SAFETYOPERATIONMAINTENANCE SETUP

General Operating Instructions

Lifting

Park vehicle on a flat, level, solid, surface safely away from oncoming traffic. Turn off the vehicle’s

engine. Place the vehicle’s transmission in “PARK” (if automatic) or in its lowest gear (if manual).

Set the vehicle’s emergency brake. Then, chock the wheels that are not being lifted.

1. Turn the Handle counterclockwise to lower the Jack.

Once the Jack is fully lowered, turn the

Handle firmly clockwise to close it.

2. Carefully position the Saddle of the Jack 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 Jack’s Saddle

has nearly reached the vehicle lifting point. Position

the Saddle directly under the vehicle’s lifting point.

4. To lift the vehicle, pump the Handle of

the Jack. Use smooth, full strokes.

5. Once the vehicle is raised, slide a jack stand of

appropriate capacity (not included) under a proper

lifting point referred to in the vehicle owner’s

manual. Always use two jack stands. Position them

at the same point on each side of the vehicle.

WARNING! The rated capacity of jack stands is

per pair, not the individual capacities combined

unless specifically noted on the product by the jack

stand manufacturer. Do not exceed rated jack stand

capacity. Ensure that the vehicle support points

are fully seated in the saddle of both jack stands.

Use a matched pair of jack stands per vehicle to

support one end only. Failure to do so may result

in the load suddenly falling, which may cause

personal injury and/or property damage.

6. Center the vehicle’s lifting point(s) on the saddle of

the jack stand(s). Set the jack stand(s) to the same

height according to the manufacturer’s instructions,

making sure that they lock securely into position.

7. Slowly turn the Handle counterclockwise to lower

the vehicle onto the saddle(s) of the jack stand(s).

Then, turn the Handle firmly clockwise to close it.

Lowering

1. Carefully remove all tools, parts, etc.

from under the vehicle.

2. Position the Saddle under the lifting point.

Turn the Handle firmly clockwise and raise

load high enough to clear the jack stands,

then carefully remove jack stands.

3. Slowly turn the Handle counterclockwise

(never more than 1/2 full turn) to lower

the vehicle onto the ground.

4. Lower the Jack completely. Then, store in a

safe, dry location out of reach of children.

SAFETY OPERATION MAINTENANCESETUP

Maintenance and Servicing

Procedures not specifically explained in this manual must

be performed only by a qualified technician.

TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM TOOL FAILURE:

Do not use damaged equipment. If abnormal noise or vibration

occurs, have the problem corrected before further use.

Cleaning, Maintenance, and Lubrication

1. Before each use, inspect the general condition

of the Jack. Check for broken, cracked, or bent

parts, loose or missing parts, and any condition

that may affect the proper operation of the product.

If a problem occurs, have the problem corrected

before further use.

Do not use damaged equipment.

2. Before each use, thoroughly test the Jack

for proper operation prior to its actual use.

If the Jack appears not to be working properly,

follow Bleeding instructions on page 4.

3. Change the hydraulic fluid at least

once every three years:

a. With the Jack fully lowered, remove the

Fluid Fill Plug on the side of the Housing.

b. Tip the Jack to allow the old hydraulic fluid

to drain out of the Housing completely,

and dispose of the old hydraulic fluid in

accordance with local regulations.

c. With the Jack upright, completely fill the Housing

with a high quality hydraulic fluid (not included)

until the fluid is 1/4″ below the fill hole.

d. Open the valve by turning the Handle

counterclockwise and pump the Handle

to bleed air from the system.

e. Recheck fluid level and re-fill as needed.

f. Reinstall the Fluid Fill Plug.

4. Wipe dry with a clean cloth. Then, store the

Jack in a safe, dry location out of reach of

children and other non-authorized people.

Troubleshooting

TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY:

Use caution when troubleshooting a malfunctioning jack. Stay well clear of the supported load.

Completely resolve all problems before use. If the solutions presented in the Troubleshooting guide

do not solve the problem, have a qualified technician inspect and repair the jack before use.

After the jack is repaired: Test it carefully without a load by raising and lowering it fully,

checking for proper operation, BEFORE RETURNING THE JACK TO OPERATION.

DO NOT USE A DAMAGED OR MALFUNCTIONING JACK!
