1. DESCRIPTION OF EQUIPMENT
The model BT TOP jack is a manually operated
mechanical jack.
2. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
To use the jack, turn the operating handle.
When lifting (and respectively descending),
place lever 1 fig. 7 in the "UP" position
(respectively "DN" position) and turn the crank
clockwise (respectively counter-clockwise)
back and forth or making full turns.
Lever 1 fig. 7 placed in "FREE" position, the
rotation of the crank in one direction or the
other produces no effect on the movement of
the load.
100% of the WLL can be applied to the head or
GB
foot of the jack (fig. 1).
The action of the operating handle may be
stopped at any time. The load is held firmly.
To ensure that the brake operates correctly do
not apply any lubricant through the operating
handle axle.
3. WARNINGS AGAINST HAZARDOUS
OPERATIONS
a) Avoid overload and check that the load
never exceeds the standard working load
marked on the plate.
b) Never work or position yourself under a load
lifted by a jack. The load shall be correctly
secured and balanced by wedges the
resistance of which has been calculated to
maintain the load in position. (fig. 5)
c) Never knock or bang against a load lifted by
a jack (fig. 6).
d) Never lift a load with the jack in an inclined
position (fig. 2).
e) Ensure that at the base of the jack, the
ground is sufficiently firm to support the
load. If not, strengthening arrangements
should be made. Any arrangements where
strengtheners are used should be checked
by a competent person (fig. 3).
f) Never use the jack to lift loads that could
give way or of which the various parts are
not firmly locked together (fig. 4).
g) Never use a rusty or damaged jack.
h) Never leave a load lifted by a jack
unattended.
i) During any lifting or lowering operation, take
great care to ensure that the user is out of
range should the load fall.
4. CHECKS BEFORE USE
a) Ensure that the load to be lifted or moved
does not exceed the maximum working load
of the jack.
b) Check that no part of the jack is corroded,
damaged or broken. Replace any jack
showing any of these signs.
c) Without any load on the jack, check that the
operating handle turns freely and does not
catch at any point, over the full lifting range
of the jack.
5. MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
a) At least annually, the mechanical and
general condition of the jack should be
checked by an
repairer.
b) Where the jack is subject to a high rate of
usage or used in conditions which are
particularly dusty or subject to the effects of
corrosive chemicals, the jack should be
checked more often.
c) Ensure that the gearing and sliding guide
are well lubricated. Use TOTAL multi EP 1 or
Molydal Multi TP grade 1 lubrication.
d) Never apply a lubricant, grease or oil or
aerosol, through the side case at the point of
the operating handle axle, which could
adversely affect the correct operation of the
brake.
e) In case of doubt about the condition or
efficiency of the jack, contact your dealer or
