SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Take care that the floor jack is central and stable with the load supported under the lifting point of the
vehicle being lifted. Only attach the floor jack at the lifting points marked by the vehicle manufacturer.
Read the vehicle's operating instructions for this purpose. Please consult an authorised workshop if
you have any doubts regarding the correct lifting points on the vehicle.
• Make sure that there are no pets, persons and body parts in the area of the lifting arm, the cylinder or
the mechanism during the lifting and lowering procedure.
• Never allow persons to be situated in or under the vehicle being lifted when using the floor jack.
• Take care that no persons lean against the raised vehicle.
• Do not use the floor jack outdoors, in case of frost or rain.
• Watch the floor jack and the vehicle being lifted whilst using the appliance. Never let the floor jack
and vehicle out of your sight.
• Check the floor jack before each use for damage, oil leaks, corrosion and missing parts, such as
rollers or safety cotter pins. Do not use the floor jack if it is damaged or parts are missing.
• Do not modify the floor jack in any way.
• Keep the information label attached to the floor jack in good condition.
• Children and persons who are mentally or physically disabled must not handle the appliance. They
are not able to correctly judge the risks associated with the appliance.
• Do not use the floor jack under the following circumstances:
−
under difficult conditions (e.g. very cold or hot climate, under the influence of strong magnetic
radiation) and similar situations.
−
combined with explosive substances, mines etc. and similar situations.
−
when lifting loads that contain the following materials among others: molten metal, acids,
radioactive material, or loose goods, which are not firmly joined together, and similar situations.
−
in contact with foods and similar situations.
−
on ships and similar situations.
• Only use accessories that are supplied with the appliance.
• Position the floor jack in such a way that it only lifts the vehicle in areas which are suitable according
to the model. If necessary use suitable adapters to prevent damage to the points of contact on the
vehicle.
• After lifting the vehicle, always support the load with appropriate vehicle supports before working on
the vehicle.
• Do not overload the floor jack beyond its rated capacity. This can lead to damage to the floor jack
and cause the floor jack to stop working properly.
• This floor jack is only designed for use on hard, even surfaces that are capable of supporting the
load. Using the appliance on other surfaces can lead to instability and may cause the load to slip.
• Centre the load on the lifting plate before lifting the vehicle. Loads arranged off centre can lead to the
load slipping or damage to the floor jack as well as to your vehicle.
• Should it become difficult to lower the jack as desired, always secure the vehicle with jack stands
against unexpected sinking. Obtain a second jack that allows you to lift the vehicle high enough to be
able to safely remove the broken jack. In case of uncertainty, ask for help from a professional.

FROM THE FLOOR CONTACT AREA WHEN LOWE- RING THE LOAD!
