EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: Read these safety instructions carefully in addition to the instructions for use, operation and maintenance.
This hydraulic bottle jack has been designed for use in the elevation of cars and lorries, although it may also be used in other applications, provided that the
manufacturer's instructions reflected in this manual are complied with.
Any other application, beyond the conditions established for use of this hydraulic bottle jack will be considered inappropriate.
Handle the hydraulic bottle jack correctly and ensure that all parts are in good condition prior to its use.
Only authorised persons should operate the hydraulic bottle jack having read carefully and understood the contents of this manual.
Do not modify the hydraulic bottle jack in any way.
Non-compliance with these rules may result in injury or damage to the user, the hydraulic bottle jack or the load to be lifted.
The manufacturer accepts no responsibility for the improper use of the hydraulic bottle jack.
1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (§ 7.1.1 de l'EN 1494+A1)
The owner and/or operator shall have an understanding of the product, its operating characteristics, and safety operating instructions before operating it.
Safety information shall be understood:
1.1 Study, understand and follow all instructions before operating this device.
1.2 Do not exceed rated capacity.
1.3 Support the vehicle with appropriate means immediately after lifting.
1.4 Lift only on areas of the vehicle as specified by the vehicle manufacturer.
1.5 No alterations shall be made to this product.
1.6 Only attachments and/or adapters applied by the manufacturer shall be used.
1.7 Visual inspection shall be made before each use by checking for abnormal conditions, such as cracked welds, leaks, and damaged, loose, or missing
parts.
1.8 It shall be the responsibility of the employer to ensure that applicable personal protective equipment (PPE) complies with applicable local safety codes.
1.9 Any product that appears to be damaged in any way, is found to be worn, or operates abnormally SHALL BE REMOVED FROM SERVICE UNTIL
REPAIRED OR REPLACED.
1.10 The hydraulic bottle jack should be supported on a solid, level and horizontal surface which is well illuminated and free of obstructions. Never stand
the hydraulic bottle jack on a surface which may sink.
1.11 Ensure that there are no persons inside the vehicle to be lifted. Switch off the engine and apply the brake. Ensure the vehicle or element to be lifted
against any type of sliding. Use chocks if appropriate (1). Do not enter the vehicle or start the engine whilst it is supported on the hydraulic bottle jack
or appropriate stands.
1.12 During raising and lowering of the load, all precautions should be taken to avoid movement of the vehicle load. Traffic may cause the raised vehicle to
rock during roadside use of the hydraulic bottle jack.
1.13 The hydraulic bottle jack should be positioned so as to avoid the need for the user to introduce any part of his/her body underneath the vehicle.
Never work under a raised vehicle without previously supporting it with mechanical stands (2) or other appropriate methods.
1.14 It is necessary for the operator to be able to observe the lifting device and the load during all movements. In the presence of dangerous conditions,
such as movement of the vehicle, etc, the lifting process must be interrupted.
1.15 Ensure that there are no persons or obstructions underneath the vehicle prior to lowering.
1.16 As an additional safety measure against overload, the hydraulic bottle jack is fitted with an overload valve (optional in models of 2t to 5t) set at the
factory and which should not be adjusted under any circumstances.
1.17 If the device jams, lift the vehicle with another jack until the first can be cleared.
1.18 Do not use the hydraulic bottle jack in the presence of violent wind, frost, under extreme climates, near powerful magnetic fields or potentially
explosive atmospheres.
1.19 Avoid any contact between the hydraulic bottle jack and food.
1.20 Never use this hydraulic bottle jack to lift persons.
1.21 Never use this hydraulic bottle jack as a handling means (for moving loads).
1.22 Before use on a ship, please refer to the safety instructions in point 1.10 of these instructions.
1.23 The maximum manual forces required for operating the hydraulic bottle jack (unloaded and loaded with the nominal load respectively) do not exceed
the following values:
To start moving an unloaded movable or mobile hydraulic bottle jack : 300 N
To maintain the movement of the unloaded hydraulic bottle jack : 200 N
To start moving a loaded mobile hydraulic bottle jack : 400 N
To maintain the movement of the loaded hydraulic bottle jack : 300 N
To lift the loaded hydraulic bottle jack using the lever of a hand pump: 400 N
To lift the loaded hydraulic bottle jack using a foot pump: 400 N
To lift the hydraulic bottle jack with a rated load ≤ 5 t using a crank: 250 N
NOTE If the loads generated exceed these values, they must be reduced by the intervention of additional persons.
1.24 If oil overflows, please do not use the hydraulic bottle jack, and refer to section 5 of these user instructions or contact your Facom dealer.
1.25 This hydraulic bottle jack is designed for 5000 operating cycles minimum.
1.26 This hydraulic bottle jack complies with the NF EN 1494+A1 standard: Mobile or movable jacks and associated lifting equipment.
Failure to heed these markings may result in personal injury and/or property damage.
2. USE AND OPERATION (§ 7.1.2 de l'EN 1494+A1)
Important: Prior to lifting the load, ensure that all of the aforementioned safety instructions are followed.
2.1 The extension screw of the hydraulic bottle jacks, if fitted, complements their stroke. It is advisable not to fully extend it.
2.2 For lifting, fully close the release valve and move the handle up and down using the full stroke range of the piston for greater speed.
2.3 For lowering, slowly turn the release valve in an anti-clockwise direction using the handle, ensuring that there are no persons or obstacles under the
vehicle to be lowered. The lowering speed is controlled by adjusting the release valve.
2.4 If the hydraulic bottle jack is subjected to a load greater than the nominal set, it has an overload valve (optional 2t to 5t) rated at 0 + 15% from the
nominal value to prevent the vehicle continue lifting.
2.5 Important. Due to the characteristics of telescopic hydraulic bottle jacks, a residue of oil may be observed in some of the pistons.
This is totally normal and is part of the correct operation of the hydraulic bottle jack.
2.6 To raise the hydraulic bottle jack, use narrow end of jack handle to tighten release valve clockwise (CW ). Insert handle into socket, and operate pump.
2.7 To lower the hydraulic bottle jack, SLOW LY open the release valve knob by turning it counter clockwise (CCW).
2.8 Only BTI hydraulic bottle jack serie can be used in horizontal position (see drawing).
