2. INTRODUCTION
Heavy-duty chassis with strengthening anges along the top edge for extra torsional rigidity under load. Proled lifting arm allows low
clearance height of just 85mm making this unit suitable for sports and custom cars. Fitted with heavy-duty one-piece hydraulic unit with
pump-through action preventing handle locking at maximum ram extension. White saddle aids positioning under vehicle and safety
valve prevents overloading. Type A rubber jack pad included.
3. SPECIFICATION
4. OPERATION
4.1. BEFORE FIRST USE
4.1.1. Before using jack, purge hydraulic unit in order to eliminate any air in the system.
Place handle onto the release valve nut as shown in fig.1 and open the valve by
turning the handle anti-clockwise, place the handle back into the jacking socket and
pump for 20 repetitions. When complete, close the release valve by turning the valve
nut clockwise. Place a few drops of hydraulic jack oil onto the pump piston and pump
the handle several times to distribute the oil. Thoroughly lubricate all moving parts.
4.2. GENERAL JACKING
WARNING! Before lifting ensure Section 1 safety instructions are read and
understood.
4.2.1. Prepare the vehicle as mentioned in the safety instructions ensuring the ground on
which the jack is to stand is level and solid (not tarmacadam).
4.2.2. Position the jack saddle under the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended lifting point.
4.3. JACKING THE VEHICLE
4.3.1. Close the release valve using the handle, Place the handle into the handle socket
and commence pumping handle up and down using maximum strokes until vehicle
has been lifted to the required height.
4.3.2. Should the jack become overloaded, a safety excess pressure valve will open and
stop the vehicle from lifting.
WARNING! The jack is a lifting device only and must not be used to support the load.
Use correctly rated axle stands to support the load.
4.4. LOWERING THE VEHICLE
WARNING! Ensure there are no persons or obstacles beneath the vehicle, or in the
path of its descent.
4.4.1. If using axle stands, raise the jack high enough for the stands to be easily removed.
Then place the handle onto the release valve nut and turn anti-clockwise, very slowly,
to open the valve.
4.4.2. The lowering speed is controlled by descent control so lowering is gradual rather than
being dropped suddenly.
5. MAINTENANCE
5.1. Jacks shall be maintained and repaired in accordance with the manufacturers
instructions. Such maintenance and repair shall be carried out by qualied persons.
5.2. No modications shall be carried out which adversely aect the compliance of the
jack with the standard, see specication section.

5.6. Before each use check for broken, cracked, bent, or loose parts, or any visible damage to ram, pump, saddle, lifting arm, frame and all
parts including nuts, bolts, pins and other fasteners. If any suspect item is found remove jack from service and take necessary action to
remedy the problem.
8 DO NOT use the jack if believed to have been subjected to abnormal load or shock load.
5.7. Periodically check the pump piston and the ram for signs of corrosion. Clean exposed areas with a clean oiled cloth.
5.8. After one year the oil should be replaced in order to extend the life of the jack. Use hydraulic jack oil only.

6.1. IF JACK WILL NOT LIFT LOAD
6.1.1. Oil level may be low. Check oil level as described in section 5.6. and top up if necessary.
6.1.2. To ensure complete distribution of the oil go through the following procedure:
Close the release valve and manually pull the lifting arm up to its full height.
Open the release valve and, by stepping on the saddle, force the arm to lower as rapidly as possible. Repeat this operation three or
four times.
This procedure also thoroughly ushes the valves and in most cases will restore the jack to full working order. The jack may have air
trapped in the system. To eliminate trapped air open the release valve and pump the handle through its full stroke six times. Close
release valve.
6.1.3. After several months of service the pump ‘O’ ring seal may become worn. If this is suspected take the jack to an approved agent for
servicing.
6.1.4. The release valve may be held open by dirt on the valve seat. Flush by pulling the lifting arm up and down several times manually while
the release valve is open.
6.1.5. The load is heavier than 2 tonnes and the overload valve has operated. Remove load obtain higher capacity jack. The overload valve is factory
set and should not be altered.
6.2. IF JACK WILL NOT HOLD THE LOAD
6.2.1. The discharge valve may be held open by dirt on the seat. Perform the procedure described in section 6.1.2. If this does not solve the
problem take the jack to an approved agent for servicing.
6.2.2. Where a jack has received heavy service the ram cup seal may become worn. If this is suspected take the jack to an approved agent
for servicing.
6.2.3. Release valve partially open. Fully close release valve.
6.3. IF JACK WILL NOT LOWER COMPLETELY
6.3.1. The lifting arm return spring may be broken or unhooked. Replace return spring.
6.3.2. Jack requires lubrication. Clean and oil all moving parts in the lifting arm mechanism.
6.3.3. Hydraulic unit is overlled with oil. Drain o excess oil.
6.4. JACK WILL NOT LIFT FULL 2 TONNE LOAD
6.4.1. Piston ‘O’ ring seal may have become worn. If this is suspected take the jack to an approved agent for servicing.
