SETUP (CONT.)
c) Close the release valve by turning the #32 handle clockwise until it stops. Pump the jack against a load of at
least 500 pounds (225 Kgs). After the load is raised to maximum height, slightly turn the #32 handle in a
counterclockwise direction so the load is very slowly lowered, while simultaneously and quickly pumping the
handle 5 or 6 full incremental pump strokes. After pumping, lower the lift arm to its full rest position.
d) Install the oil fill plug. Rotate the #32 handle in a clockwise direction until tight and pump the lift arm to
maximum height without a load. If the pumping condition has improved, repeat steps a) through d) until all the
air has been purged from the system.
IMPORTANT: Before attempting to raise any vehicle, check vehicle service manual for recommended lifting surfaces.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
This is the safety alert symbol used for the OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS section of this manual to alert you to
potential personal injury hazards. Obey all instructions to avoid possible injury or death. IMPORTANT: Before
attempting to raise any vehicle, check vehicle service manual for recommended lifting surfaces.
OPERATION
1. Put vehicle transmission in park or in gear and then apply the emergency brake.
To raise load:
Turn the handle in a clockwise direction until tight. Position the jack under the load. Proceed to pump
the handle in order to raise the lift arm to the load. As the saddle at the end of the lift arm gets closer to the load,
reposition the jack so the saddle will contact the load firmly and the load is centered on the saddle. Make sure the
saddle is correctly positioned. Raise the load to the desired work height. Place jack stands of appropriate capacity at
the vehicle manufacturers's recommended support areas that provide stable support for the raised vehicle.
DO NOT
CRAWL UNDER VEHICLE WHILE LIFTING VEHICLE OR PLACING OR REMOVING THE JACK STANDS!
Once jack
stands are positioned, turn the jack handle VERY SLOWLY in a counterclockwise direction to lower the load to rest
on the jack stands. Inspect the relationship between the jack stands and load to make sure the setup is stable and
safe. If the setup is not stable or safe, follow the preceding steps until corrected.
2.
To lower load:
Follow the procedures mentioned in "To raise load" section of the OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS in
order to raise the load off the jack stands. Once the load has cleared the jack stands, remove the jack stands from
under the load and away from the work area. Turn handle very slowly in a counterclockwise direction until the load
is completely lowered to the ground. Once the jack's lifting saddle has cleared the load, remove the jack from under
the load.
CAUTION:
Keep hands and feet away from the hinge mechanism of the jack.
PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
This is the safety alert symbol used for the PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE section of this manual to alert you
to potential personal injury hazards. Obey all instructions to avoid possible injury or death.
1. Always store the jack in a well protected area where it will not be exposed to inclement weather, corrosive vapors,
abrasive dust, or any other harmful elements. The jack must be cleaned of water, snow, sand or grit before using.
2. The jack must be lubricated periodically in order to prevent premature wearing of parts. A general purpose grease
must be applied to caster wheels, front axle, elevator arm, handle base pivot bolts, release mechanism and all other
bearing surfaces. Worn parts resulting from inadequate or no lubrication are not eligible for warranty consideration.
See page 5 for lubrication instructions.
IMPORTANT:
In order to prevent seal damage and jack failure, never use alcohol, hydraulic brake fluid, or transmission
oil in the jack. Use hydraulic jack oil, a light turbine oil, Chevron AW ISO 32 or Unocal Unax AW 150.
3. Every jack owner is responsible for keeping the jack labels clean and readable. Use a mild soap solution to wash
external surfaces of the jack but not any moving hydraulic components.
4. Inspect the jack before each use. Do not use the jack if any component is cracked, broken, bent, shows sign of dam-
age or leaks hydraulic fluid. Do not use the jack if it has loose or missing hardware or components, or is modified in
any way. Take corrective action before using the jack again.
PROPER STORAGE
It is recommended that the jack be stored in a dry location with all wheels touching the ground on a relatively level surface.
