Safety Instructions; Use And Operation - Facom DL.10BT Manual Original

EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: Read these safety instructions carefully in addition to the instructions for use, operation and maintenance.
This jack has been designed for use in the elevation of cars and lorries, although it may also be used in other applications, provided that the manufacturer's
instructions refl ected in this manual are complied with.
Any other application, beyond the conditions established for use of this jack will be considered inappropriate.
Handle the jack correctly and ensure that all parts are in good condition prior to its use.
Only authorised persons should operate the jack having read carefully and understood the contents of this manual.
Do not modify the jack in any way.
Non-compliance with these rules may result in injury or damage to the user, the jack or the load to be lifted.
The manufacturer accepts no responsibility for the improper use of the jack.

1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1.1. The load to be lifted should never exceed the rated capacity of the jack.
1.2. The maximum stroke of the jack indicated on the label should never be exceeded.
1.3. The jack should be supported on a solid, level and horizontal surface which is well illuminated and free of obstructions. Never stand the jack on a
surface which may sink.
1.4. Ensure that there are no persons inside the vehicle to be lifted. Switch off the engine and apply the brake. Ensure the vehicle or element to be lifted
against any type of sliding. Use chocks if appropriate (1). Do not enter the vehicle or start the engine whilst it is supported on the jack or appropriate
stands.
1.5. Position the jack under the manufacturer's recommended lifting point for the vehicle and ensure that it is not corroded, dirty or greasy. This point should
remain centred over the jack saddle. All off-centred loads can slip and accidents may result.
1.6. During raising and lowering of the load, all precautions should be taken to avoid movement of the vehicle load. Traffi c may cause the raised vehicle to
rock during roadside use of the jack.
1.7. The jack should be positioned so as to avoid the need for the user to introduce any part of his/her body underneath the vehicle. Never work under a
raised vehicle without previously supporting it with mechanical stands (2) or other appropriate methods.
1.8 It is necessary for the operator to be able to observe the lifting device and the load during all movements. In the presence of dangerous conditions,
such as movement of the vehicle, etc, the lifting process must be interrupted.
1.9. Ensure that there are no persons or obstructions underneath the vehicle prior to lowering.
1.10 As an additional safety measure against overload, the jack is fi tted with an overload valve (optional in models of 2t to 5 t) set at the factory and
which should not be adjusted under any circumstances.

2. USE AND OPERATION

2.1 2.1. Prior to operating the jack, remove any accumulated air from the system as follows: 2.1 2.1. Prior to operating the jack, remove any accumulated air from the system as follows:
-Place the handle over the release valve and make a complete turn in an anti-clockwise direction. -Place the handle over the release valve and make a complete turn in an anti-clockwise direction. -Place the handle over the release valve and make a complete turn in an anti-clockwise direction. -Place the handle over the release valve and make a complete turn in an anti-clockwise direction.
-Insert the handle in the handle socket and pump the jack several times to ensure internal lubrication and bleed the accumulated air from -Insert the handle in the handle socket and pump the jack several times to ensure internal lubrication and bleed the accumulated air from -Insert the handle in the handle socket and pump the jack several times to ensure internal lubrication and bleed the accumulated air from -Insert the handle in the handle socket and pump the jack several times to ensure internal lubrication and bleed the accumulated air from

-Place the handle over the release valve again and fully close it in a clockwise direction. -Place the handle over the release valve again and fully close it in a clockwise direction. -Place the handle over the release valve again and fully close it in a clockwise direction. -Place the handle over the release valve again and fully close it in a clockwise direction.
Important: Prior to lifting the load, ensure that all of the aforementioned safety instructions are followed.
2.2. The extension screw of the jacks, if fi tted, complements their stroke. It is advisable not to fully extend it.
2.3. For lifting, fully close the release valve and move the handle up and down using the full stroke range of the piston for greater speed.
2.4 For lowering, slowly turn the release valve in an anti-clockwise direction using the handle, ensuring that there are no persons or obstacles under the
vehicle to be lowered. The lowering speed is controlled by adjusting the release valve.
2.5 If the jack is subjected to a load greater than the nominal set, it has an overload valve (optional 2t to 5t) rated at 0 + 15% from the nominal value to
prevent the vehicle continue lifting.
2.6 Our jack may be used in a horizontal position provided that the pump is located on the lower side.
Important. Due to the characteristics of telescopic jacks, a residue of oil may be observed in some of the pistons. This is totally normal and is part
2.7
of the correct operation of the jack.
3. MAINTENANCE
Important: Both the maintenance and repair of the jack may only be performed by qualifi ed persons, who have suffi cient knowledge of the hydraulic systems
used in these devices as a result of their training and experience.
3.1. Keep the jack clean and lubricate all moving parts at regular intervals (3), which must be clean and protected from aggressive conditions at all times.
3.2. Only original spare parts should be used.
3.3. Prior to each use, check for bent, broken, cracked or loose parts and solve the problem, if appropriate. If it is suspected that the jack has been
subjected to abnormal loads or has suffered any knocks, withdraw it from service until the problem has been rectifi ed.
3.4. If the oil level needs to be checked or refi lled, with the piston fully retracted, remove the fi ller plug and drain its contents into a container. With the jack
in a horizontal position, proceed to introduce the necessary volume as indicated for each model in these instructions.
The parts table alongside shows the volume of oil required, and the levels with respect to the oil fi ller hole for each model.
Make sure that no dirt enters with the new oil.
Following a period of prolonged intensive use, it is recommendable to change the oil in order to extend the useful life of the jack.
Important: An excess of oil to the volume required may render the jack inoperative.
3.5. Only use hydraulic oil, type HL or HM, with a maximum ISO grade of cinematic viscosity of 30 cST at 40º, or an Engler viscosity of 3 at 50ºC.
Extremely Important: Never use brake fl uid.
3.6 When the jack is not in use, the screw, main piston and the pump piston should be retracted to avoid corrosion.
Apply an anti-corrosion product to the pistons, if appropriate.
Remove the handle from its position.
3.7 At the end of the useful life of the jack, drain off the oil and hand it over to an authorised agent and dispose of the jack in accordance with local regulations.
3.8 Both the repair kit, which exclusively contains the o-rings and seals of the jack, and the spare part sets must be ordered using the reference assigned
in the table.
