Please note the following safety notes to avoid malfunctions, dam-
age or physical injury:
Dispose off packaging material or store packaging out of reach of children.
There is danger of suffocation!
Use the floor jack for the intended purpose, only to lift up vehicles, and keep
it out of reach of children. The floor jack is not a toy. Do no allow untrained
persons to operate the floor jack.
Before using the floor jack, prevent the vehicle against inadvertent rolling.
Engage handbrake, wedges etc and switch off the engine.
Check if the jack is in good working condition. Especially check, if the floor
jack is leaking hydraulic oil, for right fitting of the screws, vents and oil filling.
Keep the Health and Safety at Work Acts and other general accepted, safety-
related, occupational medicine rules, as well as the accident prevention regu-
lations for power-operated tools.
Never use the floor jack to transport or to load a vehicle. Never lift up the
whole vehicle.
Do not use the floor jack on inclined surfaces. Use the floor jack only on level
and solid ground. Warning! The floor jack may possibly sink in or trip down, if
the jack is used on hot tar macadam ground.
Place the floor jack that way to avoid handling under the vehicle.
Always wear protection glasses when using the floor jack.
Never go under a lifted vehicle, if you do not take additional safety measures
such as supporting by axle stands, blocking the wheels etc., to avoid inadver-
tent rolling, slipping or tilting of the vehicle.
Please note that working under a vehicle is very dangerous even if the vehicle
is supported by the floor jack and secured by additional supports. Always be
careful and observe throughout the jacking operation, if the saddle (5) is fixed
on the vehicle lifting point and if there are any relative movements.
Make sure the saddle sits steady under the vehicle. For choosing the right
vehicle lifting points recommended by the vehicle manufacturer, please take
the vehicle handbook. Please Note: Wrong positioning of the floor jack may
tilt or damage the vehicle!
