IMPORTANT: READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. NOTE THE SAFE OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS, WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS.
USE THIS JACK CORRECTLY AND WITH CARE FOR THE PURPOSE FOR WHICH IT IS INTENDED. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY CAUSE DAMAGE
AND/OR PERSONAL INJURY AND WILL INVALIDATE THE WARRANTY. RETAIN THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE USE.
1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Regularly inspect and lubricate the jack to ensure it is in good working order and condition. DO NOT use the jack if damaged or a fault is
suspected - check Section 5 Troubleshooting. If necessary, immediately repair or replace damaged parts.
Use recommended parts only, the use of unauthorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate your warranty.
Ensure the work area is clean, tidy and free from unrelated materials and has adequate lighting.
Use jack on level and solid ground, preferably concrete. Avoid tarmacadam since jack may sink in.
Park the vehicle and apply hand brake (if automatic, place in "Park" mode). Switch off the engine and place chocks under the wheels.
Ensure a minimum distance of 0.5m between vehicle and static objects such as doors, walls, etc. to allow for tilting during jacking.
Ensure all persons are out of the vehicle before jacking. DO NOT enter vehicle whilst it is supported on the jack or axle stands.
Check vehicle weight and recommended lifting points by referring to the vehicle owner's manual. Ensure the lifting point is not corroded.
Check lifting point is centred and stable on jack saddle (off centre loads can slip). Position jack so as to avoid operating it from under vehicle.
DANGER! Use the jack for lifting only, NOT for supporting the lifted load. ALWAYS USE ADEQUATELY RATED AXLE STANDS.
Keep hands etc. clear of moving parts during raising and lowering of the vehicle.
DANGER! Roadside wheel changing is hazardous. Be extra vigilant, you may not be able to avoid jacking on tarmacadam. Get everyone
out of vehicle. NEVER go under vehicle. Traffic may cause vehicle to rock. Use hazard warning lights. If in doubt call professional help.
When changing a wheel, slightly loosen wheel nuts/bolts prior to jacking vehicle. Screw wheel nuts/bolts back before lowering vehicle. Finally
tighten when vehicle is fully lowered.
Use a qualified person to lubricate and maintain the jack. Confirm that only recommended hydraulic jack oil is used during maintenance.
DO NOT exceed the rated capacity of the jack and DO NOT operate the jack beyond its maximum pump stroke.
WARNING! DO NOT allow the vehicle to move, or try to start the engine, when the vehicle is jacked up.
DO NOT jack a vehicle if it may result in the spillage of fuel, battery acid, or other dangerous substances.
DO NOT place any part of your body under vehicle whilst it is supported by the jack. Wait until adequately rated axle stands have
been correctly positioned.
DO NOT use jack to support extensions or cradles. DO NOT modify jack in any way. DO NOT use the jack for any other purpose.
DO NOT top up jack with brake fluid. Use hydraulic oil only. DO NOT adjust the safety overload valve (fig. 1.5).
Ensure there are no persons or obstructions beneath the vehicle before lowering.
Clean and securely stow the jack with the ram in the down position. DO NOT leave the ram extended. Ensure stowage area is dry.
WARNING! Remember, it is very dangerous to go under a vehicle supported by a jack even if additional supports are used.
DO NOT go under a vehicle unless it is supported by adequately rated axle stands. NOTE: Seek advice before jacking caravans or trailers.

3. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING! Before lifting ensure Section 1 Safety Instructions are strictly followed.
3.1. Before using the jack, purge the hydraulic system, in order to eliminate any air that may
have accumulated during transit, 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) Fit jack handle back over the release valve (1) and turn clockwise to close.
3.2. Lifting
WARNING! Ensure you prepare vehicle and use jack according to Section 1 Safety Instructions.
3.2.1. Check that the ground upon which the jack will stand is level and solid.
3.2.2. Position the jack saddle (4) under the vehicle manufacturer's recommended lifting point. Position jack so as
to avoid having to operate it from under the vehicle and so that the handle can be moved up and down
without hitting any part of the vehicle.
3.2.3. Using the screw extension as necessary (not SJ30T), raise the saddle to the lifting point. Ensure that the
saddle is correctly centred beneath the lifting point.
