LIFTING OPERATIONS AND LIFTING EQUIPMENT
Regulations 1998
This jack, depending on use, may fall within the scope of LOLER. It is the owner’s
responsibility to determine whether or not it does and, if so, to comply with any
applicable requirements in LOLER, for having the jack thoroughly examined.
WARNING: BEFORE LIFTING, ENSURE THE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
ARE STRICTLY FOLLOWED. NO RESPONSIBILITY CAN BE ACCEPTED
FOR INCORRECT USE OF THE JACK
1. Ensure the vehicle is in a safe state as mentioned in the safety precautions,
ensuring the ground on which the jack is to operate is level and solid.
2. Raise the vehicle to an appropriate height and secure it on suitable supports (not
supplied).
3. Position the jack saddle under the vehicle transmission.
4. Loosen the saddle tilt adjustment
screws and open the strap using the
ratchet .
5. Use a 1/2” square drive (ideally with a
ratchet) to rotate the drive socket
clockwise to extend the lifting
components until the saddle contacts
the transmission casing.
•Allow the saddle to tilt as
appropriate to seat itself firmly
beneath the load.
6. Firmly tighten the saddle tilt adjustment screws to secure the saddle at the
optimum angle.
Ensure the centre of gravity of the load is completely centred about the saddle before
the full load is taken and secure the load with the ratchet strap if necessary.
With the load fully secured, turn the drive socket SLOWLY anticlockwise to lower the
jack and load.
WARNING: ALWAYS LOWER IN A SLOW AND CONTROLLED MANNER
AND THAT THERE ARE NO OBSTRUCTIONS IN THE PATH OF THE
DESCENDING LOAD.
WARNING: TAKE CARE NOT TO TRAP FINGERS IN THE MOVING
PARTS OF THE JACK.
IMPORTANT: Only fully qualified personnel should attempt any repairs.
1. ALWAYS visually inspect the jack before use, to ensure that all parts are correctly
locate and secure. Check for damage or worn parts and check the castors for
damage. DO NOT use the jack unless it is perfectly serviceable.
2. The jack should be fully inspected periodically as follows:
•Check for cracks and deformation of components.
•Check castors to ensure they move freely without undue wear to their
bores and that the wheels are not cracked or damaged.
•Remove any rust and repaint to prevent further corrosion.
•Ensure that all decals and warning notices are in place and legible.
3. DO NOT leave the jack in the open, exposed to the elements. Keep under cover
when not in use.
