3. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
F WARNING! Before lifting ensure that Section 1 safety instructions are strictly followed.
p
3.1. Before using the jack, purge the hydraulic circuit, in order to eliminate any air from
the system, as follows:
a) Fit jack handle over release valve (fig.1.1) and turn anti-clockwise to open valve.
b) Insert jack handle into the handle sleeve (2) and pump several times to ensure full internal lubrication
and to bleed air from the system.
c) When complete place the handle back over the release valve (1) and turn clockwise to close.
F WARNING! Ensure that you prepare vehicle and use jack according to Section 1 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
Check that the supporting ground upon which the jack will stand is level and solid and not tarmacadam.
3.2. Position the jack saddle (4) under the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended lifting point, ensuring that the saddle
is correctly centred beneath the load. Ensure that the jack is positioned to avoid having to operate it from under
the vehicle, and that the handle is free to move up and down.
3.3. Pump the handle up and down using full stroke range so that the saddle quickly reaches the working height.
3.4. Should the jack become overloaded, a safety excess pressure valve will open and stop the vehicle from lifting.
