3. Ruotare la maniglia in senso orario per chiudere la valvola di rilascio.
4. Test the jack by lifting it to its full height and then lowering it. Repeat if necessary until the jack operates smoothly.

5. Istruzioni per l'uso

5.1 Sollevamento di un veicolo

1. Preparare il veicolo: Parcheggiare il veicolo su una superficie dura e piana. Inserire il freno di stazionamento e bloccare le ruote che rimarranno a terra.
2. Posizionare il Jack: Locate the manufacturer-recommended lifting points on the vehicle chassis. Position the jack so the saddle is directly under the lifting point.
3. Chiudere la valvola di rilascio: Turn the handle clockwise until the release valve is fully closed.
4. Sollevare il veicolo: Azionare la maniglia verso l'alto e verso il basso per sollevare il veicolo all'altezza desiderata.
5. Install Jack Stands: Immediately place appropriately rated jack stands under the vehicle's designated support points.
6. Lower onto Stands: Slowly turn the handle counter-clockwise to open the release valve and lower the vehicle onto the jack stands. Once the vehicle is securely resting on the stands, remove the hydraulic jack.

Una manutenzione regolare garantisce la longevità e il funzionamento sicuro del vostro cric.

• Lubrificazione: Periodically lubricate all moving parts, pivot points, and wheels with light machine oil.
• Fluido idraulico: Check the hydraulic fluid level every three months. To check, lower the jack completely, remove the oil filler plug, and ensure the fluid is level with the bottom of the filler hole. Use only high-quality hydraulic jack oil. Do not use brake fluid or motor oil.
• Pulizia: Keep the jack clean and free of dirt, grease, and corrosive materials.
• Magazzinaggio: Store the jack in a dry, clean area with the ram fully retracted to prevent corrosion and extend seal life.
