4.1 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.
• 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.
• When not in use, lower the lifting arm, put the pump
handle into an upright position and twist it clockwise
until strong resistance is felt.
− This prevents the pump handle from creating a
trip hazard and holds it in the upright position.
− Alternatively, lower the lifting arm, remove the
pump handle and lay it at on the oor.
• This jack does not emit noise that exceeds a level of
70dB(A) during operation.
4.2 Preparing the Vehicle to be Lifted

4. Health and Safety Information
4.3 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.
WARNING! Never use the jack on any surface
that is slippery or may sink or rock.
3 Fig.
• 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.
4 Fig.
• 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.
5 Fig.
• 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.
• ALWAYS ensure that there are no persons or

parts, and oil leaks.
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.
2. Bleed the jack piston:
a. Assemble the handle, ensuring that all locking pins
locate securely in place.
b. Place the grooved end of the handle over the
release valve.
c. Carefully twist the release handle anticlockwise to
open the release valve and allow the ram to drop.
Important: If the ram does not fully retract, use
your foot to force it into its lowest position and
drive any air from the piston.
6 Fig.
d. Insert the handle into the handle socket.
e. Pump the handle down and up at least 15 times to
lubricate the piston and expel any accumulated air.
7 Fig.
f. Place the handle over the release valve and twist
clockwise until strong resistance is met, closing
the valve.
CAUTION! DO NOT overtighten the valve as
this may damage the seal.
8 Fig.
3. Test the jack:
a. Pump the handle down and up to raise the lifting
arm to its highest position.
b. Observe the saddle to check that it does not drop.
4. If the piston begins to drop without intervention:
a. Open the release valve anticlockwise and return
the piston to its lowest position.
b. Insert a long, narrow, plain-slot screwdriver into
the oil ll plug opening (5) and carefully push the
top of the ll plug downwards to break the seal.
Important: DO NOT attempt to pierce the ll plug
or press it deeper into the opening as this may
damage the plug.
c. Tighten the piston chamber ll plug.
