Before each use check that the hydraulic vehicle 
jack is working properly. Check the screws and 
valves of the hydraulic vehicle jack for correct 
seating and look out for hydraulic oil leaks in 
particular. 
J
Never use the hydraulic vehicle jack for moving 
or loading a vehicle. Never use it to lift a whole 
vehicle completely off the ground.

Make sure that no-one – especially a child – is 
in the vehicle and that everyone is kept at an 
adequate distance away from the vehicle when 
the hydraulic vehicle jack is in use. 
J
Never change the setting of the safety valve
4
.
It is preset to the correct setting in the factory 
and must never be readjusted later.

Raising the vehicle
CAUTION! RISK TO LIFE! Check that the
vehicle jack and axle stands are in an undamaged 
condition before you use them. Ensure that the 
hydraulic vehicle jack is used only in combination 
with axle stands. Have your axle stands to hand be-
fore raising the vehicle. If you do not use axle stands, 
the vehicle may tip over and cause a risk to life.
Follow these steps:
j
Ensure that the rod
7
is fully lowered and the
extension screw
2
is completely screwed in
before you put away the vehicle jack.
j
Place the hydraulic vehicle jack in the desired 
position. In choosing the position, observe the 
provisions of the owner‘s manual for your vehicle.
j
If necessary screw out the extending screw
2
until it comes into contact with the underside of 
the vehicle (Fig. B).
j
Connect the rod

to
extend the lifting handle.

shearing and crushing injury.
j
Guide the end of the lifting handle
6
into the
lifting handle socket
3
and pump the vehicle
up to the desired height (Fig. C).
j
Place the axle stands under the designated 
jacking points under the vehicle.
j
Relieve the load from the vehicle jack by plac-
ing the rod 
7
with the oval opening on to the
release valve
5
, then turning the rod
7
slightly
anticlockwise before turning it back immediately. 
The support plate 
1
drops slightly and the
vehicle is held on the axle stands.
Q
Lowering the vehicle
DANGER TO LIFE! Check that no person or 
object is under the vehicle before you lower it.
CAUTION! Lower the vehicle slowly, other-
wise there is the danger of injury and damage 
to the product or to the vehicle.
j
First raise the vehicle slightly in order to be able 
to remove the axle stands. Proceed as described 
in the section on „Raising the vehicle“.
j
Remove the axle stands.
j
Place the rod
7
with oval opening on to the
release valve
5
and turn the rod slowly anti-
clockwise (Fig. A). The vehicle is lowered slowly.
Note: The more quickly the rod
7
is turned
anticlockwise, the faster the vehicle is lowered. 
Therefore you should proceed very cautiously 
at first in order to get a feeling for the correct 
speed.
