tions carefully prior to the initial operation.
These instructions are intended to acquaint
the user with the jack and enable him to use
it to the full extent of its intended capabilities.
The operating instructions contain important
information on how to handle the jack in a
safe, correct and economic way. Acting in ac-
cordance with these instructions helps to avoid
dangers, reduce repair cost and down time
and to increase the reliability and lifetime of
the jack. Apart from the operating instructions
and the accident prevention act valid for the
respective country and area where the jack is
used, also the commonly accepted regulations
for safe and professional work must be ad-
hered to.
CORRECT OPERATION
- The unit is suitable for lifting, lowering and
supporting of loads.
- Do not lift or lower loads while personnel
are in the danger zone.
- Do not allow personnel to pass under a lifted
load.
- After lifting or tensioning, a load must not
be left unattended for a longer period of time.
- Start moving the load only after it has been
attached correctly and all personnel are clear
of the danger zone.
- The operator must ensure that the load is
attached in a manner that does not expose
himself or other personnel to danger by the
jack or the load.
- The jacks can be operated in ambient tem-
peratures between -10°C and +50°C.
Consult the manufacturer in case of extreme
working conditions.
Note: At ambient temperatures below 0°C
the brake should be checked for freezing.
- The operator must ensure that the jack is
used on a stable and nonslip foundation so
that the jack is not able to sink or to slip
(Fig. 1).
- The jack has to be used vertical in direction
of the force.
- The accident prevention act and/or safety
regulations of the respective country for
using manual jacks must be strictly adhered
to.

INSPECTION PRIOR TO INITIAL
OPERATION
Each jack must be inspected prior to initial
operation by a competent person.
This inspection is visual and functional and
shall establish that the jack is safe and has
not been damaged by incorrect transport or
storage. Inspections should be made by a
representative of the manufacturer or the
supplier although the company can assign its
own suitably trained personnel.
INSPECTION BEFORE STARTING WORK
Before starting work inspect the jack and all
load bearing constructions every time for
visual defects. Furthermore test the brake and
make sure that the load and jack are correctly
attached. For this purpose a short work cycle
of lifting or moving and releasing should be
carried out.
OPERATION
Lifting the load
- Position the steeljack below the load either
on the head or the claw, or lower the load
slowly onto the head or claw of the jack.
- Unfold the grip on the cranking handle until
an angle of 90° is reached.
- To lift the load turn the crank handle in a
clockwise direction.
Attention: Ensure that the jack is on a stable
footing!
Lowering the load
- To lower the load turn the crank handle anti-
clockwise.
INSPECTION / MAINTENANCE
To ensure that the jacks remain in safe work-
ing order they are to be subjected to regular
inspections by a competent person.
Inspections are to be annual unless adverse
working conditions dictate shorter periods.The
components of the jack are to be inspected
for damage, wear, corrosion or other irregular-
ities and all safety devices are to be checked
for completeness and effectiveness.
Repairs may only be carried out by a
specialist workshop that uses original
Yale spare parts.
Inspections are instigated by the user.
