OPERATING PRINCIPLES When the lowering lever is not depressed, upward strokes of the • Jack handle draws oil from the reservoir tank into the piston cavity. Hydraulic pressure holds the valve closed, which keeps the oil in the piston cavity.
The quick release lever does not need any adjustment; pull the lever away from the body of the Jack to release the clamp. If the clamp no longer applies enough clamping force; close the lever and adjust with a hex key until the hook is adequately clamped.

Use the most appropriate pumping method for the weight and/or your personal geometry when lifting a vehicle. When the Jack is under light load, use the full stroke of the handle. As the weight increases and the Jack raises, consider a smaller pumping action.
Page 21
The Jack is designed for single person use only. If at any time during use operation becomes difficult, STOP. Seek assistance if you cannot maintain control of the handle force during lifting operations.
Always raise an inflated tyre less than 50mm (~2") and only one tyre at a time. Use only certified Jack stands and adhere to their operating instructions. WARNING Do not put any part of your body under the vehicle when Jack is being used as the support device. 22 / JACK Instruction Manual...
(always in pairs). 2. LOWERING Using a slow and smooth action, depress the RED lowering lever. If the Jack has not been used recently, initial force on the lever may be higher to break the seal of the valve. Correct technique when using the lowering lever will ensure safe and controlled descent.
