Keep the following in mind when using a bottle jack:
The base of the jack should be fully supported and as level as possible. When working on soft surfaces, put a sturdy metal plate under the base of the jack for stability. |

Do not try to lift a load more than the rated stroke. If you need to lift the load further, block the load, raise the level of the jack with a sturdy support, and continue the lift |
REMEMBER: Do not go under a load supported by a bottle jack. After the load has been raised, it should be blocked.
