Cautions to Personnel

a. Personnel shall not place any part of their body between the jack and the load during lifting and

lowering of the load.

b. Personnel shall not place any part of their body under a load supported by a jack.

c. Personnel should not place any part of their body under blocking that is positioned to support the

load, when the load is supported by a jack.

d. Personnel shall not straddle the handle of the jack.

e. Personnel should ensure there is sufficient swing area to avoid pinch points while using the jack

handle.

f. Personnel should not be on a load supported by jacks.

g. The jack operator should have firm footing and handle control while operating the jack.

h. Unsynchronized operation of multiple ratchet jacks may produce increased or uncontrollable

handle force.

i. Personnel should avoid placing their head in the swing arc of the handle. Ratchet jack handles

may produce sudden kickback while lifting or lowering the load.

j. Ensure the handle load has been transferred to the jack before releasing the handle.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

TO RAISE A LOAD

1. Place the jack on a hard and level surface beneath the load that is to be lifted.

2. Following all safety precautions, place the foot of the jack beneath the load. Lift the reversing

latch (20) to the “UP” position and ensure it is locked in place. With the indentation in the latch

firmly engaged in the notch on the reversing switch (18) (see figure 1), jack up the nose until it

comes into contact with the load at the desired point of lift. Make sure a pause on this stage and

check to ensure there are no obstacles for a clean lift.

REVERSING LATCH

UP DOWN

3. Pull down firmly and evenly on the handle and observe the load when rising. As the handle is

pulled down, you will hear the Climbing Pin (15) click into place as it locates in a hole in the steel

bar (3). At this point, relax the handle allowing the pin (15) to take the load. Raise the handle to

the top of its stroke to take a fresh purchase and pump the handle once again.
