The Chief AirJack (see Figure 1) is a lightweight lifting
tool that is easy to use. The device is ideal for tire and
alignment shops, body shops, and service garages that fre-
quently need to elevate the front end, rear end or side of
a vehicle for tire removal / installation.
Read all of the instructions and warnings provided before
attempting to operate the Chief Air Jack. Also, make sure
all personnel who are to use the Chief Air Jack are familiar
with its operation.
To operate the Chief air jack:
1. Position vehicle on solid flat surface and engage its
parking brake.
2. Block vehicles front and rear wheels.
3. Attach air hose to air jack and position jack on solid flat
surface directly below structural component to be lifted.
NOTE: • Air inlet on control base handle accepts 1/4
inch NPT fitting. (See Figure 2.) Add a
few drops of pneumatic tool oil to air inlet
monthly.

4. Check the intended lifting point on the structural compo-
nent. This location must be parallel with base of air jack
