ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Remove 2-piece handle from box. Insert narrow portion
of top section (17) into bottom section (15) and secure
with bolt (16) provided.
2. Grease handle receptacle and insert slotted end of
handle into place. Tighten set screw (13) to secure
handle.
3. Then, slightly press down on the handle assembly to
release pressure on the handle assembly retainer and
remove retainer. This will allow handle to be raised to
operating position.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE USE: Air may become trapped in the hydraulic
system during transit. To purge air:
1. Open release valve by turning handle counterclockwise.
2. Pump handle rapidly 4 full strokes. This will expel air
that may have entered oil passages during transit.
3. Close release valve by rotating handle clockwise and
pump handle.
4. If lift arm is raised, jack is ready for use. If not, repeat
this procedure.
IMPORTANT: Before attempting to raise any vehicle, check
vehicle service manual for recommended lifting surfaces.
OPERATION:
1.
To raise load:
Close release valve tightly (by turning
handle clockwise). DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. Position
jack under load so that saddle will contact load firmly
and load is centered so it cannot slip. Operate jack
handle until saddle approaches the load. Once again,
check to see that saddle is correctly positioned. Raise
load to desired height. Place jack stands of appropriate
capacity under the vehicle. DO NOT CRAWL UNDER
VEHICLE WHILE LIFTING VEHICLE OR PLACING
OR REMOVING JACK STANDS! Place jack stands
at vehicle manufacturer’s recommended lift areas that
provide stable support for the raised vehicle. Once jack
stands are positioned, open the release valve VERY
SLOWLY (by turning the handle counterclockwise).
Lower the load to rest on the jack stands. Then, make
sure that the release valve on the jack is closed tightly
(by turning the handle clockwise).
2. To lower load: Re-check to make sure release valve
is tightly closed. Then, operate the jack handle until
the load is raised enough to remove the jack stands.
DO NOT CRAWL UNDER VEHICLE WHILE LIFTING
VEHICLE OR REMOVING THE JACK STANDS! Once
jack stands are removed, open release valve very slowly
to lower the vehicle. Lower jack completely so that the
vehicle is securely resting on the ground and that jack
no longer makes contact with vehicle.
CAUTION:
Keep hands or feet away from the hinge
mechanism of the jack.
MAINTENANCE
When adding or replacing hydraulic fluid, always use a
quality hydraulic fluid. DO NOT use brake fluid, alcohol,
detergent motor oil, dirty oil or any fluid other than quality
hydraulic fluid. Improper fluids can cause internal damage
to the jack and improper or unsafe operation.
Adding Hydraulic Fluid
With the saddle fully lowered and the jack on level ground,
remove the filler screw. Hydraulic fluid should be filled to
the level of the filler screw hole. If the level is below this
hole, add hydraulic fluid as needed.
LUBRICATION
All moving joints require lubrication often. Lightly grease
saddle post and saddle bottom. Remove handle and
grease the lower end of handle where it rotates in the
handle socket. Using a grease gun, grease the lift arm pivot
shaft grease fitting until grease appears at the end of the
shaft. Oil all lift arm linkages, front wheels and rear casters.
