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. Put the Handle on the Release Valve and turn the

Handle counterclockwise to lower the Jack.

Once the Jack is fully lowered, turn the

Handle firmly clockwise to close it.

2. Put the Handle in the Handle Socket and

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. Put the Handle on the Release Valve and 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. Put the Handle in the Handle Socket and

position the Saddle under the lifting point.

Turn the Handle firmly clockwise and pump

to raise load high enough to clear the jack

stands, then carefully remove jack stands.

3. Put the Handle on the Release Valve and 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.

5. To prevent accidents, turn off the tool and

disconnect its power supply after use. Clean, then

store the tool indoors out of children’s reach.

Inspection, Maintenance, & Cleaning

 Proceduresnotspecicallyexplainedinthismanualmustbeperformedonlybyaqualied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.

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 in ”Bleeding” on page 4.

3. Change hydraulic oil at least once every three years:

a. With the Jack fully lowered, remove the Oil

Fill Screw on the side of the Hydraulic Unit.

b. Tip the Jack to allow the old hydraulic oil

to drain out of the Housing completely,

and dispose of the old hydraulic oil in

accordance with local regulations.

c. With the Jack upright, completely fill the Housing

with a high quality hydraulic oil (not included) until

the oil just begins to run out of the oil fill hole.

d. Open the Release Screw and pump the

Handle to bleed air from the system.

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

f. Reinstall the Oil Filler 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!
