OWIM HG02971 Bedienungs- Und Sicherheitshinweise Seite 7

Do not allow the hydraulic vehicle jack to
be used by uninstructed or inexperienced
persons.
Before using the hydraulic vehicle jack take
precautions to prevent the vehicle from roll-
ing away. Put the handbrake on, place the
vehicle in gear (with automatic gearboxes
set to "P") and chock the wheels.
Even with safety measures in place always
remain alert and make a visual check that
the support plate is firmly seated
1
against the vehicle jacking point.
Make sure that no petrol, battery acid or
any other dangerous substance can flow out
of the vehicle when the vehicle is being lifted.
Check that no person or object is under the
vehicle before you lower it.
Lower the vehicle slowly.
Check that all parts have been assembled
and fitted properly and are undamaged.
Before each use check that the hydraulic
vehicle jack is working properly. Check the
screws and valves of the hydraulic vehicle
jack for correct seating and look out for
hydraulic oil leaks in particular.
Never use the hydraulic vehicle jack for
moving or loading a vehicle. Never use it to
lift a whole vehicle completely off the ground.
It's not allowed to lift up people with the
hydraulic jack and make sure that near lo-
cated people keep enough distance to the
vehicle when the hydraulic jack is in use.
Never change the setting of the safety valve
. It is preset to the correct setting in the
4
factory and must never be readjusted later.
Do not use the hydraulic car jack if the seal-
ing (safety valve ) is damaged.

Before using the vehicle jack, the user must
be made familiar with the device by an ex-
perienced person. The pump force and the
transferred force are equal to approximately
350 N*.
If the markings on the product are damaged
enough so as to be illegible then the vehicle
jack must not be used until the markings are
renewed.
No modifications may be carried out to the
hydraulic bottle jack. Any physical modifica-
tion of the device and its compliance with
EN 1494/A1: 2008.
The applied force when using the vehicle
jack must not exceed 350 N*. The equates
to a force on the lever of approximately 35 kg.
CAUTION! RISK OF SHEAR-
ING AND CRUSHING IN-
JURY! Keep your fingers away
from the area of the lifting handle socket
while pumping. Failure to observe this advice
may result in shearing and crushing injury.
The operating temperature of the hydraulic
oil of this equipment is between -20 °C to
+40 °C.
Do not use this equipment in rooms exposed
to fire hazards, where flammable or explo-
sive vapours or dusts may be present (e.g.
in stables, barns or paint shops).
Only use this device to lift and lower the
vehicle, not to keep the vehicle in a lifted
position. Do not move it whilst raising or
lowering.
Do not use the equipment if oil leaks are
present.
After use return all parts used into their orig-
inal position. Have the hydraulic oil or oil
pump replaced by a professional if the parts
can no longer be moved.
If you notice a spilage of oil, stop using the
product and absorb the oil on the floor with
a cloth. Any reparation must be done by a
professional.
If the jack can not be lowered as wished, the
car must be secured by jack stand against
unintended lowering. Get a new jack, with
which you can lift the car, so that the defect
jack can be removed. If you are unsure,
please ask for professional help.
* If the generated efforts exceed the value, the
efforts shall be lowered by additional persons.
