INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
ISTRUZIONI PER L'USO
PERSONNEL SAFETY
• Stay alert; watch what you are doing. Do not use the jack while tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol, or medication.
• HANDLE THE JACK WITH THE GREATEST CARE WHILE PERFORMING ANY OF THE JOBS IT
HAS BEEN DESIGNED FOR, TO AVOID GETTING SERIOUSLY INJURED.
• Always use the following personal protective equipment:
• safety footwear;
• protective, mechanically resistant gloves.
• Make sure you are in a safe position while operating the jack, keeping proper balance at all times.
A safe working position and a proper body posture enable better control of the jack in unexpected
situations.
INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
Periodically carry out the following inspections in accordance with the Machine Directive and
the standards concerning checks of lifting apparatus:
• Before each use, visually inspect the jack, checking that there are no surface defects, including
deformations, cracks, rust or cuts that may prevent the jack from being properly operated.
• The pistons should be externally cleaned every fifteen days.
• If the jack is not used for prolonged periods, before using it, check that it is perfectly serviceable.
• Perform extra checks following any particular events that may have caused the jack to be damaged,
thereby affecting proper operation.
All maintenance and repair jobs must be performed by authorised staff; contact Beta Utensili's
repair centre, if need be. Only original spare parts may be used.
Oil level check
Check the oil level in the tank at least twice a year. ATF DEXRON IID compatible oil.
Check the oil level as follows:
1) Position the jack, with the pistons completely down.
2) The oil level must be at the height of the bolt on the side of the tank under the sump; unscrew it to
check the oil level (pict.15)
3) If the oil level is higher than expected, even just a little higher, or if the jack has been turned upside
down (this may happen during transportation), the oil is discharged through the vacuum pump in the
form of microfog. This disappears on its own when the oil level is restored.
4) If the oil in the tank exceeds the required level to a significant extent, some oil should be removed to
restore the proper level.
Air bleeding
Whenever the jack is serviced, removing and reinstalling parts connected to the tank and motorpump,
air should be bled off as follows:
1) Move out the pistons completely.
2) Remove the pump and close cock
3) Turn the jack on its side to give access to dowel on the side of the base (pict.16 )
4) Loosen the dowel (DO NOT unscrew it completely) and move the pistons back with your hands.
5) Let all the air out from the dowel and continue until oil starts coming through; then close the dowel.
6) Bring the jack back to its working position.
7) Open cock
8) Move the pistons back in completely and check oil level.
9) Try to operate the jack without any load, and if the pistons lower in jerks, repeat the procedure at
least 2 or 3 times.
