Dear Customer,
Before you use your new hydraulic jack for the first
time, please check that it is in good working order.
Air pockets may form in the hydraulic fluid passages
if the jack is not used for a long time or if there is too
little fluid in the hydraulic system from the outset.
In both cases, proceed as follows:
Before you put the jack into operation, observe
the safety instructions found in these directions
for use and on the jack itself.
1. Safety instructions
Before you raise the load, check that the lowering
screw is tightly shut.
Always place the hydraulic jack on firm and level
ground when using it to raise a load.
Never work underneath a raised load which is
supported only by the hydraulic jack. Working on and
under raised vehicles is only permitted when the
vehicle in question is secured and supported against
tipping and slipping.
The jack is designed only for raising loads. After a
load is raised it must be supported immediately by at
least one jack stand. Vehicles must be sufficiently
secured against rolling before they are raised with
the jack. Never use the jack at an angle. Position the
jack only where specified by the vehicle
manufacturer. Make sure that no one leans against a
raised vehicle or load.
2. Adding hydraulic fluid
On the hydraulic cylinder you will see a rubber plug
in the fluid filler hole. With the jack in horizontal
position, remove the rubber plug by pressing it in on
the side with a screwdriver. Fill in hydraulic fluid
(type: HLP 32 Iso or equivalent) through the fluid
filler hole. You must fill in enough fluid to cover the
cylinder visible inside.
Re-insert the rubber plug in the filler hole.

3. Venting
The hydraulic system has to be vented at least after
each time you add hydraulic fluid. Air pockets may
also form in the hydraulic fluid passages if the jack is
not used for a long time. This is the case if the load
sinks again abruptly after being raised half way or
only part of the way.
To vent the hydraulic system, pump up the unloaded
jack approximately half way. Now press your foot
against the jacking saddle to exert a little pressure on
the hydraulic system. The lowering screw must of
course be closed when you do this.
Now lower the jack by opening the lowering screw
and repeat the procedure 2 or 3 times. Air is also
vented from the system via the lowering screw. Any
drops of fluid which may then escape are irrelevant
for the jack's further use. You can now rest assured
that there are no longer any air pockets in the fluid
passages and that the jack will work correctly.
Catch old and escaping fluid in a special
container and deliver to your old oil disposal
center!
4. Raising vehicles
Before you raise a vehicle, make sure it is standing
on a firm surface so that the jack does not sink into
the ground under the raised load. In hot summer
conditions the jack may easily sink into tarmac
surfaces and slip sideways.
Pull the hand brake and also secure the vehicle with
chocks if available. Now place the jack under the
vehicle so that the saddle can rest against a strong
part of the floor. On old vehicles with rusted floor
elements there is the risk of the saddle breaking
through the floor.
Make sure that the lowering screw is closed. Use the
jacking bar to pump up the jacking arm to a point
where it is not quite touching the vehicle. You can
now make final adjustments of position to ensure that
the vehicle is raised correctly and safely.
For your own safety, always use at least one jack
stand to provide additional support for a raised
vehicle. Only ever use this jack to raise one wheel off
