3.2.1 Prepare the vehicle as mentioned in safety instructions (1) above.
3.2.2 Position Jack Saddle under the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended lifting point.
3.2.3 Pump handle with full up and down strokes so the saddle reaches the vehicles lifting point.
3.2.4. Alternatively, use the foot peddle to achieve the same quick rise to the required height.
3.3. LIFTING THE LOAD
3.3.1 Elevate the handle to a position of approximately 1/3 of the up stroke from ground level.
3.3.2 Keep pumping until the load reaches the required height.
3.3.3 Avoid repeated small pump movements at the top of the lifting cylinder.
