Pressure relief valve in hydraulic block
These hand-hydraulic and pneumatic-hydraulic combined pit jacks / axle and
transmission jacks are lifting devices for lifting vehicles and vehicle
components. The pit jack can be moved longitudinally and transversely via a
carriage, the axle and gear jack via a floor-running carriage with rollers.
An attached support claw serves as a load carrying device. For special load
application points on vehicles, other suitable supports from our range of
accessories can be fitted (support plate, transmission plate, axle traverse).
The hydraulic block contains load, suction and overload valves. The self-closing
lowering screw is also mounted on the hydraulic block. An overflow system is
installed for automatic bleeding.
Special features of manually operated jacks (hand-hydraulic):
The high-pressure and low-pressure hand pumps are mounted according to the
spare parts list, depending on the type (see www.maha.de/de/support).
Compared to the high-pressure hand pump, the low-pressure hand pump has a
larger pump cross-section and thus a larger delivery volume.
Due to its smaller pump cross-section, the high-pressure hand pump has the
ability to achieve higher hydraulic pressures and thus lift heavy loads.
Special features of automatically operated jacks (pneumatic-hydraulic):
In pneumatic-hydraulic pit jacks with rapid control, the hydraulic oil in the tank is
pressurized by compressed air. This displaces the hydraulic oil and the lifting
piston quickly reaches the load application.
The air motor (LM) is an oscillating pneumatic-hydraulic pressure intensifier,
which is firmly bolted to the hydraulic block. It is driven by compressed air and
transports the hydraulic oil.
2.2 Service Life
The product is designed for 22,000 load cycles as standard in accordance with
EN 1493. The duration of the intended use in relation to the possible product
service life must be assessed and determined by an expert during the annual
equipment inspection.

2.3 Carriages
Carriage Types
Three types of carriage are distinguished for the following jacks:
Suspended jacks (A) are designed exclusively for use in pits. The carriage is
held in its fixed track by flanged rollers. In addition, the lifter can be moved in
the chassis transverse to the pit.
Floor-running jacks (B) are freely movable and are used in pits as well as un-
der vehicle lifts for lifting and lowering power units.
Rail-guided jacks (C) are designed exclusively for use in pits. The carriage is
held in its fixed track by flanged or deflector rollers. In addition, the jack can
be moved in the carriage transverse to the pit. The track rollers run directly
on rails or in steel profiles. The running surface must be level, firm and clean.
The slope of the ground must not exceed 2%.

2.4 Safety Features
1 Pressure relief valve in hydraulic block
The pressure relief valve is a safety valve. This valve is used to limit the
maximum permissible hydraulic pressure in order to safeguard the pressure
system against excessive pressure and to prevent damage.
2 Lowering spindle
The lowering spindle is equipped with an automatic spring return which
ensures that the travel command is only executed when the star grip is
turned (dead man's control).
2.5 Compressed Air Supply
NOTE
Connect pneumatically actuated jacks to a suitable compressed air supply.
They may only be operated with dry, lubricated compressed air according to ISO
8573-1:2010 [1:4:2]. A maintenance unit, should be located immediately
upstream of the siphon.

5 Operation
5.1 Safety Instructions for Operation
WARNING
The jack may only be operated by trained persons who have reached the age
of 18.
The operator is responsible for ensuring that the operator has been instruct-
ed and is familiar with the operating instructions.
The operator must check the safety devices before commissioning.
The load capacity specified on the type plate must not be exceeded.
For vehicles that need to be lifted at two points, use clip-on axle traverses.
When driving a vehicle up and down the pit of the lifter, no persons may be in
the danger zone.
Positioning of the jack under the load may only be performed by trained per-
sonnel.
The vehicle or vehicle components may only be picked up at the points pro-
vided for this purpose.
Only vehicles and vehicle components that are suitable for the lifting equip-
ment due to the shape and position of the lifting points may be lifted.
During the lifting and lowering process, the operator must exercise extreme
caution and circumspection in overlooking the load and the danger area. If
this cannot be ensured by one person, another person must be called in.
After briefly lifting the vehicle free by the jack, check that the vehicle is se-
curely picked up.
Load and lifter must be observed by the operator during the lifting and lower-
ing process.
Riding with the load or on the load handling attachment is prohibited.
If the safety area cannot be completely overlooked by the operator, it must be
monitored by a trained second person.
During the lifting and lowering process, no persons may be in the movement
area of the lifter and load.
After completing the lifting operation, remove the pump operating lever (if
present) and place it in the designated location.
The load may only be lifted at the component's center of gravity (axle, gear-
box, engine,...); the vehicle must be able to roll during the lifting and lowering
movement. This allows the load to center itself over the lifter.
Loads must be applied to the load handling attachment in such a way that
unintentional changes in position are prevented.
Height differences of the pick-up points must be compensated (for example
with adjustable pick-up plates).
18 BA551601-en
It is not permitted to work under the lifted load unless it is secured by suita-
ble means (DIN EN 1494).
The lifter must always be moved with both hands. If the required manual
forces cannot be provided by one person, another person must be called in.
Operators must ensure that they do not endanger themselves or others dur-
ing all movements of the pit lift.
If the floor is uneven in the area of the lifter, it must be secured against rolling
away.
Use of the jack on a surface with a slope of more than 1° is not permitted.
No tools or other objects may be placed on the load suspension means of
the jack.
The gear unit jack may only be moved with a load when it is retracted. It must
be ensured that the load is picked up at the center of gravity of the compo-
nent and secured in a suitable manner on the load handling attachment (e.g.
by lashing straps).
When installing and removing heavy vehicle components (en-
gine/aggregates), the center of gravity position may change. In this case,
suitable measures (determination of the center of gravity, control of the pick-
up point) must be taken to prevent tipping before the jack is lifted again.
Before lowering, the operator must ensure that there are no objects in the
movement range of the jack and load.
Load handling attachments must not be deliberately set in vibration.
Since the chassis is not secured against tipping on the ground, side loading
is generally prohibited.
The oil level in the hydraulic system must be checked regularly by trained
personnel.
The completeness and legibility of the safety instructions on the siphon must
be checked annually.
In the event of malfunctions, the range of movement of the jack and load
must be secured. Take the lifter out of operation and notify customer service.
The operator must ensure suitable lighting conditions at the workplace.
In order to secure the lifter against unauthorized use, it is essential to dis-
connect the lifter from the compressed air supply or to shut off the com-
pressed air supply line at the end of operation.
The hydraulic components must be checked annually.
The safety features must not be replaced or overridden.
Troubleshooting is only permitted by authorized personnel.
Observe the notes on correct assembly and disassembly in the operating in-
structions.
BA551601-en 19
5.2 Preparing the Lifting Operation
5.2.1 Initial Position
1 Piston rod is in lowered position.
2 Air supply is available and connected.
3 Load carrying device is attached, see section General Operating Instructions
for Lifting Accessories”.
4 Keep support systems ready, see section General Operating Instructions for

Instructions “Lifting accessories for Pit Jacks”.
5.2.2 Positioning the Vehicle and the Pit Jack
1 Slowly and carefully position the vehicle centrally above the pit.
2 Parking brake must be released.
3 Position the pit jack below the lifting point (centre of gravity of the
component to be lifted).
5.2.3 Checking the Safety Device
The safety device can be checked by actuating the lowering spindle:
1 Turn the lowering spindle counterclockwise.
2 Release the lowering spindle, it must return to its initial position.
3 Additionally check the torsion spring for corrosion and damage.
20 BA551601-en
5.3 Raising and Lowering
(Designation A to E: see section “Description > Design and Operating Principle”)
5.3.1 Manual Lifting Operation
Unloaded Rapid Stroke
Rapid stroke is performed via the manually operated rapid control (D). Extend
the piston rod to the lifting point (axle, gearbox).
Load stroke
Load stroke takes place via the manually operated load stroke control (F).
5.3.2 Automatic Lifting Operation
Unloaded Rapid Stroke
By actuating the automatic rapid control (B), the piston rod extends to the lifting
point (axle, gearbox). Depending on the air pressure and the lifting height
reached, the piston rod extends a little further even after the pushbutton is
released! Therefore, a distance to the lifting point must be maintained.
Load Stroke
Load stroke takes place via the automatic load stroke control (E).
5.3.3 Support
After reaching the desired lifting height, support the load with original MAHA
support systems. For handling and operation, see the Original Operating
Instructions "Lifting Accessories for Pit Jacks".
5.3.4 Lowering Operation
Lowering under Load
When lowering under load, the lowering valve may only be opened by slow,
slight counterclockwise rotation of the lowering spindle (A) to achieve a
controlled lowering movement.
Lowering without Load
Open the drain spindle (A) by turning it counterclockwise as far as it will go and
lower the piston rod completely. In the case of automatically operated jacks,
this will actuate the lowering valve, and the piston rod is retracted using
compressed air.
