FAQs
Do I need to use axle stands with this jack?
Yes. A hydraulic jack is intended for lifting only, not for supporting a vehicle for extended periods. Always use rated axle stands.
Can I use this jack on its side?
No. Bottle jacks are designed to operate only in a vertical orientation. Using them horizontally will prevent the pump from drawing oil.
What is the minimum height of the jack?
The minimum retracted height is 225mm.
Is the weight of the jack manageable?
The unit weighs 7.56kg, making it relatively portable for a 16-ton capacity tool.
Are the cosmetic imperfections a sign of a used product?
No, these are minor storage-related imperfections and the product is new.
How do I lower the load?
Slowly turn the release valve counter-clockwise using the notch on the handle to allow the oil to return to the reservoir.
Troubleshooting
Jack feels 'spongy' or does not reach full height
Air may be trapped in the hydraulic system. Open the release valve and pump the handle rapidly several times to purge the air.
Load is lowering slowly on its own
The release valve may not be fully closed or there is dirt on the valve seat. Ensure the valve is tightened firmly.
Handle is difficult to pump
Check that the load does not exceed the 16-ton capacity and ensure the jack is on a level surface to prevent binding.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before initial use, check for any oil leaks or damage from shipping. To prepare the jack, ensure the base is seated firmly on solid ground. Compatibility is broad, covering cars to heavy machinery, provided the load does not exceed 16 tons and the lifting height (225mm to 428mm) is appropriate for the task. Care should be taken to keep the piston clean of dirt and debris to prevent seal damage. When not in use, store the jack in an upright, vertical position in a dry environment to prevent air from entering the hydraulic system.
