Quick guide from the manual

This manual covers the operation and safety requirements for GÜDE bottle jacks. These jacks are designed exclusively for the temporary lifting of vehicles. Always ensure the jack is placed on a solid, firm, and flat surface before use. Never exceed the rated lifting capacity.

Technical Data

The following specifications apply to the GSH series:

  • GSH 2T: 2t capacity, 148-276 mm height, 2.2 kg
  • GSH 5T: 5t capacity, 185-355 mm height, 3.8 kg
  • GSH 10T: 10t capacity, 195-375 mm height, 5.7 kg
  • GSH 20T: 20t capacity, 217-407 mm height, 9.8 kg

Safety Instructions

Strict adherence to safety protocols is required to prevent injury or damage:

  • Never stay under a load supported only by the jack. Use separate trestles or brackets for support.
  • Do not move the vehicle while it is on the jack.
  • Ensure the vehicle is secured against rolling before lifting.
  • Do not use the jack if it is damaged or if safety equipment is defective.
  • Keep children and bystanders at a safe distance (at least 5m).
  • Do not use the jack on ships or in contact with food/explosive materials.

Operation

Assembly: Connect the two-part handle provided in the package.

Lifting: Ensure the bleeder screw is firmly closed. Insert the handle into the socket and pump to raise the jack. Always position the jack at the manufacturer-specified lifting points on the vehicle.

Lowering: Carefully turn the release valve to lower the load. Keep hands and body away from the lift arm during this process.

Maintenance and Care

Regular maintenance is essential for safe operation:

  • Clean the device only with a damp cloth; do not use solvents or flammable liquids.
  • Apply environment-friendly oil to all moving parts.
  • If the device is blocked, use another jack to lift the vehicle and release the blocked unit.
  • Store the tool in a dry, secure place out of reach of children.
