5.1.3 turn the handle clockwise to close the release valve (1500HQ, 2000HQ & 2000LEQ) or allow the handle to rotate back into its normal
position (2000LQ, 3000LQ, 5000LQ) and pump the jack to the required height. the super rocket Lift feature will rapidly raise the
saddle to the vehicle lifting point with the minimum of handle strokes.

handle clockwise (2000LQ, 3000LQ, 5000LQ).
5.2.2 When the lifting arm is in its lowest position, remove the jack from under the vehicle.
