Bottle Jacks
Lifting
WARNING! TO PREVENT SERIOUS
INJURY: Set Jack on a flat, level, solid,
ground surface. If using with vehicle, set
safely away from oncoming traffic and
turn off vehicle’s engine.
Also place the
vehicle’s transmission in “PARK” (if automatic)
or in its lowest gear (if manual). Set the
vehicle’s emergency brake. Then, block
the wheels that are
not
being lifted.
1. Place the lower portion of the Handle
over 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 the Release Valve.
2. Carefully position the Saddle of the
Jack under the vehicle manufacturer’s
recommended lifting point. The
Elevating Screw can be used to alter the
height of the Jack’s Saddle; it is adjusted
by turning it clockwise or counterclockwise.
(See vehicle manufacturer’s owner’s
manual for location of
seam
lifting
point when lifting only one wheel and
frame
lifting points when lifting the
entire front or rear end of the vehicle.)

Note:
The Jack should be positioned at 90°
to the vehicle’s lifting point to ensure the
Jack’s Saddle and vehicle lifting point are
in alignment. If not, remove and reposition
the Jack before lifting the vehicle.
4. To lift the vehicle, pump the
Handle of the Jack. Use smooth,
full strokes for best results.
5. Once the vehicle is raised, slide a
jack stand of appropriate capacity (not
included) to the proper lifting point referred
to in the vehicle owner’s manual. If using
two jack stands, position them at the
same point on each side of the vehicle.
6. Center the vehicle’s lifting point(s) on
the saddle of the jack stand(s). Set
up the jack stand(s) according to the
manufacturer’s instructions, making sure
that they lock securely into position.
Note:
If using two jack stands they
must be at the same height.
7. Place the Handle over the Release
Valve and slowly turn the Handle
counterclockwise
to
open the Release
Valve and lower the vehicle onto the
saddle(s) of the jack stand(s). Then,
turn the Handle firmly
clockwise
to close the Release Valve.
