– Use the full stroke range to lift more quickly
• Important: If the jack drops under load,
safely lower the load (see 7.3) and bleed the
piston chamber (see 7.1.2).
e. Immediately secure the raised vehicle with an
appropriate axle stand, placing it as instructed in the
manufacturer's manual.
7.3 Lowering a Load
WARNING! Always ensure that there are no
persons or obstacles beneath the vehicle before
lowering.
a. Gently pump the handle shaft to raise the vehicle
slightly then remove the axle stand once it is safe to
do so.
10 Fig.
b. When the axle stand is clear, carefully twist the
handle shaft anticlockwise to gently lower the load.
Do not turn the handle shaft more than a half turn
at a time during lowering.

Important: The correct oil level is 5mm below the
ller plug hole.
4. If the oil is dirty or needs replacing:
a. Drain any remaining contents into a container.
b. Rell the chamber with new oil as required,
keeping the oil free of dirt.
CAUTION! Excessive quantities of oil
may render the jack inoperable.
5. Replace the oil ller plug and wipe away any excess oil.
6. Return the handle shaft to an upright position.
Always drain the jack of oil before disposal. Dispose
of oil according to local regulations.
8.3 Storing the Jack
When the jack is not in use:
• Detach the handle shaft by unscrewing the locking
bolt (9).
• Ensure that the lifting arm (2) is fully lowered and
apply an anti-corrosion product to the pistons if
appropriate.
• Store the jack in a clean and dry location, out of reach
of children.
