Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the jack is placed on a firm, level, and stable surface.
- Position the jack's saddle under the vehicle's designated jacking point.
- Operate the quick-lift foot pedal to engage the lifting mechanism.
- Continue pumping the handle until the desired height is reached.
- CRITICAL: Always secure the vehicle with appropriately rated axle stands before commencing any work.
Compatibility:
This jack has a lifting range from 88mm to 495mm and a capacity of 2.5 tonnes, making it compatible with most standard passenger cars, SUVs, and light commercial vehicles. It is particularly suited for vehicles with low ground clearance.
Care:
- Keep the jack clean and free from dirt and debris, especially around the hydraulic ram and seals.
- Regularly check the hydraulic fluid level and top up if necessary with a suitable hydraulic jack oil (refer to manufacturer's recommendations for type).
- Inspect the ram, seals, and frame for any signs of wear or damage before each use.
- Store the jack in a dry environment to prevent rust.
- Bleed the hydraulic system if the jack fails to lift or lower smoothly.
