Safety measures and precautions

1. Read and Follow the Manufacturer’s Instructions:
   • Always read and thoroughly understand the user manual and safety guidelines provided by the manufacturer before using the bottle jack.
2. Inspect the Jack Before Use:
   • Check the jack for any visible damage, leaks, or worn-out components.
   • Ensure that all moving parts, including the pump handle and release valve, are in good working condition.
3. Use on Stable and Level Ground:
   • Place the bottle jack on a stable and level surface to prevent tipping or instability during operation.
   • Avoid using the jack on soft or uneven ground that may cause it to sink or shift.
4. Check Weight Capacity:
   • Ensure that the bottle jack’s weight capacity is suitable for the load you intend to lift.
   • Do not exceed the specified weight limit, as this can compromise the jack’s safety and performance.
5. Center the Load:
   • Position the load directly above the center of the jack to ensure even weight distribution.
   • Avoid side-loading, as it can cause the jack to tilt or fail.
6. Secure the Load:
   • Before lifting, make sure the load is stable and securely positioned on the lifting pad.
   • Use appropriate support stands or blocks to provide additional stability.
7. Keep Hands and Body Clear:
   • Keep hands, fingers, and body parts away from moving parts, especially during the lifting and lowering process.
   • Do not place hands or feet under the load or the lifting mechanism.
8. Use Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):
   • Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including gloves and safety glasses, to protect against potential hazards.
9. Operate the Jack Correctly:
   • Pump the jack handle evenly and steadily to avoid sudden movements.
   • Use the release valve cautiously to lower the load slowly and under control.
10. Avoid Overextension:
    • Do not extend the lifting arm or ram beyond its specified limit.
    • Use extension pieces or blocks recommended by the manufacturer if additional height is required.
11. Regular Maintenance:
    • Perform regular inspections and maintenance on the bottle jack according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.
    • Keep the jack clean and lubricate moving parts as needed.
12. Emergency Procedures:
    • Be familiar with emergency procedures, including the location of the release valve and how to lower the load in case of power loss or malfunction.
