to bleed its hydraulic system of excess air.
1. Remove the Fluid Fill Plug from the side of the Ram.

6. Replace the Fluid Fill Plug.

2. Have an assistant hold the Release Pedal down.

7. Test the Jack several times for proper operation
before attempting to lift a load. If the Jack still
does not appear to be working properly after
bleeding, do not use the Jack until it has been
repaired by a qualified service technician.

3. Use stable weights, such as sand bags (not
included) to weigh down the Wheel Brackets evenly.

1. Determine the wheel width of the ATV/mower,
and adjust the Wheel Bracket supports to
match that width. Lock them in place using the
Width Pins. WARNING! Adjust them so that they
are equally distant from the center of the Jack,
or else the Jack will be unstable and might tip.
2. Examine the bottom of each ATV/mower wheel that
is touching the floor. Adjust the depth of both Wheel
Brackets to be slightly larger than that distance.
3. Press the Release Pedal to lower the Jack.
Once the Jack is fully lowered,
release the Release Pedal.
4. Use the ATV/mower’s steering
to straighten its wheels.
5. Press the fronts of the Wheel Brackets straight
against the fronts of the ATV/mower’s wheels.
Push the Wheel Brackets under the wheels until
both wheels rest in the center of the Wheel Bracket.

6. Place the two Safety Lock Levers in the closed,
locked position to enable the locking mechanism.
Refer to Components on page 7.
7. Place the vehicle’s transmission in NEUTRAL.
Hold the Handle and pump the Foot Pedal.
Use smooth, full strokes for best results.
8. Raise the vehicle to the desired height. As the load
is lifted the locking mechanism will automatically
engage to lock the Lift Arm in one of three positions.
9. After the vehicle is lifted, use wheel
chocks (sold separately) to block the rear
wheels that are not being lifted.
10. Make sure the Lift Arm is locked in one
of the three available positions before
working on the ATV/mower.
