ASSEMBLY OF THE UNIT
The unit is delivered assembled and ready to use, however it may be necessary to
fit additional bars to widen the unit - depending on the vehicle under which it is to
be used, bearing in mind that the bars also have a certain range of adjustment.
If, however, it should be necessary to widen the rods, loosen the screws at the
width adjustment joints (4) and select the appropriate length of rod, making sure
that the ends of each rod match the ends of the rods.
Securely screw them together using the screws provided.

Working with the unit
Use the supplied crank to operate the unit, but it can also be operated with a drill
with a minimum torque of 90 Nm.
IMPORTANT: Do not use the percussion function or typical impact or pneumatic
tools for operation.
Lifting
With the engine off, the vehicle should be idling (automatic transmission "N"
position) and the parking/auxiliary brake released.
Drive the flatbed under the vehicle, taking care not to damage any of its
structural components.
The jacks should be placed between the axles of the vehicle, parallel to the sills,
just under the (reinforced) chassis parts intended for lifting, e.g. sills, frame, etc.
(see vehicle handbook or contact the manufacturer or their official
representative).
Depending on the type of work you want to perform on the car, you should
position the unit appropriately closer to the front or rear, however, bearing in
mind that most vehicles are heavier near the engine and this side will usually
prevail.
Make sure that the jack leg is not locked by the pin and is free to move. Adjust
the support spacing. If using a drill, attach the drill directly to the pin coming out
of the gearbox.
Turn the lifting/lowering mechanism with the supplied crank handle or an
external unit in a clockwise direction and carefully watch the vehicle's movement.
If the vehicle is not balanced correctly, it will tip to the heavier side during lifting
and only part of it will be lifted - this is normal.
When the vehicle is lifted to the correct height and the center of gravity is
properly positioned on the unit, it will be possible to tilt it to the other side, as the
unit works on the principle of a cradle.
DO NOT go underneath a lifted vehicle without securing it.
Use appropriate jacks under the car (not included). The leveled car (2. and 3.
