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.

is fully lowered and the
extension screw

is completely screwed in
before you put away the vehicle jack.

Place the hydraulic vehicle jack in the desired
position. In choosing the position, observe the
provisions of the owner‘s manual for your vehicle.

until it comes into contact with the underside of
the vehicle (Fig. B).

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.

with oval opening on to the
release valve

and turn the rod slowly anti-
clockwise (Fig. A). The vehicle is lowered slowly.

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.
