OPERATING JACK
Preparing Work Area
Before using jack to lift vehicle, it is important to prepare work area properly. Follow
this procedure each time the jack is used to help prevent property damage and or
serious injury.
1) Thoroughly inspect jack for damage or wear before each use. Briefly test operation
of unloaded jack before using to lift any load. If jack is damaged or is malfunctioning
DO NOT LIFT ANY LOAD until the problem is corrected.
2) The Vehicle manufacturer's owner's manual should be consulted prior to the lifting of
the vehicle. It will advise safety precautions, jacking procedure, vehicle weight,
recommended jack type, and location of jack support areas on vehicle. The working
load limit of the jack is 3000 kg. NEVER EXCEED WORKING LOAD LIMIT OF
JACK.
3) Clear children and others from work area before moving or lifting vehicle. Another
adult should be nearby for extra safety and assistance but must be clear of vehicle
as it is moved or lifted. No person should remain in a vehicle that is being lifted. No
person should enter a vehicle which is supported by a jack or by vehicle support
stands. No person should lean into a vehicle which is supported by a jack or by
vehicle support stands.
4) No person should get bodily under a vehicle that is supported by a hydraulic trolley
jack.
5) Clear obstructions from work area. Working in tight or cluttered work areas is
dangerous.
6) The hydraulic trolley jack should be used for lifting and lowering only; the raised
vehicle should be supported on vehicle support stands.
7) Be sure jack and vehicle are on solid, level ground such as paved or concrete
driveway or garage floor. The hydraulic jack should be used on a hard level surface
and be free to roll during lifting and lowering. Uneven or sloped surfaces create
hazardous working conditions and dangerously impeded the function of the jack.
8) With vehicle in proper position, set vehicle's parking brake or emergency brake and
put gearshift in park(manual transmissions should be placed in lowest gear). TURN
VEHICLE IGNITION OFF AND TO THE "LOCK" POSITION making sure steering
wheel locks.
9) Chock the unlifted wheels of the vehicle. Do not rely on vehicle transmission or
brakes to hold the vehicle in position. Chock all wheels of vehicle not being lifted off
the ground to prevent vehicle rolling. Using wedge-shaped blocks that the tyre
cannot roll over, position one chock tight against the tyre in both forward and
reverse rolling paths.
10) The load should be centrally located on the head cap. Off centre loads can be
unstable.
11) The hydraulic trolley jack should be used for lifting and lowering only; the raised
vehicle should be supported on vehicle support stands. Vehicle support stands
(not included) will be needed to support vehicle once it is in raised position. Have
jack stands, vehicle support stands capable of supporting vehicle weight ready
nearby for use. Read and understand jack stand manufacturer's instructions and
safety information before use and before lifting the vehicle with this jack.
12) Plan location of jack beneath vehicle, making sure jack will be contacting only a
jack support area of vehicle. Consult vehicle owner's manual for location of jack
support areas.
