FAQs

What is the maximum weight capacity of this jack?

The maximum load capacity is 500kgs.

Can this jack be used for both front and rear wheels?

The jack is designed for lifting the motorcycle's frame, typically enabling access to the rear wheel for maintenance. Specific application may vary based on bike design.

How do I switch between using it for a flat base versus a tubular frame?

For tubular frames, use the adjustable support struts. For flat-based frames, remove the support struts and use the flat base of the jack.

What is the minimum and maximum lifting height?

The jack lifts from a minimum of 100mm to a maximum of 340mm.

Can I permanently fix this jack to my workbench?

Yes, the base features two mounting plates designed for permanent installation onto table lifts or workstations.

Does the jack come assembled?

The jack requires some assembly, primarily attaching the handle and potentially the support struts depending on packaging. Refer to the manual for specific instructions.

Are replacement rubber inlays available?

Please check the manufacturer's website or contact customer support for information on replacement parts.

Troubleshooting

Jack does not lift smoothly.

Check for obstructions around the lifting mechanism. Ensure the load is centered and within the 500kg limit. Lubricate the handle mechanism if necessary.

Support struts do not fit securely.

Verify you are using the correct configuration for your frame type (tubular vs. flat base). Adjust the width and height of the struts for a snug fit on tubular frames. Ensure rubber inlays are present and intact.

Jack feels unstable.

Ensure the jack is on a level and solid surface. For permanent installations, check that the mounting bolts are secure. For temporary use, consider using wheel chocks for added safety.

Difficulty removing or attaching support struts.

Ensure the jack is fully lowered and not under load. Apply gentle, steady pressure. Clean any debris that might be obstructing the attachment points.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Adaptable for both flat and tubular frames.
  • Provides stable and secure lifting.
  • Compact design with permanent mounting option.
  • Sufficient lifting range for most common maintenance tasks.
  • Durable construction with a 500kg load capacity.

Cons

  • Requires manual operation, unlike powered lifts.
  • May need additional securing for optimal stability on uneven surfaces.
  • Removal and reattachment of struts for different bike types can be time-consuming.
  • Initial setup for permanent mounting requires tools and consideration.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: For tubular frames, position the jack beneath the bike's frame and adjust the support struts to securely engage the frame. Ensure the rubber inlays are in contact. For flat-based frames, remove the adjustable struts and position the jack's base directly under the frame. For permanent installation, use appropriate hardware to secure the two mounting plates to a stable work surface.

Compatibility: Designed for bikes with flat bases or tubular frames. Maximum load capacity is 500kgs. Lifts from 100mm to 340mm.

Care: Keep the jack clean and dry. Regularly inspect the rubber inlays for wear and tear. Lubricate moving parts of the handle mechanism as needed. Ensure all bolts securing the unit (if permanently mounted) are tight.
