Instruccions de funcionament
This section details the proper procedure for operating your hydraulic long ram jack.
Lifting a Load:
- Posicionament: Ensure the crane/hoist with the attached jack is positioned correctly and stably over the load to be lifted.
- Vàlvula d'alliberament tancat: Turn the release valve clockwise until it is firmly closed. Do not overtighten.
- Mànec de la bomba: Insert the pump handle into the handle socket. Pump the handle steadily up and down to raise the ram and lift the load.
- Càrrega del monitor: Lift the load slowly and observe its stability. Do not lift beyond the jack's maximum extension or the crane/hoist's safe operating limits.
- Càrrega segura: Once the desired height is reached, immediately secure the load with appropriate jack stands or other support devices before performing any work. The jack is a lifting device, not a load-holding device.
Lowering a Load:
- Àrea clara: Ensure the area beneath the load is clear of personnel and obstructions.
- Alliberament lent: Slowly and carefully turn the release valve counter-clockwise to gradually lower the ram. Do not open the valve too quickly, as this can cause the load to drop suddenly.
- Descens controlat: Maintain control over the lowering speed.
- Full Retraction: Once the load is fully lowered and supported, retract the jack completely.
