2. Carefully position the Jack’s Saddle under the
vehicle manufacturer’s recommended lifting
point. (See vehicle manufacturer’s owner’s
manual for location of frame lifting point.)
3. Pump the Handle until the top of the Saddle has
nearly reached the vehicle’s lifting point. Position
the Saddle directly under the vehicle’s lifting point.
4. To lift the vehicle, pump the Handle.
Use smooth, full strokes.
5. Select matching jack stands (sold separately)
of appropriate capacity. Set the jack
stands to the same height according to
the manufacturer’s instructions, making
sure they lock securely into position.
6. Position the jack stands’ saddles under the vehicle
manufacturer’s recommended support points.
WE@I;IX] Ensure that the vehicle support
points are fully seated in the saddles of both
jack stands. Use a matched pair of jack stands
per vehicle to support one end only.
7. Slowly twist the Handle counterclockwise to
lower the vehicle onto the jack stands’ saddles.
8. Once the vehicle is fully seated on the
jack stands, continue slowly lowering the
Jack until it is completely lowered.
9. Remove the Jack and store safely out of the way.

change the hydraulic fluid:
a. With the Jack fully lowered,
remove the Fill Screw.
b. Tip the Jack over to allow the old hydraulic fluid to
drain out completely. Dispose of the old hydraulic
fluid in accordance with local regulations.
c. With the Jack upright, completely fill the
Hydraulic Unit with high grade hydraulic fluid until
the fluid is 1/4″ below the top of the Fill Port.
d. Turn the Handle counterclockwise
to open the Release Valve.
e. Pump the Handle up and down quickly
several times to purge air from the system.
f. Recheck fluid level and re-fill as needed.
g. Replace the Fill Screw.
4. EAF6@%6EVG%JD6M%wipe with a clean cloth.
