This device is for lifting purposes only. Once the vehicle is lifted to the desired height, it must be supported by a pair of jack stands with the appropriate rating. Never work under or near a load that is only supported by this device. Do not use the jack for continuous support e.g. to level a trailer, camper, building structure… or to move a vehicle.

Always chock wheels that are in contact with the floor in both directions.

This device can be used by children aged from 8 years and above, and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the device in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Children shall not play with the device. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.

Only use the jack on a flat and steady surface that is capable of supporting the weight of the jack and its load. Never exceed the indicated load limit.

Inspect the device for damage before each use. Do not use when damage (broken, bent, cracked parts) is noticed. Contact your local dealer for spare parts. Only use original spare part. When the jack was subjected to a shock load, stop using it and contact your local dealer for inspection.

Only use the jack on vehicles of which the lift points on frame and/or underbody are compatible with the saddle of the jack. Check the user manual that came with the vehicle to determine location and type of lift points. Incompatibility may cause structural damage to vehicle and/or jack.

Do not attempt to move the vehicle and never enter or climb on the vehicle while it is supported by the jack.AFJ2T/AFJ2T-BMC

1. It is possible that during shipment of the device air gets trapped inside the hydraulic system

causing malfunctioning. Turn the release valve [E] one turn counter clockwise and push the saddle [A] all the way down.

The open end of the handle [H] can be used to turn the release valve.

2. Remove the cover plate [C], locate and remove the oil filler plug [J].

3. Insert the handle [H] into the socket [D]; slide the protrusion of the handle into the slot on

top of the socket and twist handle clockwise to secure it.

4. Quickly pump six to eight full strokes to remove air in the system.

5. Close the oil filler plug [J] and place the cover plate [C] back.

The overload valve [I] is calibrated to 2 tonnes. Never adjust this overload valve [I].AFJ2T/AFJ2T-BMC

1. Turn the release valve [E] clockwise until it is closed tightly.

2. Place the vehicle in gear (or in Park (P) for vehicles with automatic transmission) and chock

the wheels that remain in contact with the floor in both directions.

3. Locate the lift points of the vehicle (refer to the vehicles’ owners manual) and make sure

they are compatible with the saddle [A] of the jack. Do not use the jack if saddle and lift points are not compatible to avoid structural damage to vehicle and/or jack.

Always centre the load on the saddle to avoid damage to the jack.

4. Insert the handle [H] into the socket [D] and pump until the jack is almost touching the lift

point. Verify that the saddle [A] is centred and good contact with the lift point is assured.

5. Continue pumping handle [H] until the vehicle is raised to the desired height. Immediately

support the vehicle by a pair of jack stands (not incl.). Never work under a vehicle that is only supported by the floor jack!

6. When jack stands are in place, lower the floor jack slightly (see instructions below) until the

vehicle rests on the jack stands.

1. Remove the handle [H] from the socket [D] and use the open end to turn the release valve

[E] slowly counter clockwise.

When the vehicle is on jack stands, first lift the vehicle until the jack stands can easily be removed.

2. For storage, close the release valve by turning it completely clockwise

6. Cleaning and Maintenance

When the jack is not in use or for storage, lower the saddle completely to prevent corrosion. Always store the floor jack in a horizontal position to avoid oil leakage.

Keep the jack clean and keep all moving parts well lubricated. Remove excessive grease and dirt from the outside.

The jack contains about 7 fl. oz. (± 210 ml) oil (SAE5W). To check oil level, lower the saddle [A] completely and open the oil filler plug [J] under the cover plate [C]. Add oil when oil level is ½” (12 mm) under the plug hole.

The oil should be replaced once a year. To replace the oil, open the oil filler plug [J] and remove the release valve [E] completely by turning it counter clockwise. Be careful not to contaminate the inside of the hydraulic system! Remove and refill via the oil filler plug hole.

Use of improper oil or other fluid can cause serious damage to the internal parts of the jack! Take appropriate safety measurements when handling oil. Dispose of used oil in accordance with local regulations.

Re-install and close the release valve [E] completely.

Pull the saddle [A] all the way up than open the release valve [E] to lower the saddle. Force the saddle to lower faster. Close the release valve [E] and repeat this procedure a couple of times to ensure proper oil distribution.AFJ2T/AFJ2T-BMC

Inspect oil level and add/replace oil when necessary.

Remove air from hydraulic system.

If above steps do not solve the problem, there is something wrong with the hydraulic system itself. Contact your local dealer for service and support.

When there is load on the jack and it will not lower, remove the load by carefully lifting it with a second jack.
