SAFETY

Before use ensure the Bottle Jack is in good working order and not damaged. If the Bottle Jack

is damaged remove from service immediately. Damaged parts should be repaired or replaced

before the unit is used again. This should be undertaken using genuine parts by a trained

technician.

Ensure the load is within the lifting capacity of the jack.

●

Ensure the jack is used on level ground, preferably concrete. Avoid soft surfaces like

●

Tarmacadam as the jack may sink.

Ensure all but essential personnel keep a safe distance while the jack is in use.

●

Ensure the work area is well lit, clean and free from clutter.

●

Ensure work area floor is sound and not slippery so a firm footing can be maintained.

●

Ensure only competent personnel operate the hydraulic jack.

●

Ensure the area is clear before lowering the load

●

Ensure the lifting point is centred and stable on the jack saddle – to avoid loads slipping.

●

If using the jack on a Vehicle:-

●

Ensure the vehicle weight is within capacity and that the recommended lifting points

●

are used – see owner's manual. Position the Jack to avoid operating it from under the

vehicle.

Ensure jacking the vehicle will not result in a leakage of fuel or other dangerous fluids.

●

Ensure wheel nuts are slightly loosened before jacking, and only lightly tightened

●

before lowering. Fully tighten the nuts to the specified torque when the car is on the

ground. This process avoids moving the vehicle while it is raised. Check wheel nut

torque again after a short journey.

Ensure the hand brake is applied (in Park for Automatics), engine switched off and

●

chocks placed under the wheels.

Ensure a minimum clearance of 0.5m between the vehicle and any other objects to

●

allow for raising and tilting during jacking.

Ensure all occupants are out of the vehicle before lifting and never let anybody in the

●

vehicle while on the jack or axle stands.

Ensure suitable axle stands, correctly positioned, are used to support the vehicle

●

before placing any part of your body under the vehicle.

DANGER – Changing the wheel at the roadside is hazardous. Take extra care -avoid

jacking on Tarmac, traffic may cause the vehicle to rock, use hazard warning lights and

NEVER go under the vehicle. If in doubt seek professional help – especially with caravans

or trailers.

DANGER

Use the jack for lifting only – never to support the lifted load for other work tasks eg welding..

DO NOT exceed the rated capacity Jack or exceed its maximum pump stroke.

●

DO NOT allow untrained personnel to operate the Jack.

●

DO NOT remove labels from the Jack – replace any damaged or unclear labels.

●

DO NOT modify the Jack or use it for any purpose it was not intended for.

●

DO NOT use when under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication that may cause

●

drowsiness.

DO NOT top the Jack up with Brake fluid. USE only the recommended hydraulic oil.

●

DO NOT use the lever hoist if any chains are kinked or knotted.

IMPORTANT-CAUTION

Install, operate and maintain this equipment in accordance with these instructions. Failure to do so

may lead to personal injury, damage to the Jack and invalidation of the warranty.

Take immediate action to repair or replace damaged parts by contacting your supplier. Ensure that

all accessory lifting devices are suitably certified. If Jack is damaged, remove from service

immediately.

Read thoroughly the contents before use and keep this handbook for future use.

OPERATION

The Bottle Jack may have accumulated air during transit, to ensure this is eliminated by purging

the system as follows. Open the release valve (1) and pump the system several times. Close the

release valve (1) .

LIFTING

●

1. Before operating estimate the weight of the load. Do not operate the jack

above its rated load.

2. Identify the centre of gravity of your load and place the jack on hard

ground. A suitable solid pad may be used under the jack to avoid it sinking

or leaning in softer surfaces.

3. Before operating the jack, insert the notched end of the handle into

the release valve (1).Turn the operating handle clock wise until the release

valve is closed. Do not over tighten the valve.

4. Insert operating handle into the socket slowly pump until the saddle

touches the load. Ensure it seats properly with the load, then slowly

continue pumping until the load is at the required height. The ram will stop

rising when the maximum height is reached – do not try to over extend the

jack.
