fine adjustment in the height setting (300mm total lift
on the uprights) and gives independent foot adjustment,
particularly useful on uneven ground.

If the wind up jack legs are fitted the following points must
be observed:
1. Check whether the castors fitted are Load Rated
(or Pneumatic)
N.B. For pneumatic (non load bearing) castors
the WUJL system must always be applied prior to
performing any lift. If load rated castors are fitted
the operator can choose whether the castors or
WUJL take the load on each foot of the gantry.
2. When transporting over ground or manoeuvring the
gantry, into position, always have the jack leg in the
'parked' position as in figure 1 right or remove if required
3. Position the gantry for the lift before setting the
heights with the jack
4. Before lifting ensure all jacks are in the correct lifting
position and are secured with locking pins and clips as in
figure 2
5. Manually raise each leg/castor in turn and set the
height by rotating jack handle clockwise
6. Having set the adjustment of all four legs, stand back
from the gantry and ensure that the gantry uprights
are vertical and the beam is horizontal
7. If the ground that the load spreading feet are on is soft
and likely to sink when the load is applied put boards
under the feet to spread the load further.
8. Having performed the lifting operations, return gantry
to it's castors and park the jack leg as in figure 1
