Important Safety Instructions 

The use of a vehicle jack has inherent dangers to avoid risk of personal injury or property damage make sure you are fully aware of the operating instructions for this product, the recommendations in the vehicle owners manual for jacking of your vehicle prior to lifting the vehicle. Do not exceed maximum lifting capacity of this jack. This jack is intended for automotive use only. Be aware that large or heavy vehicles may exceed jack’s stated capacity check vehicle owners manual or contact the vehicle manufacturer. Do not use for any other purpose except the raising and lowering of vehicles, never use to raise any structure or building, Do not lift any human and never ride on jack.

Personal Safety 

1.  Stay alert. Watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating the jack. Do not use the jack while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating the jack increases the risk of injury to persons.
2.  Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Contain long hair. Keep hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery, or long hair increases the risk of injury to persons as a result of being caught in moving parts.
3.  Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables better control of the jack in unexpected situations.
4.  Use safety equipment. A dust mask, non-skid safety shoes and a hard hat must be used for the applicable conditions.

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.  Plan location of jack beneath vehicle, making sure jack will be contacting only a jack support area of vehicle.
2.  Clear obstructions from work area. Working in tight or cluttered work areas is dangerous.
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.
4.  Conduct a pre-operational check of the equipment. Thoroughly inspect jack for damage or wear before each use.
5.  Briefly test operation of vehicle jack before using to lift any vehicle. If jack is damaged or is malfunctions DO NOT LIFT ANY VEHICLE until the problem is corrected.
6.  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. NEVER EXCEED THE WORKING VEHICLE LIMIT OF JACK.
7.  The hydraulic vehicle jack should be used for lifting and lowering only; the raised vehicle should be supported on suitably rated vehicle support stands, and the hydraulic trolley jack removed, prior to commencement of work on e vehicle. Read and understand jack stands manufacturer’s instructions and safety information before use and before lifting the vehicle with this jack.
8.  Be sure jack and vehicle are on solid, level ground such as paved or concrete driveway or garage floor. The jack should be used on level firm ground wherever possible. Uneven or sloped surfaces create hazardous working conditions and dangerously impede the function of the jack. Ensure the jack is free to roll during lifting and lowering.
9. 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.
10.  No person should place any part of their body under a vehicle that it supported only by a trolley jack.
11.  With vehicle in proper position, set vehicle’s parking brake or emergency brake and put the gear-shift in park (manual transmissions should be placed in 1st gear). Twist VEHICLE IGNITION OFF AND TO THE “LOCK” POSITION making sure steering wheel locks.
12.  It is recommended that the unlifted wheels of the vehicle be chocked. Do not rely on vehicle transmission orbrakes to hold vehicle in position. Chock all wheels of vehicle not being lifted off the ground to prevent vehicle rolling. Using wedge-shaped blocks that tyre cannot roll over, position one chock tight against the tyre in both forward and reverse rolling paths.
13. The vehicle should be centrally located on the head cap. Off centre vehicles can be unstable.
