 WaRninG! Before lifting ensure chapter 1 safety instructions are strictly followed.
3.1. Before using the jack, purge the hydraulic circuit, in order to eliminate any air from
the system that may have accumulated during transit, as follows:
a) Insert 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.
 WaRninG! Ensure you prepare vehicle and use jack according to chapter 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 the saddle
is correctly centred beneath the load. Ensure 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.
