INTENDED INTENDED USE
• The jack is designed for use in the repair of passenger vehicles. It can be used to partially lift a vehicle by reaching under the body of the vehicle.
• The jack may only be used by persons who have read and understood the operating instructions.
• Visually inspect the jack before each use. Do not use this jack if you find any damage, abrasions, tears or punctures on the pneumatic bellows.
• Do not exceed the maximum lifting capacity of the jack (refer to the specification plate on the jack and/or in the manual).
• A safety zone must be established, and no-one should be inside while the lift is in use.
• The working area must be adequately lit and must not contain any obstructions.
• Lifting people or other objects is not permitted. There should be no-one inside the vehicle when it is being lifted.
• The jack must be used inside a workshop and well protected from the elements (wind, rain and negative temperatures).
• The operating temperature range is between 5°C and 50°C maximum. In case of prolonged storage in a place where the temperature is below 0°C,
allow at least 12 hours before use by storing it in the workplace.
• Do not use in highly humid environments. If water splashes directly onto the jack, use a clean cloth to wipe it up.
• The jack must not be used in a potentially explosive atmosphere, and it is not recommended to work in close proximity to a heat source.
• Never lift anything that is on a slope (> 3°). The floor must be flat, and sufficiently solid enough to support the load (minimum 10kg/cm²). Under no
circumstances should the jack be placed over an inspection hatch in the ground.
• Do not use the jack on a boat/ship (stability concerns).
• Thoroughly clean the supporting surface on the vehicle, and the rubber pad on the jack before each use.
• Remove all grease and oil residues from the floor that could cause the vehicle to slip.
• Vehicles should only be lifted at the lifting points recommended by the manufacturer of the vehicle.
• If there is any doubt about the integrity of the vehicle's structure (presence of rust) - Do not lift the vehicle.
• The jack is a tool used exclusively for lifting. Immediately after lifting, the load must be supported by appropriate means (jackstands/supports). Do
not use the jack as a support.
• Ensuring compliance with national workplace safety and risk prevention standards.
• This also includes the obligation to carry out all inspection and maintenance work at regular intervals.
• If the jack is used improperly, the operational safety of the device can no longer be guaranteed.
• It is strictly prohibited to raise the jack when unladen and then place a load on it after it has been raised. It is also prohibited to add additional weight
to the jack once it is in the raised position.
• Any personal injury or damage to property, including vehicles, caused by improper use of the equipment is not the responsibility of the manufacturer,
but of the person operating the jack.
• The use of spare parts, other than those certified as original by the manufacturer, is prohibited.
